robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2051 more book reviews


Investigative Reporter Maxine Revere believes the missing persons case she is working has ties to serial killer Adam Bachman. Bachman is currently on trial for the kidnapping and attempted murder of a woman in New York City. Evidence of five other murders were found in his apartment. But Max believes that Bachman may have had a partner who kidnapped Jim & Sandy Palazzolo over a year ago. Their bodies were never found. After an intense interview with Bachman and with the help of new intern Riley Butler and bodyguard/assistant David Kane, Max digs into Bachman's past. The clues she finds convinces her that she is right about a second killer. It also puts her in the killer's spotlight.

This is the second book in the Max Revere series. I found this story entertaining, but the convoluted plot had my eyes rolling a couple of times. On the plus side, we got to see Max's ex, FBI Agent Marco Lopez, and her current lover, Detective Nick Santini, working together to rescue Max. I found scenes with these two guys to be riveting. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
