Publisher's summary

A Thriller Award winner, Best Paperback Original Novel.

For three years, Detective Jude Fontaine was kept from the outside world. Held in an underground cell, her only contact was with her sadistic captor, and reading his face was her entire existence. Learning his every line, every movement, and every flicker of thought is what kept her alive.

After her experience with isolation and torture, she is left with a fierce desire for justice—and a heightened ability to interpret the body language of both the living and the dead. Despite colleagues’ doubts about her mental state, she resumes her role at Homicide. Her new partner, Detective Uriah Ashby, doesn’t trust her sanity, and he has a story of his own he’d rather keep hidden. But a killer is on the loose, murdering young women, so the detectives have no choice: they must work together to catch the madman before he strikes again. And no one knows madmen like Jude Fontaine.

Anne never disappoints.

Poignant. Enthralling. Not you typical piece. This author has become one of my top to read. She can take a dark tale and masterfully humanize the most inhuman experiences.

The best book I've read/listened to in a while.

Any additional comments?

I believe that I've found a new author to add to my list of favorites. I really enjoyed this book. It is well written with good character development and a good story. This is actually the best book that I've read in a while.

predictable

Was just ok. Predictable if you read this genre. But I enjoyed the female protagonist.

Interesting plot with some surprises

Enjoyed it overall. Would have liked more background and history of main characters. Felt that Jude's background might have been helpful earlier in the narrative.
