Just got my book from the library. Can't wait to read it.
Just checked my copy out as well. Looking forward to reading it!
I've got the e-book on hold, but I also have the trilogy as paperbacks. I'm in.

I think this one is waiting for me at the library; I ordered all three at once, but they didn't come in in order...

I just started it this evening.
Finished it! Liked it!
I'm sidetracked with Little League Baseball Playoffs. My daughter drafted me to do scoring and now I have to actually watch the games.

The murder of eighteen-year-old Angie Vance was exceptionally vile–her mouth was sealed with glue, an obscenity was scrawled across her skin, and she was suffocated in a garbage bag. The killing seems personal, so police detective Carina Kincaid focuses her efforts on the victim’s much older ex-boyfriend, Steve Thomas. But without physical evidence, Carina can’t make a collar or a case. She also can’t stop Sheriff Nick Thomas, the prime suspect’s brother, from conducting his own unwelcome investigation.
Though Nick is still scarred and unsteady from a recent confrontation with a serial killer, he’s determined to prove his brother’s innocence. But his confidence is shaken when he learns of Steve’s dark side, and when a friend of the murdered girl meets a similarly gruesome fate. With no time to lose, Carina and Nick work together to trap a psychopath, before another unlucky woman faces an unspeakable end.
