    • 3/5
      Pretty good, but a little predictible. She uses shock factor to keep you involved in the beginning, which is probably necessary because Irene has had so many struggles to survive that they no longer pack the punch they did in earlier books. Not my favorite Irene, but fairly enjoyable.
    • 4/5
      Synopsis: 'journalist Irene Kelly is part of the investigative team on the hunt for serial killer Nicholas Parrish's many victims. Their graves are in California's Sierra Nevada mountains, and Parrish, having entered a plea bargain, is there too, leading the team to the women's corpses in exchange for a life sentence instead of the death penalty. But Parrish has planned a surprise or two. When a grave explodes, most of the team are killed, Irene flees, and the killer escapes. Back home, Irene continues to work at the behest of Gillian Sayre, the daughter of one victim. Her hunt for Parrish is made considerably easier by his growing obsession with her.'Review: This is a scary book; the bad guy is really bad. However, the ending is a bit questionable and unbelievable.
    • 3/5
      This book won an Edgar but I was thoroughly unimpressed. I didn't care, first of all, for the way the book jumped between first person for Irene Kelley's perspective, and third person for others, such as the psychopathic serial killer of the tale. (Nor did I like the prologue entirely in italics--I don't like how authors use that font to throw a piece of gauze over their prose--pretentious and hard to read.) I thought how the plot unfolded and the way the killer's mind was portrayed was utterly predictable. The one thing I did love was the cadaver dog, Bingle. I found him a lot more memorable and fascinating than the killer, Nicholas Parrish, or Irene Kelly, the heroine of the tale. Unfortunately, there's not enough of him to redeem this 500 page novel.
    • 3/5
      The book had some interesting angles, such as the use of forensic tracking dogs, but I found the behavior of the characters unrealistic. I found myself frequently skimming large portions of the text and, although I did finish the book, it would not make my list of books I would recommend to others--there are far too many other books I would recommend before this one.
    • 4/5
      Burke does a pretty good job of maintaining the suspense of Bones, although I found the Ben Sheridan character more interesting than the protagonist Irene. This is a killer-showing-the-cops-where-the-bodies-are-buried thriller, with the standard turn-around of the villain stalking someone in that group.
      The book is easy to read, and you can hurry through it. There are a couple of twists, some predictable. But the bad guy is creepy enough, and the main characters intriguing enough, that you want to finish the book.
