Description

Detective Archie Sheridan just has to get through the next few days, then his birthday and Halloween will be over. But with escaped serial killer Gretchen Lowell on the loose, the investigation into the murder of a DEA agent demanding his attention, and journalist Susan Ward showing up at his apartment needing a favor, it's going to be a long weekend.

Soon Archie finds himself crashing a masked ball on a private island owned by Jack Reynolds, a notorious local drug kingpin. By morning, Archie is back on pain killers, a guest is dead and Archie quickly realizes that little is what it seems. One thing is clear: Gretchen is back, and Archie's nemesis and sometimes lover has something special in mind for the birthday boy, something she's been planning for a long, long time. On Halloween Eve, with time running out, and the life of someone close to Archie on the line, Archie knows his only chance is to give Gretchen exactly what she wants. But Gretchen will prove more horrifying, and unpredictable, than Archie could ever imagine.

Back with her most thrilling novel yet, Chelsea Cain delivers the pinnacle of what fans of this series have come to expect: sex, murder, twists, dark wit, and some of the best characters in the genre.

This read is ridiculous. There are so many talented writers out there worthy of being published that it's astonishing to me that Cain made it all the way through the briar patch of agents, editors, and publishers. The last third of the book is rushed, hectic, screwy, and implausible. None of the characters elicit any compassion whatsoever from the reader. In fact, I was hoping that Cain would put the protagonist out of his misery at the finish line, but apparently she was too busy riding the roller coaster of best seller success to take the time to give any member of the cast more than a one dimensional wink.
