Resumen del Editor

Death is one heartbeat away when your stalker is a serial killer.

The heart-stopping sequel to You Did This.

Police detective Claire Wolfe has a secret admirer. But instead of sending flowers, this twisted psychopath murders wealthy, young women...and leaves gruesome messages for Claire on their mutilated corpses.

To decode her stalker's obsession, Claire teams up with her lover, Special Agent Robert Cline, FBI forensic profiler Dr. Sally Fleischer, and a pretty new detective with secrets of her own.

But there's more to this stalker than meets the eye. The murderer has powerful friends, and they all want a piece of Claire. With a serial killer watching her every move in this lethal game of cat and mouse, Claire must tear open old wounds and expose deadly family secrets. And her poisonous mother isn't making her life any easier.

In this gripping psychological thriller and police procedural pause-resister, the race to save the next girl leads Claire to a startling revelation. Is the stalker trying to win her heart - or destroy her, body and soul?

Get it now.

Good but not great, not as surprising as 1st book. I think too many characters

Uneven Descriptions

I like the plot. A lot. Found it to be complex and to have a lot of interesting and unpredictable twists and turns. However, I’m unclear as to why every time a character is not white, we need a reference to their color/ethnicity.

For example, the “Black woman called her name twice.” A “Latino with a well-trimmed goatee.” “The campaign poster and the young middle eastern woman who promised to drain the swamp.” To name a few.

I noticed the same issue in the first book in this series. I honestly enjoyed that too, and hoped it was an aberration. Evidently not. Admittedly, maybe because I’m an African-American woman I’m more sensitive to the issue. Just thought I’d point it out because it takes away from the story and I hope that this won’t be a staple in future novels from this writer.

Misogynistic violence : snuff film level

Warning—the most woman hating crime scenes and scenarios I’ve ever heard. High body count. All this juxtaposed with saccharine sweet ending. I was really happy the first book didn’t have any cruel imagery about women’s bodies and then a wrong turn toward extreme objectification and violence in this one. The author must hate women with “lingerie model” bodies with large breasts. The violence is so disgusting. I honestly would expect better from a female writer. This is the central part of the plot. Why do writers have to so blatantly showcase the torture of female bodies? It’s absolutely sick. Isn’t there enough sexual uses violence against women in the world already? In the end it’s just the bad novel scenario with every good character neatly paired off with the love of their life and all other relationships resolved. I pray there will never be a visual adaptation of this because this is the stuff of multiple snuff films. Sickening.
