Everyone hoped he had disappeared for good or better yet was dead. No such luck! The Groom was back. Not only does he return to where it all started but The Groom came back for a reason.
Eve didn't think her evening could get any better. She stretched out on a large chair, had popcorn drowned in butter and salt, had the company of her husband and was not on call this evening. At least that is what she thought. She received a call from the Commander telling her to report to East River Park. She knew for the Commander to call it had to be something very hot. Her husband went with her.
Once Eve arrived at the crime scene, she knew things looked too familiar. The victim was a young brunette. Her body was posed in a specific position and showed signs of torture. Carved into her torso was the exact time it took for her to die. In addition, a silver ring was placed on the third finger of the victim's left hand.
Eve was very familiar with the work of The Groom who terrified the city nine years ago with several killings. Eve and her partner could not stop this madman. Now it is getting a little personal. Eve's husband employed this latest victim. There was also other evidence that showed the killer used products on the victim that were sold by a store Eve's husband owns.
Eve now has only one goal in mind. She must find this killer and stop him once and for all. Is Eve able to accomplish this before she becomes the Groom's next victim?
J.D. Robb has written an exciting thriller that will keep the reader on the edge of their seat. One of the best things about this novel is the way the two main characters, Eve and her husband Roarke, complement each other throughout the story. The author does an excellent job of portraying the serial killer and making him seem so real to the reader. If you like cat and mouse type thrillers, this is the book for you. It is well worth the read.
