My Review:
Going in I wasn't sure what to expect. Two identical women killed in identical ways 108 years apart. Was it supernatural somehow? Was there a connection? What a I found was a solid mystery with a hefty supply of motives and no shortage of suspects.At 18, Aimee is no innocent and doesn't care who she hurts on the way to what she wants. I thought I had solved both mysteries a number of times only to be proven wrong. This was a super fast read and I really liked getting to know both Maggie Savage and McCabe. They're intelligent and flawed (especially McCabe) characters but don't let their problems affect the investigation. My only negative with this book was that the end wrapped up almost too quickly and seemed a little out of left field. Despite that it was a satisfying mystery and I'm really looking forward to my next McCabe and Savage book.
About James Hayman
It sounds like it could keep me turning the pages!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... Sounds like a super interesting premise. It screams supernatural for me as well. But I'm guessing it is not. Just a copy cat? Hmmm....
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!

Wow , 108 years apart!! This book sounds intriguing, I will have to put this on my TBR shelf. Great review thanks:)
ReplyDeleteI've read another of this author's books and enjoyed it. I haven't read this one yet though. It sounds like a solid mystery.
ReplyDeleteInteresting premise, I was wondering about a supernatural angle also. I like that the author kept you guessing.
ReplyDeleteOhh interesting premise! Love that it kept you guessing, I always feel a bit cheated by a left of field ending though. Still I'm curious about the connection, going to add it to the tbr.
ReplyDeleteOh this sounds really great! I am reviewing this on September 16th. I can't wait to read it now!
ReplyDeleteI bought this one on a whim recently. I was intrigued by the similar crimes so many years apart. Glad you liked it, though those endings that come out of nowhere are a bit annoying.
