Once Bitten, Twice Dead-----------------------------------mystery novel“. . .I once was lost, now am found. Was blind, but now I see.”--Amazing Grace John Newman (1725-1807)“. . .and Brutus was an honorable man.”--Julius Caesar William Shakespeare Three equals one. If rookie cop, Raven Stolle, can understand this equation, she’ll solve her first three cases. These cases involve the deaths of a butcher, a Wall Street trader, and a fashion designer. Because of department budget cuts, Raven has to go at these puzzles alone. Being orphaned at an early age, she’s accustomed to solo flights, but not with the harassment she gets from her law enforcement peers. Each time Raven seems to be going toward a solution, she runs into a blind alley. She has plenty of suspects, but no linking evidence. During the course of the investigations, the vulnerable and clumsy Raven loses a love, and maybe gains another, before she makes a guilty mistake. To solve her cases, Raven must discover that a killer can hide in plain sight. Once she sees this fact, her pursuit leads her into one of the coldest countries on earth to try to freeze a killer. Here Raven will do her best to herself avoid permanent cold storage.

This book was...different. It rambled and meandered and covered about a decade. I guessed the perp as soon as he was introduced and spent half the book trying to figure out how Raven didn't have a clue.
It seemed to me as if the author just kept rambling and rambling, letting years go by, until s/he decided that the murderer had gotten away with enough. All of a sudden, Raven figures out who it is and why and chases the murderer halfway across the world.
This seemed like a great idea for an entire series, having the detective solve cases while pursuing the elusive suspect through several books over the years. Unfortunately, the author crammed it all into one book.
