Homicide Detective Lucinda Pierce is called to a gruesome scene where a young boy's parents have been murdered. Only the boy then tells her it is not his father - his father is immortal and staged his death. As she investigates she finds dark secrets and a psychopathic killer.

I have liked Diane Fanning's true crime books that I have read and was interested in how well she witches to fiction. I was very satisfied. Lucinda is a believable and interesting character with lots of strength, smarts and grit. She is also able to twist the story and keep you riding along.

2.5 stars. Her endings are always so abrupt.

[Elaine Shuman · Rating 2 out of 5]

Some of the characters were outrageously mean and didn’t seem true to life. Also some characters reacted so negatively to the main character’s face it seemed over the top.

This is a fantastic series featuring Lt. Lucinda Pierce of the homicide department. She is a tough, don't mess with me woman who is severly disfigured when we meet her in the first book. Fanning has really developed Lucinda's character and you can't help but fall in love with her because under that tough, bitchy exterior is a woman with the heart of ten people who just wants justice and her life back to what it was before.
A must read for anyone who loves a roller coaster mystery!
