Book three in this series featuring Beth Katz,the FUN agent with a secret agenda. A thoroughly good story,incorporating some old favourites.

I'm coming to love Beth and Styles almost as much as Kane and Alton. Beth is definitely one of the more complex characters I've ever read. I can't help but root for her. One aspect I really enjoy is the way the two series and characters blend and interact while still standing completely separate. The case this go around kept me guessing. I guessed wrong. I appreciate an author that can surprise readers.

There are a spate of robberies, where the cool and calm robber shoots the customers in the convenience store and takes a young girl hostage and she will later be found dead in a field.
Special Agent Beth Katz and her partner, Dax Styles, are frantically looking for the serial killer before another young girl becomes a victim.

I have to say that Beth is fast becoming one of my favourite investigators.
Paired with Styles, she has learned to hide her psychopathy, and is surprised to find that she has emotions and actually cares about the team that she works with, being Nate, the doctor, and Wolfe, the medical examiner.

This book is dark and gripping, and full of action. I read it in one sitting.

Since it was the third book in the series, I first read the previous two books, to get a sense of who Beth is, and why she is the way she is. I'm so pleased to have done this, as I read a couple of the Jenna Alton series, but not from the beginning, without any background knowledge of her.

Beth is multi talented, smart and devious. She has to be, as she has two sides to her personality.

I highly recommend this book, and this series. I can't wait for the next one!

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this book.
