Kieran Finnegan, a criminal psychologist, has been asked by her
partners to interview the Fireman, a serial killer. The question is
whether he’s insane or sane and evil. Kieran isn’t sure. He says
he hears voices telling him to kill his victims, but is he faking?
Craig Frasier, an
FBI agent and Kieran’s fiancee, is called to the scene of a murder,
shortly after Kieran interviews the Fireman. The crime has all the
earmarks of the Fireman, and he’s escaped from Riker’s Island,
but has he had time to do the killing?
The Fireman contacts
Keiran asking for help because he believes she’s good. Craig
doesn’t want her anywhere near the killer, but when has anyone been
able to stop Kieran?
This is a well done
police procedural with lots of action and twists. The author gives
plenty of clues, but still the ending was a surprise.
The characters are
one of the best parts of the book. Kieran is a feisty redhead who
lives up to reputation for getting involved in Craig’s cases. Craig
is the perfect handsome hero who wants to protect Kieran, but knows
that he can’t control her.
Kieran’s family
runs Finnegan’s Pub. The scenes with Kieran and her brothers are
some of the most delightful in the book. The family scenes keep the
book from become bogged down in the horror of the killings.
I received this book
from Harlequin for this review.
