      I read this book back in 2016 so this is a reread of one of my favorite mystery writers. This is what I wrote in that first review. “Grif has some secrets in his past, and he shares them with Nicole as they get closer, and she shares some secrets as well about her father and her dead husband. It turns out Grif and Nicole have a lot in common. They share more than an obsessive passion to stop this killer before he kills again. If you like a good thriller, that isn't gory, (okay, maybe a little, tiny bit), you need to read this book.” 5 years down the road hasn’t changed my mind about the book or the author The main characters are still well-mannered and full of Southern charm… not counting the killer of course. Barton has created a cast of supportive and capable individuals who we would be glad to have fighting on our side…any day.

      Griffin Powell and Nicole Baxter are hunting a killer again. Theres a hunter and he's toying with victims, he has Nicole in his sights. He's also playing with Nicole and Griffin by feeding them a few clues and teasing them about saving his victims.It's a rollercoaster of a ride and while you do know the murderer the characters don't and you get to see him setting them up occasionally. The romance didn't quite gel with me and I found myself finding it somewhat stretched. Still it was an interesting read.
