Initial Impressions 4/15/12: Wow, this is another one I just could not put down. Another mystery which I couldn't figure out until the very end, a total surprise, and so clever. These stories are so gripping and suspenseful... I'd say probably the best murder-mystery books I've read.

Review as originally posted on The Book Addict's Guide: Wow. I just have to say wow. I was blown away by the last book, but this one was just as intense, thrilling, gripping, grotesque, and enchanting. Since the summary pretty much explains the whole plot, I'll just give a straight review.

I'm not sure if I should praise minds as clever as these for coming up with such gruesome plot lines and ways to kill people, but it's so interesting and just so hard to pull away from. This time it's a combination of a terrorizing murderer out for revenge, made even more dangerous with a religious drive and a knack for technology.

The development of the relationship between Eve and Roarke is growing so nicely. I love how they were two broken people and they are now coming to trust each other and depend on each other. They're really starting to become a unit. I really think Peabody is the most understated character in this series. She's smart, clever, and brings a nice comic relief for Dallas. I also loved learning more about the relationship between Roarke and Summerset and their Irish past. I've been looking forward to learning more about it and this book really digs into it.
