DESCRIPTION:
"Great book" according to Kindle Customer. I liked the protaganists Well developed characters;. many twists. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I discovered I was wrong. Then I thought I had it figured out and it seemed the first thought was correct but it was not. It went on this way all the way to the end. It was definitely not predictable. I recommend this book to readers who like to be thoughtfully challenged.. "Disappointing" according to Amazon Customer. I usually really enjoy David Baldacci, but this book was a huge disappointment. I almost quit reading at the beginning due to the gorey description of the first murder scene. Those types of descriptions don't usually bother me, but this one seemed to be worse than most. Add the multiple scenes in the morgue and the description of the smells and it was enough to completely turn me off.There were also too many plots and subplots going on, many of which were really irrelevant to t. "but book 2 was not my favorite of the series" according to Lucy. I would rate the series 5 stars, but book 2 was not my favorite of the series, the plot moves in too many directions. Nonetheless, I would highly encourage all to read the series as it is action packed, suspenseful and romanticEXCELLENT READING!

But even before the chief suspect in the break-in meets his death in a gruesome slaying reminiscent of a serial killer long since caught and punished, King and Maxwell get caught up in a string of other murders, each of which copies the techniques of another madman, from San Francisco's Zodiac Killer to Chicago's infamous John Wayne Gacy. . While the two protagonists aren't especially complex or well-developed, the action never stops, and Baldacci's trademark pacing keeps the reader turning pages until the denouement, which unfortunately isn't quite as satisfying as the rest of the novel.
