Picking up moments after the last book ended, we learn who kidnapped conman Nick Fox and why. Can FBI agent Kate O’Hare track him down? Will this reveal their secret partnership? And what scheme can they stop next?

Yes, I’m being especially vague on the plot, but most of the fun of this book is seeing how things unfold as the book progresses. The story moves quickly and keep the pages turning. As always, the characters could be a tad sharper, but some of the supporting characters are a hoot.

Monk and Natalie return from New Jersey to find a dead woman in Natalie's bathtub. Then Monk's brother wants them to track down his missing girlfriend. Can they do it? As always, the plots are fun and really take advantage of Monk's abilities. However, it's what Lee does with the characters that really makes them shine. It's an outgrowth of the last few books and is what I am going to miss most after the last one of these comes out next year.

I am always excited for a new Rockton novel. This one did not disappoint. The action picks up immediately after the end of the last novel making the series run seamlessly. We get to find out a bit more about Casey, Rockton and its residents, which is a rich source material that author Kelley Armstrong knows how to utilize. Learning about Casey’s family was interesting although, in one of the very few issues with these books, it seems unbelievable that her parents would have behaved a certain way being “scientists” and considering themselves “overachieving medical geniuses”. Either way, Kelley Armstrong can do no wrong in my opinion. A must read!!
