Ah ha! For once I got you Lisa Jackson! For once I managed to spot your cleverly disguised red herring and didn't fall for it. Okay, so I didn't manage to figure out who the real killer was but I didn't fall for the ploy! And in the process I thoroughly loved this book. Just in the previous book of this series I had asked and begged to find out more backstory to Montoya. And just the very next book, I got exactly what I had asked for. I was so pleased to hear more about this man that it became the best part of the book for me. PLEASE NOTE: BEYOND THIS POINT THERE MAY BE SPOILERS!!

The storyline of the killer, who vaguely resembles the killer we had met a few books previous that disappointed me a bit. The characters were good. Tying it to a character that had been dead for two decades was also very good. Linking all the victims to that one incident was fantastic! And yet I couldn't help but feel the two killers were much too similar. And no explanation was ever given for that. All the way down to the wet suit as a disguise, it was just too much the same for me. The preoccupation with sin and religion was almost exactly the same.

Overall I enjoyed the book very much, but I prefer my serial killers to be at least a little bit unique within the same series.
