I think that Chelsea Cain has superb writing abilities and is very thorough and descriptive with her story line, but not so much so that the story drags along and becomes too in depth.

Just as with Heartsick, I thought this book was phenomenal! I didn't think it was possible to be any more twisted than the first book, however, the author has really found her niche in psychological thrillers! He knows he's the only one who can catch her, and in fact, he has a plan to get out from under her thumb once and for all.Ĭhelsea Cain has topped her own bestselling debut thriller with this unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat story. The news of her escape spreads like wildfire, but secretly, he's relieved. Though it should feel like progress, he actually feels worse. Trouble is, Archie can't focus on the new investigation because the Beauty Killer case has exploded: Gretchen Lowell has escaped from prison.Īrchie hadn't seen her in two months he'd moved back in with his family and sworn off visiting her. This body can't be one of Gretchen's-she's in prison-but after help from reporter Susan Ward uncovers the dead woman's identity, it turns into another big case. When the body of a young woman is discovered in Portland's Forest Park, Archie is reminded of the last time they found a body there, more than a decade ago: it turned out to be the Beauty Killer's first victim, and Archie's first case. But the riveting story of Archie and Gretchen was left unfinished, and now Chelsea Cain picks up the tale again. The book spent four weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and garnered rave reviews around the world. With Heartsick, Chelsea Cain took the crime world by storm, introducing two of the most compelling characters in decades: serial killer Gretchen Lowell and her obsessed pursuer Portland Detective Archie Sheridan.
