Publisher's summary

A schoolgirl found it on a nature hike. A severed human foot wearing pink nail polish. A gruesome but invaluable clue that leads forensic pathologist Birdy Waterman down a much darker trail - to a dangerous psychopath whose powers of persuasion seem to have no end.

Only by teaming up with sheriff's detective Kendall Stark can Birdy hope to even the odds in a deadly game. It's a fateful decision the killer wants them to make. And it's the only way Birdy and Kendall can find their way to a murderer who's ready to kill again....

Solid Entertainment

I enjoyed the twists in the story and the resolution and reveal. I just thought the story could have ended with more "thunder" or punch. I did enjoy the story.

A bit to juvenile

Mediocre can't see that it was written for adults maybe teens would enjoy it better . I also think it would be better narrated by a woman as most of the caricatures are women

Mediocre at best

Not a particularly compelling story. Comes together at end very quickly out of nowhere with a very out of place sequence. Author really could have made any one of 4 or 5 characters be the bad guy and it would have worked and I still would have thought “huh, that was not so interesting “

Narrator....meh

Story was fine. The narrators inflections reminded me of a man who might have done radio mysteries back in 1930.
I would listed to how he voiced a line and I would think "come on! The (character) wouldn't have said it like that!

Interesting plot

Good narrator. Always good plot with this author. I enjoy the details in his books of the scenes in the Pacific Northwest. Brings me back to my childhood spent there.
