FIRST ONE DEAD BODY...

A prostitute lies strangled in a seedy French Quarter hotel room. Miles away, in a rambling plantation house on the sultry shores of Lake Ponchartrain, popular late-night radio host Dr. Samantha Leeds receives a threatening crank call. All in a day's work for a celebrity. Who would think to link the two?

THEN ANOTHER...

A second hooker's corpse turns up. Samantha's ominous caller persists, along with a mysterious female claiming to be a woman from her past -- a woman who's been dead for years. With Detective Rick Bentz convinced that the serial killer prowling the shadowy streets of New Orleans is somebody close to Samantha, she doesn't dare trust anyone. Especially not Ty Wheeler, her seductive new neighbor who seems to know more about her than a stranger should.

...AND ANOTHER

Somebody has discovered Samantha's darkest secret. Somebody is convinced that lives must be sacrificed to pay for her sins. So far, the victims have been strangers. Prostitutes. But as a cunning, cold-blooded killer grows bolder, Samantha wonders in dread if she will be the next to die....

Very good story; lots of suspense and and intensity. The story kept me guessing as to the identity of the killer and when revealed, came as a surprise. The pacing and surprise twists make this a book that will keep a reader on the edge of their seat waiting for the next sound that goes bump in the night.

Received in the mail today from sharalsbooks as a trade. Thanks. TBR.

I just felt that this book was lacking something. I don't know what, but it wasn't as good as I'd hoped.
