 My name is Dr. Adeline Glen. Due to a genetic condition, I can’t feel pain. I never have. I never will.

The last thing Boston Detective D.D. Warren remembers is walking the crime scene after dark. Then, a creaking floorboard, a low voice crooning in her ear… She is later told she managed to discharge her weapon three times. All she knows is that she is seriously injured, unable to move her left arm, unable to return to work.

My sister is Shana Day, a notorious murderer who first killed at fourteen. Incarcerated for thirty years, she has now murdered more people while in prison than she did as a free woman.

Six weeks later, a second woman is discovered murdered in her own bed, her room containing the same calling cards from the first: a bottle of champagne and a single red rose. The only person who may have seen the killer: Detective D.D. Warren, who still can’t lift her child, load her gun, or recall a single detail from the night that may have cost her everything.

Our father was Harry Day, an infamous serial killer who buried young women beneath the floor of our home. He has been dead for forty years. Except the Rose Killer knows things about my father he shouldn’t. My sister claims she can help catch him. I think just because I can’t feel pain, doesn’t mean my family can’t hurt me.

D.D. may not be back on the job, but she is back on the hunt. Because the Rose Killer isn’t just targeting lone women; he is targeting D.D. And D.D. knows there is only one way to take him down:

Fear nothing.

HUBBY'S REVIEW:

I found this book to interesting and thought provoking. At the very beginning I do think that injuries that the detective receives would probably require more healing than her going back to work. But I can understand the pain that the character was feeling pain wise and also the pain of not being able to hold her child. So she did have a big reason to want to catch the person who not only injured her but also took away her being able to be a mother. The rest of the story I found entertaining and thought provoking. I liked the way the characters interacted with one another and the way the story line came together. For me there was more to this story than just a serial killer it was the way that the mind was being played with also. An outstanding book. I got this book from net galley.
