Veronica Shade #2
El Aroma del Asesinato (Spanish Edition)
Lo llaman El Creador de Muñecas. Sus víctimas son pintadas para parecer muñecas y son colocadas en posiciones lascivas para que todos las vean.
Dos víctimas y contando.
La detective Verónica Shade no necesita su sexto sentido para saber que el asesino no tiene planes de detenerse. Su retorcida agenda requiere más víctimas, más muñecas.
Pero no es su caso. Y después de lo que sucedió la última vez, todas las miradas están puestas en ella, asegurándose de que haga todo según el libro. Romper siquiera la regla más pequeña podría significar perder su trabajo.
O algo peor.
Pero con un asesino suelto y un oso causando estragos, ¿cómo puede Verónica quedarse quieta y no hacer nada?
No puede.
Una vez más, recurre a su don especial, su sinestesia multimodal, para intentar ayudarla a resolver el caso. Pero su condición ha demostrado ser poco confiable en el pasado, y Verónica pronto comienza a cuestionar si es más un obstáculo que un regalo.
Y actuar por su cuenta la ha colocado directamente en el camino de un asesino en serie en ciernes, que está decidido a convertir a Verónica Shade en su próxima muñeca.*Nueva traducción noviembre 2023*

True story: I used to cut up bodies. No, not for fun, you sickos–for work. After reaching the age of majority and fleeing the clutches of an overprotective mother, I went to university like a good boy.
More than a decade later and an alphabet soup of letters after my name, I found myself looking down the double-chamber of a microscope at an eyeball. Feeling ironically introspective, I decided that it was time for a change.
After seventy plus novels and more than a million copies sold, I’ve found my true calling, one that also includes a plethora of letters. Hopefully you see something in my catalog that you like, something to feast your eyes on.
I also have two spooky podcasts that are appropriate for ALL ages, so long as you like to be scared: P.T. Logan's Five Minutes of Terror and Camp Fear. Both are FREE and available on all podcast platforms. For MATURE audiences, I've created two fiction podcasts, Nightmare Residue and Bad Priest.

This is the 2nd in the series about Detective Veronica Shade. In this one, Veronica is just coming off of a couple months of leave and wants to get back to work with her partner, Freddie. But, they seem to want to assign an easy case to them to make sure she is ready. So she and Freddie have to find out what is going on with 3 separate Jewelry stores robbery s where only watches are taken!
Veronica's boyfriend, Steve is the head of the police department in the small town and he is investigating a murder. A women has been found and, if you know Veronica, she is wanting to get involved in this case even though she shouldn't.
This was a great one and with another surprise ending!! Can't wait to go on to the next.

Great story. I was going back and forth in trying to figure out who had done it. I guessed before we were told but I wasn't 100% sure. I'm still loving the characters but Veronica gets in her own way a lot. Her running off and doing things on her own are not only detrimental to herself but others as well. Crouch the Statie that Steve had worked for in the past was a real piece of work. What the hell is going on with Steve's past???

with each book you become more acquainted with each character.
This book kept me reading all night. I’ve grown to love theses characters. I can’t wait to read the next book. And then the next. That’s rare. I usually get into. About the third book and search for something else. This author has a way of keeping it real.

There are two cases: the watch burglar case with Veronica and the Dollmaker case with the Sheriff Burns even though Veronica insists on sticking her nose into that case as well.
This book series teaches us never to accept a drink from anyone.
Once again the killer’s identity completely shocked me.

What's going on with Veronica and her dad? The sheriff so many secrets, I think I'll need a cheat sheet to keep track of everything.
Can't wait for the next book.

I enjoy this series
Good series. V gets away with more than would normally be allowed but it is still fun. Looking forward to three.

3.5 ⭐ enjoyed getting to know the characters more but didn't like the two side by side story lines.

I really like Veronica. I love her determination and her inner strength. Her multi-modal synesthesia is her 6th sense. While she is dealing with her trauma from the past and thinks she doesn’t have that ability but she definitely does!
This book kept me guessing who the killer could be and it was totally a twisted story and ending. Patrick does a great job making you think you know who it could be and then you find out you were so wrong!
Definitely can’t wait for the next one!
