FROM THE COVER:
The first time London police psychiatrist Kit Quinn interviews a homeless sexual predator named Micheal Doll, he slashes her face with a broken mug. Months later, after the emotionally vulnerable Kit is asked to question Doll about the killing of a teenage runaway, she reluctantly concedes his innocence and he walks free. Then another woman is abducted and murdered -- and again the clues lead to Doll. Now, as a seductive and mysterious new lover enters her life, Kit finds Micheal Doll always in the shadows. Outside her doorway. Calling her on the phone. Wanting to have her. Yet, even as Dolls obsession escalates, Kit is gripped with a paralyzing fear that the killer isn't Doll -- but someone close to her heart...
Altho I found this storyline intriguing enough, I thought the writing was somewhat disjointed; choppy; dry. It just didn't grip me as I hoped it would. The concept was undeniably imaginative, with great twists and turns in the plot.....I just felt the execution was lacking.
