false <![CDATA[Evil at Heart (Gretchen Lowell, #3)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255578600m/6404582.jpg 6193923 9 Chelsea Cain’s novels featuring Portland detective Archie Sheridan and serial killer Gretchen Lowell have captivated fans through two nail-biting entries, Heartsick and Sweetheart, both of them multiweek bestsellers in The New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly. Gretchen Lowell is still on the loose. These days, she’s more of a cause célèbre than a feared killer, thanks to sensationalist news coverage that has made her a star. Her face graces magazine covers weekly and there have been sightings of her around the world. Most shocking of all, Portland Herald reporter Susan Ward has uncovered a bizarre kind of fan club, which celebrates the number of days she’s been free. Archie Sheridan hunted her for a decade, and after his last ploy to catch her went spectacularly wrong, remains hospitalized months later. When they last spoke, they entered a détente of sorts---Archie agreed not to kill himself if she agreed not to kill anyone else. But when a new body is found accompanied by Gretchen’s trademark heart, all bets are off and Archie is forced back into action. Has the Beauty Killer returned to her gruesome ways, or has the cult surrounding her created a whole new evil? Chelsea Cain continues to deliver heart-stopping thrills and chills in the latest entry in this dynamic bestselling series. 6374360 4 9 2009 Evil at Heart total:348|5:36|4:63|3:64|2:8|1:2| 348 1293 666 143 3 1 false false Thu Jul 30 09:35:00 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 02 13:30:11 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Oct 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 20:13:16 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 20:13:33 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 11:04:24 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 11:21:13 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Sep 20 17:50:38 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 18:01:40 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Sep 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 10:13:02 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 06:17:44 -0700 2009 it was the 3rd book in a series and when it arrived I did wonder if it would be OK as a stand alone read.
