When she learns of a string of bizarre murders in New Mexico, Rachel quickly realizes this is no ordinary killer. In a race against time, Rachel must quickly figure out who is luring these victims out to the desert—and why.

Ratings and reviews

At last, Rachel has come clean with her husband and her partner regarding her health, however, she did not tell them about the severe headaches and occasional loss of sight. She goes on the hunt for a serial killer in New Mexico who is exposing his victims over stones in the desert. It is difficult to find a link among them, and the ones pursued are dead-ends. Besides her work and health problems, Rachel has to face her grandmother's cancer and the fact that she has been told about Rachel's health. The story and the plot are really good and entertaining, and so much unexpected information is being told providing a rather good ending. The reason why I only rated this book with 4 stars is I found the question of Rachel's health and indecision in making it public - including to her daughter - too repetitive. I received a free copy of this book as a member of the author's ARC team, and this is my honest opinion.

Rachel has the ability to go within the serial killer mind, that has made a name for herself. A case in New Mexico will it be her last. It is now personal, she alone knows the time frame that she has now. It is a chilling tension plot, that has an outstanding character in Rachel. A must read for fans of the author. ARC for my Give ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

As much as I love Rachel Gift, this was not one of my favorite books. Although they catch the perpetrator in the end, I was never itching to know the identity or why they were doing the killing. The answers left me feeling flat this time! But no matter, Rachel is still one of my favorite characters and I was pleased that she unburdened herself of her secret in this installment. Hoping that the next book will re-engage me with the who and why of the antagonist, and that Rachel’s life will continue to unfold.
