One last case and it's a big one- involving a person known merely as, "The Executioner."
Not quite, the legal case one would hope to become involved with seeing that the prosecutor-Jessica Yardley-is all set for retirement with a new location and all.
However, the body count rises and the ladies are being mutilated with nothing more than a portrait left as a calling card.
Ironically, all this happens at a cabin on Crimson Lake Road-ergo the title for this second in the series by Victor Methos.
In fact, it's a re-enactment from these paintings that the killer is conducting and nobody wants to wait until all scenes have been completed because a second kill has just been found.
Luckily, the second victim survives as Jessica visits her in the hospital to find answers and eventually the friendship turns sour upon noting the gal's boyfriend may be our killer.
Talk about bizarre but as we venture further out we learn there's more than one possible suspect with a possible motive here.
This just meandered around and lost its way too many times for me and I couldn't catch it and bring it back.
While at times it was rock solid there was simply too many other times when it just totally fell apart and I lost interest.
Thank you to Victor, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
