FBI profiler Maggie O'Dell returns in a sequel that is far from uplifting. The story opens with serial killer Albert Stucky escaping from poorly managed prison guards, leading to an escalation of violence, particularly against women. O'Dell, still haunted by her past encounters with Stucky, is eager to re-engage with the case. However, her new home quickly becomes a scene of horror when a neighbor disappears, leaving behind a gruesome scene, and another is found dead in a Dumpster. As Stucky's threats draw closer, the narrative unfolds with predictable brutality. The supporting characters feel like mere stereotypes, lacking depth, which diminishes the emotional stakes of O'Dell's struggle against Stucky. Her misery is palpable, making it difficult for readers to invest in the outcome of their confrontation. The prose is clichéd, with moments that feel overly dramatic and unoriginal, leading to a sense of fatigue for the audience. While Kava's first book featuring O'Dell received acclaim, this sequel may not attract new readers, despite an extensive promotional campaign aimed at fans.
