Alex McKnight is a retired police officer who still carries a bullet from an on-duty gunshot wound an inch from his heart. His partner was killed, and Alex still feels guilt over his death. Retired to a cabin in the woods, Alex is summoned to the scene of a horrific crime and soon realizes that other murders are occuring that carry the same signature...a red rose...that was left by the man who killed his partner and shot Alex. The only problem is that this man is locked away in prison.

I found this book to be very intriguing, but certain parts were predictable. I didn't figure out who did the crimes, though. It's an award-winning book, and the first in a series featuring Alex McKnight, so I am taking the chance on the second in the series.

Mystery/crime/detective lovers should enjoy this.
