Wow! Wow! Wow! If you like thrillers about serial killers this one is great!

My first by Pobi but not the last, so well written I had no idea who the killer was and still didn't have a clue until the very very end! Just the way I like a book!

This one gets five stars. One of my new favorite authors. Grisly is a word that described portions of this book. Thrilling, exciting, gritty and bloody. Very hard to put down once you start reading. I highly recommend this book if you like serial killer books. If you're looking for a cozy, this isn't it. Be prepared to be chilled to the bone. Wow, what a ride.

New York City homicide detectives Alexandra Hemmingway and Jon Phelps encounter a sadistic serial killer during a summer heat wave.
Hemingway is a woman who has just found out she's pregnant. She's also learning to live without a former lover who was murdered. At her side at all times is Detective Phelps.. a father figure and mentor.
The case they are working is terrifying. There are multiple child abductions and a psychopath who has a thing for removing appendages of his young victims.
I really liked the characters .. they are gritty and they are real. This is a real page-turner which will keep you reading until you're afraid to turn off the lights.
(RIVER OF THE DEAD and AMERICAN WOMAN are the same book)
