Santa Rosa, California, is a growing city that still has a small town feel — which is why it's so shocking when a young woman is found strangled to death in a popular park, just two years after two other young women were found in similar circumstances in the same park. Detective Eddie Mahler and his team in SRPD's Violent Crime Investigations department think the three murders are connected, and Mahler is convinced he knows who did it. Mahler's employees, however, aren't quite as sure, and using their various methodology, they're determined to get the right guy.
This is the very definition of a police procedural, as it felt like I was reading an episode of Criminal Minds, complete with the jaded leader who's haunted by "the one who got away," the unsure new blonde detective from the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, the guy who remembers everything about every crime they've ever investigated, and the snacking computer genius. The only thing missing was Shemar Moore, and man, what a guy to skip over! Seriously though, there wasn't anything particularly *wrong* with this book, there just wasn't much that made it stand out for me either. So read it if you're a fan of Criminal Minds or any of the Law & Order shows, I guess.
