Ok but not the best in this series R. Johnson I have read all of the books before this in the series and have to say this is my least favorite. The story line seemed disjointed and not all that compelling to read. Took me a long time to finish. It just stopped at this odd rush at the end with no sense of real ending.

I cant understand why the psycho was so obsessed with the Bibianna woman or why he had to cut her mother's face open because she left him. I thought that was a little extreme along with wanting a woman so badly who clearly is not interested.
