When a body is found stuffed into a barrel at a garbage dump, covered in long red lacerations, Detective Jenna Alton and her new deputy, David Kane, rush to the scene. Nothing ever happens in the small American town of Black Rock Falls, so Jenna believes the victim must be one of two recent missing persons, and she fears for the life of the other. Both were strangers to the town, but there's nothing else to link them. Jenna knows someone must have seen something, but no one's talking.

The day Matthew turned his back on the strict evangelical community in which he grew up, he lost his family, too. Now he's back, not just to mourn his father at a distance, but to take charge of his first major case in the Two Rivers region; a complex place not quite as idyllic as tourists suppose.

Homicide detective Levi Abrams is barely holding his life together. He’s reeling from the fallout of a fatal shooting, and his relationship with his boyfriend is crumbling. The last thing he’s prepared for is a serial killer stalking the streets of Las Vegas. Or how he keeps getting thrown into the path of annoyingly charming bounty hunter Dominic Russo. Dominic likes his life free of complications. That means no tangling with cops—especially prickly, uptight detectives. But when he stumbles across one of the Seven of Spades’s horrifying crime scenes, he can’t let go, despite Levi’s warnings to stay away. The Seven of Spades is ruthless and always two moves ahead. Worst of all, they’ve taken a dangerously personal interest in Levi and Dominic. Forced to trust each other, the two men race to discover the killer’s identity, revealing hidden truths along the way and sparking a bond neither man expected. But that may not be enough to protect them.

Some call him friend or boss. Some call him husband or dad. Some call him son, even a favorite son. But the only title that matters to him is the one the media has given him: the Poet. A name he earned from the written words he leaves behind after he kills that are as dark and mysterious as the reason he chooses his victims. One word, two, three, a story in a poem, a secret that only Detective Samantha Jazz can solve. Because, he’s writing this story for her.

Narrator so wrong for this genre
- By Avid reader on 09-03-20
Summary
An absolutely gripping crime thriller with nail-biting suspense
The light in her wide brown eyes dimmed as she drew her last breath. She might have been beautiful lying there on the floor, if it wasn’t for the purple marks on her neck and the angry red line on her finger where her wedding band used to be....
When Jeanine Hammond is found dead in a hotel in the picture-perfect town of Oakhurst, newly-promoted Detective Jo Fournier is thrown into a disturbing case. Who would murder this shy, loving wife and leave her body posed like a ballerina?
Jo wants to know why Jeanine’s husband is so controlling about money, and where Jeanine’s wedding ring is, but before she and her team can get close to the truth, another woman is found strangled in a hotel, arms placed gracefully above her head like a dancer.
While digging through old case files, Jo makes a terrifying link to a series of cold cases: each victim bears the same strangulation marks. But the FBI won’t take Jo seriously, and if she disobeys direct orders by investigating the killings outside of her jurisdiction, it will mean the end of the career she’s already sacrificed so much for, even her relationship.
Just as Jo is beginning to lose hope, she finds messages on the victims’ computers that make her question whether these small-town women were hiding big lies. Jo thinks this is the missing link between the victims, but she knows the killer is moments away from selecting his next victim. Will it lead her to the most twisted killer of her career in time, or will another innocent life be lost?
An absolutely brilliant new crime thriller series that fans of Robert Dugoni, Lisa Regan and Melinda Leigh will devour in one sitting.
"That ending! Holy moly I did not see that coming. A twist to end all twists! It was fantastic.... Really look forward to more books in this series. If they are anything like this one, they are all going to be winners!" (Once Upon a Time Book Reviews, five stars)

Good procedural..
Pretty good police procedural involving a serial killer and the internet. The story is entertaining enough but the ending is the best. Each victim has their own part on the book and is fleshed out. Their wants and desires and what led each one to seek companions online.
The antagonist is also fleshed out with all his reasons for committing the murders and the way he leaves the women he's killed.
I will definitely purchase more books in this new series.
Patricia Rodriguez does an excellent job narrating.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Horrible narrator
I really tried to listen to this book. I cannot speak to the writing or the story because I couldn’t get past the narrator’s voice. Her voice is so dramatic it leaves no room for my imagination to take hold. I forced myself to listen, but found my mind drifting away because i felt assaulted by her every word. Her voice is so theatrical. Too much over-acting. Way too forceful. Too bad.

I couldn’t finish this book
First, I want to say that I listen to books with my blind husband all the time, we listen to 2-4 books a week so I am familiar with good readers. This book may have been so much better, but I couldn’t get past the reader “punching” every other word part of the time, and the other part her voice raised at the end of every sentence. She also mispronounced a few of the words. The last few books I’ve read seem to have readers that don’t know how to pronounce certain words, and it’s clear the don’t bother to look them up. This book may be worth reading in print, but I’m honestly not sure. It’s definitely not worth trying to listen to it!

Pretty good ending, mediocre story, annoying narrator
I enjoyed the ending but skipped about two hours of the book to get there. I found the inner monologue of the killer and his interactions with Emily very tedious and unbelievable - especially when read by the narrator. I am not sure if I found the narrator so annoying because the writing and characters were not good or if the narrator made the writing seem worse than it was. I would say save your credit.

It was easy to read and follow; however, it felt very predictable. It took me a while to get through it because it was easy to put down.
