This is the second outing for police detective Michael Lambert - another sadistic murderer is doing dastardly things and Michael and his team are on the trail, but this villain is one step ahead all the time. I liked most of the characters, Michael is still enigmatic and his wife is still irritating! The book was a page turner with a great plot, but I just didn't like how it ended, just out of nowhere, no explanations. We will just have to hope there will be a third book in the series so that we can find out what has happened to some of the characters.
