Fall From Grace
Concealed in the deep shadows of night, a fanatical killer stalks the streets of a quiet Minnesota town.
When Detective Grant Evans moved from Seattle, Washington, to Hope, Minnesota after being injured in a shooting that lost him his partner he was looking for a new start—a simple life in a small town. Partnered with Detective Steve Sullivan, Grant is expecting his most complicated cases would involve robberies or maybe an accidental death. Instead, the first day on the job he is faced with the brutal beating and death of a young woman—a death he soon determines is the third in a string of increasingly violent murders.
Art Historian Maggie Sullivan, the youngest member of the close-knit Sullivan clan, works hard to prove to her four overprotective brothers and her parents that she can be independent and successful at her job in the local university, and more importantly, in her personal life. So, when she discovers her boyfriend cheating on her she decides that maybe she’d be better off on her own.
Until she meets her big brother’s new partner, Grant, and sparks fly.
Tall, dark, and dangerously handsome, Grant is nothing like the man Maggie thought she wanted, and everything she’s trying to convince herself she doesn’t need. What begins as a flirtation quickly deepens into the relationship Maggie has always dreamed of—one that is as filled with love and humor as her parents’. When she is unexpectedly drawn into Grant’s investigation neither Maggie nor Grant think that she will be in danger, or that the killer would set his sights on her.
Time is running out, and together Grant and Steve struggle to stop the serial killer that threatens their town before he strikes again—this time at the woman both men love.

The plot was well thought out
Continuity of the story blotchy and dialogue was a bit choppy and naive. I did something I've never done in all my years of read-skipped 200pgs to get to the end. And unfortunately... was able to follow the ending perfectly without having read to 200pgs. This is distressing.

Way too much telling and not enough showing. There is very little dialogue, and what there is, doesn't move the story forward and often contains cliches. Lots of internal monologues from several perspectives due to 3rd person omniscient pov. There may be a a good story here, but there is too much poor writing to struggle through and find it.

I hadn't read a romance book in awhile so it was a fun change.
