Genre: murder, mystery
Review: library book

Alex Cross is happy, but his happiness is threatened by a series of chilling murders—murders with a pattern so twisted, it leaves investigators reeling. Cross's ingenious pursuit of the killer produces a suspect: a British diplomat named Geoffrey Shafer.

But proving that Shafer is the murderer becomes a potentially deadly task. As the diplomat engages in a brilliant series of surprising countermoves, in and out of the courtroom, Alex and his fiancée become hopelessly entangled with the most memorable nemesis Alex Cross has ever faced.
I really liked how we got to know the killer from the get-go and then we got to see him spiral out of control. I was amazed at just how much Shafer was able to get away with and even those close to him didn't notice. I never read a story like this one before so it was different and enjoyable. Again the short chapters I feel keep you engaged so you don't just keep wondering when will the next chapter come. I will say the endings always feel the same, but that is what happens I guess when you are hunting down serial killers.

Let me welcome Author Teri Polen for an interview. I read her book Sarah which I got from NetGalley and let me tell you it was actually a really good read.
