Synopsis

The first victim is attacked in her home. Tied to her bed. Forced to watch every unspeakable act of cruelty—but unable to scream. The second murder is even more twisted. Signed, sealed, and delivered with a message for the police, stuffed in the victim’s throat. A fractured nursery rhyme that ends with a warning: “There will be more.” For detective Jack Murphy, it’s more than a threat. It’s a personal invitation to play. And no one plays rougher than Jack. Especially when the killer’s pawns are the people he loves.

Goodreads review by Tracie

This was quite long and sometimes drawn out but I really enjoyed it. We know who the killer is early on, so it's not such a mystery as it is a look at all these messed up characters. I was glad at some of their fates and annoyed at others. There was a little twist that I thought was very clever abou......more
