This book is about a violent serial killer in Philadelphia whose victims are Catholic high school girls who are found murdered with rosary beads wrapped around their hands. Since I was born in Philly and went to Catholic school, I did enjoy all the Philly locations mentioned from Center City to the Far Northeast. The religious details about the rosary and the mention of many Catholic high schools made the book very familiar to me. I found the relationship of Kevin Byrne, a veteran policeman, and Jessica Balzano, a new partner, very interesting. Richard Montanari's research was top-notch and very informative. The murderer was a complete surprise but the ending dragged unnecessarily due to many twists of different suspects. If you are familiar with Philly and enjoy mystery/thrillers, then you will enjoy this book.
