[Left To Die] by Lisa Jackson
Alvarez & Pescoli series Book #1
4★
One by one, the victims are carefully captured, toyed with, then subjected to a slow and agonizing death. Piece by piece, his exquisite plan takes shape. The police can't yet see the beauty in his work--but soon, very soon, they will. In the lonely woods around Grizzly Point, Montana, four bodies have been discovered. Detectives Selena Alvarez and Regan Pescoli have been hoping for a career-making case, but this is a nightmare. Even with the FBI involved, Selena and Regan have nothing to go on but a killer's cryptic notes, and the unsettling knowledge that there is much worse to come. I have been a fan of Lisa Jackson's writing for years. I read this book when it first came out but remembered very little of the actual plot...so I was very much looking forward to becoming reacquainted with the two detectives when I drew this for my Blind Date With A Book. The only complaint I had with the book was that the ending had a feel of being unfinished...but that's how the next book is sold. Like all of Lisa Jackson's books it's an engrossing mystery with a good plot that leaves the reader waiting for the next one.
