Publisher's summary

A clandestinely taken photograph of the daughter of one of London's most prominent citizens sets Brodie and Mikaela off on a new case to find out who took the photograph of the now-missing girl.

When the family receives a second photograph of their daughter, who is quite obviously dead, their simple inquiry becomes a murder investigation. But this is no routine investigation as another photograph is received, and another body is found.

As more bodies turn up, and with no known motive, Brodie and Mikaela must confront the fact that the murderer is brilliant, disturbingly talented, and quite possibly insane. What drives this cold-blooded killer to capture the last moments of their victims with such haunting clarity?

Brodie has his own thoughts from years of experience with the Metropolitan Police, while Mikaela has an entirely different take on the murders.

Their inquiries take them from a struggling photographer who takes iconic photos around London and sells them for the stereopticons that have become so popular to a casual photographer on the street with his box camera and into galleries where photo exhibits are shown.

All the while, they are exploring the next step in their relationship.

As the murderer becomes bolder, the photograph of his next victim appears in the Times of London, sparking the prominent families of the city to fear the worst.

Until Brodie receives a photograph of Mikaela…

Too Predictable

This was the 6th book in the series having previously read 1-5. I enjoy having an intelligent adventurer as the main character,Mikaela. However, her inner dialogue is repetitive both across books and within each book and it is getting old. Her conversations, again across and within each book, regardless of the plot and characters are close to identical. Poor old Brodie, and yes I know he is not the protagonist, has no inner dialogue and his conversations are made up of the same descriptions of Makaela’s behavior traits (that he loves but drive him crazy) in every single book - yawn. We learn nothing new about his growing feelings for Makaela except that he wants her all the time & forever. They are not a passionate couple regardless of her curling toes! The plots are basically the same regardless of the book with changes in the characters and conflicts. Will I read book 7? Probably- yes I know I’m hopeless :-)

The Best Yet

Wow! I may have a book hangover for days. This series continues to deliver one amazing story after another, and this latest adventure of Mikaela's and Brodie's is the best one yet. Even better, there are more to come. I can only hope it is sooner than later.
