Series: Kali O'Brien # 5
Dwayne Davis who was convicted as The Bayside Strangler (in 2 of the
5 cases) was recently executed.

Then Anne Bailey was found murdered. She had worked in the DA's office with Kali O'Brien on the Bayside Strangler case. Kali finds out her friend has been killed and notifies Owen Nelson, DA and candidate for governor, about the slaying. Both Kali and Anne had worked with Owen on this case. Kali is concerned because there are things about Anne's death that are similar to the Bayside Strangler murders.

Owen is concerned that publicity of this could kill his run for governor. So he asks Kali to come back to his office and discreetly assist the detectives on this case.

When there are more murders, the press finally makes the connection and it can no longer be kept quiet. Kali assists the 2 detectives and ends up in danger herself. She is uncertain of who the dangerous one is. She starts accusing those closest to her.

I always like this series. This author is one of my favorites. She has another series as well with a suburban housewife as an amateur sleuth that I love.

I was a little hesitant to read this book as I was afraid it would be filled with gruesome details and be a scary read. That is not the case. The information is presented in a way that you know the danger and type of killing, but it is not dwelled upon.

I recommend this book and both of her series.
