I wanted to read this book as I loved the first in this series and had high expectations. I wasn't disappointed and was hooked since the first pages.
i'm not sure if I would be happy to be friend with Jackie Cooks: she's a clever and strong woman but there's plenty of serial killer ready to kill relatives/friends :)
I found this novel less dark than the first book but more complex. The private life of Jackie is quite complicated, she must juggle career, a new born daughter, the older children, and a divorce.
She's a good team player even if not always on the same page with her boss.
I loved the empathy of the author with the victims. There's sadness, there's a lot of questions, and a list of partners who are terrible mate and fathers.
The plot kept me hooked and turning pages, all the twists surprised me and i couldn't guess the culprit.
I read it in one sitting as it's a page turner.
Strongly recommended.
