When a local girl falls prey to a sadistic serial killer, Nashville Homicide Lieutenant Taylor Jackson and her lover, FBI profiler Dr. John Baldwin, find themselves in a joint investigation pursuing a vicious murderer. The Southern Strangler is slaughtering his way through the Southeast, leaving a gruesome memento at each crime scene -- the prior victim's severed hand. Ambitious TV reporter Whitney Connolly is certain the Southern Strangler is her ticket out of Nashville, she's got a scoop that could break the case. She has no idea how close this story really is -- or what it will cost her. As the killer spirals out of control, everyone involved must face a horrible truth -- that the purest evil is born of private lies. . more. Get A Copy. Friend Reviews. Reader Q&A.

Nashville Homicide Lieutenant Taylor Jackson is called to the scene of a homicide, where the body of a young woman, and hands, has been discovered. When a hand is found near the crime scene, DNA proves it doesn’t belong to the murdered woman but to another woman, whose body was found in another state. This brings the FBI into play, via Taylor’s lover, profiler Dr. John Baldwin. The Southern Strangler, as the killer comes to be known, goes on a killing spree throughout the South, crossing state lines, leaving the bodies of young women behind, all missing their hands, but with another woman’s hand nearby. And his kills are escalating at a fast rate. Baldwin and Taylor team up to catch him although Taylor gets temporarily sidetracked pursuing a serial rapist named the Rainman while Baldwin travels in the killer’s footsteps. But soon the two are back together, hot on the heels of the killer. As the killer spirals out of control, everyone involved must face a horrible truth -- that the purest evil is born of private lies. Taylor Jackson is not your archetypical Southern Belle. A woman from a wealthy family, she chose the life of a cop over that of a privileged soccer mom. She’s well-educated, intelligent and tough mentally and physically, but her one weakness is Baldwin. The two are a winning combo and their personas complement one another. Peripheral characters are nicely developed, as is the chemistry between Taylor and Baldwin. The plot moves at a fast pace, with gut-wrenching suspense and plenty of action. Ellison’s smart writing places this one apart from other mystery series and is sure to garner a plethora of fans eager for the next book. . more. I am the wrong audience for this book. It's not that Ellison can't craft a good story. She can. However, that story involves a lot of rape and murder, which is not something I find enjoyable to read about. In the course of this book, 9 females are murdered, about 20 are raped - including two 12-year-old twin girls and a 7-year-old girl. It's not that I feel Ellison is writing rape porn.

In the course of this book, 9 females are murdered, about 20 are raped - including two 12-year-old twin girls and a 7-year-old girl. It's not that I feel Ellison is writing rape porn. She writes rape in the correct way - offscreen. And she doesn't go into details. I don't feel like she is glorifying or romanticizing rape (unlike that awful book The Windup Girl or other icky books that are thinly disguised rape porn.) Nevertheless, the fact that there is such a plethora of rapes in this books make me queasy. And everything revolves around the rapes and murders of women. Taylor Jackson, police lieutenant, is a strong female character. She is gutsy and brave and I liked the fact that Ellison lets her handle herself and doesn't make her FBI boyfriend run in and save her all the time. She is fully able to take care of herself and I like that. But then we have this gem about Taylor: The woman loved food, though her metabolism was filled with jet fuel. She could eat anything and never gain a pound. I am completely disturbed and also angered by authors' overwhelming need to not only make their female protagonists thin, but ALSO to reassure us that they eat like a horse, and enjoy junk food, and wolf down ice cream and hamburgers. But are still so thin! Because metabolism! *rolls eyes* Listen, I know exactly 3 women in real life who have an actual metabolism like this. Three. Out of the hundreds and perhaps thousands of women that I know. Yet 95% of heroines in mysteries, romances, paranormal and urban fantasies are blessed with this magical super-metabolism." It's such bullshit. I'm sick of it. If she's a thin woman, there's a 95% chance that she works damn hard for that body. And you are doing no one any favors by perpetuating this myth that the woman can eat whatever her man eats and still weigh 100 pounds, or whatever. Unless she's doing an Olympian's share of exercise, that ain't happenin'. As much as people get annoyed with Susan Silverman for a variety of reasons, I am eternally thankful to Robert B. Parker for making it clear that she often eats only a salad and also goes running everyday in order to be the trim and tiny woman that men admire and lust after. RIP, Parker. You are missed. The mystery is not that good. I figured out who the killer was on page 134 - 32% through the novel. What else? All the pretty ladies |
