"Another tantalizing continuation of the mystery series surrounding
the lives of Private Investigators Sam and Amelia Slater. This book was
sultry, captivating, and impossible to put down. In this suspenseful
story, a wealthy damsel named Helen Latos has been receiving threatening
messages from an anonymous harasser in regards to her affair with a
married man. The messages contain quotes of Bible verses that state that
adulterers shall be put to death. Seeing as she herself is married
also, the messages leaves Helen feeling like her life is in danger just
as much as her secret lover.
Frightened and
vulnerable, Helen comes to Sam and Amelia for help, but something about
her demeanor puts Amelia off. Despite her situation she is clearly
attracted to Sam, and obviously has no problem seducing married men --
but ultimately her plea for help as well as her offer to pay double for
their services wins them over and they decide to take her offer. As they
begin working on her case, the messages get more personal and include
information about the affair that only someone that is close to the
situation could know about, which complicates things further. Could the
person who is sending these messages be someone that Helen trusts?
As
all of this is taking place, the man who previously stalked and
kidnapped Amelia, Simon Blanco, has escaped from jail. His unhealthy
obsession with Amelia fuels him and he devises a plan to capture
her...and this time, he is determined that nothing will stand in his
way. This time, he is sure he will not be caught, and he will do all the
terrible things to Amelia that he has fantasized about during his time
in prison. Amelia's nightmares about him worsen as she receives news of
his escape and puts her and those around her on edge.
Seeing
this story all come together was riveting. I read the book start to
finish in one sitting; it was just so hard to put down! I love a good
mystery book and Greg Messel's Sam Slater series never disappoints. This
book is amazing even as a standalone. I thoroughly enjoyed it!"
