The mystery took a more prominent place in this novel and I was glad for it. Yes, few romantic moments were inter-spaced too but for me the mystery managed to take over for me.

The story itself was intriguing and until I reached the 85% I really couldn't guess the real murderer but the moment Josie got the last message it kind of made sense. The author did a good job in keeping up the suspense. I would not call the book gory but it was not completely undetailed either. All in all it was a good book to pass time reading.

For those who have read the first book All the Pretty Brides, will recall that Josie DuKane ended up as the last potential victim but managed to escape from Billy Linder. She was also at the time a budding writer who had come to write about The Thorn Killer murders that happened thirty years ago. In doing so, secrets were unraveled, and the actual killer was found out along with a new copycat killer. Now the book is being made into a movie set right in the heart of Graveyard Falls, and again people aren't happy that the movie will be sensationalizing their loss of loved ones. What will happen though when it looks like a new serial killer is in town killing those who are here to try out for the movie? For one of the deputies Dane Hamrick, the MO hits a little close to home as ten years ago his sister Betsy was murdered in the same fashion as the girls are today in Graveyard Falls. Is it the same killer or a copycat? Can Dane along with Josie's help solve not only the murders that are happening currently in Graveyard Falls and stop more actresses from dying but will he be able to put Betsy's cold case to rest and give his family some closure? I have to admit that this particular one was a lot slower than Book #1 and harder to get into as parts of the story seemed to drag, and I felt like the author had tried too hard with all the various suspects and multiple storylines that though they all threaded together, in parts seemed too much for the one story. Overall, however, All the Pretty Faces by Rita Herron was another good small town mystery and perfect for those fans of Kendra Elliot and Melinda Leigh.

In this one, Special Agent Dane Hamrick teams up with Josie DuKane in order to catch the notorious Bride Killer. Josie narrowly escaped this killer and has written a tell-all memoir. When another murder occurs, Dane becomes involved. He realizes that his sister's unsolved murder bears an eerie resemblance to this latest murder, and is determined to bring the killer to justice.

This is a strong suspense with a little romance running through the story. I look forward to more in the series!
