Journal Entry 1 by Giz-angel from Greenwich, Greater London United Kingdom on Tuesday, March 23, 2010
Investigative psychologist, Megan Rhys, is called in to help the police with the murder of a young mother who has been brutally killed and a pentagram carved in her forehead. While the media-obsessed police chief wants to call it a satanic ritual, Megan keeps an open mind and starts investigating the details of the victim's life - and the lives of the other victims as the murders increase. But then Megan makes a dangerous mistake herself...

My mom, AceofHearts, passed away from breast cancer on September 17, 2013. Aside from being one of the best people I know, she was an avid reader and took immense pleasure in Bookcrossing, her book club, and reading many great books. Unfortunately she didn't get around to reading this book.

We had similar tastes in books and would share them whenever we read something we enjoyed. This book sounds interesting so I'm going to keep it to read.

Journal Entry 5 by HoserLauren at Mississauga, Ontario Canada on Thursday, August 20, 2015
Dr. Megan Rhys is asked to assist the police with a brutal killing that looks like it could be a ritual. As a forensic psychologist, Rhys can help the police determine what kind of person would do this. She tries to look past the pentagram left at the scene and focus on other elements of the crime. The killer strikes again, and things hit very close to home. Can Megan hunt the killer down before he takes someone Megan loves?

The mystery plot on this book is pretty weak. The crime scenes aren't described much beyond the obvious red herring. The police working on the crime are shown more for the stupid conversations they have than if and how they are solving the crime. It felt like the author didn't have a strong handle on how the police try to solve crimes so she glossed over this, made them screw up, and focused on conversations between the characters about how they screwed up.

The ending was deeply disappointing. I was about 15 pages away from the end and nothing had been revealed yet. I wondered how the heck everything was going to wrap up. It didn't, or at least not with any satisfaction. The killer was an unknown that didn't seem to have anything to do with anything. It was a cop-out, which matched the spirit of the rest of the book.

Enjoyed this novel very much. My first Lindsay Ashford and I'll certainly look for more.

The book is getting a bit worse for wear. Treat it with care and it is good for a few more reads.

Enjoy!!
