Today for Mystery Monday,
I've got another great mystery to round out your Summer reading!
Synopsis;
Someone’s watching...
Zoe McCabe is a beautiful young actress on the verge of stardom who has been basking in the standing ovations and rave reviews she’s been getting from critics and fans alike for her portrayal of Desdemona in an off-Broadway production of Othello. As she takes her final bows, Zoe has no idea that, seated in the audience, a man has been studying her night after night, performance after performance. A man whose carefully crafted plans are for the young actress to take a starring role in a far deadlier production he has created just for her.
Portland, Maine detectives Mike McCabe and Maggie Savage are settling into the new rhythm of their relationship when McCabe gets a late night call from his brother Bobby that Zoe, McCabe's favorite niece and Bobby’s daughter, has suddenly disappeared. The NYPD is certain Zoe's abduction is the work of the man the tabloids have dubbed “The Star Struck Strangler,” a killer who has been kidnapping, abusing and finally strangling one beautiful young performer after another. Bobby begs McCabe to return to the New York City crime beat he’d left behind so many years ago, to work his old connections, and to help find Zoe before her time runs out. The stakes for McCabe and Savage have never been higher. Or more personal. And suddenly the race is on to stop a vicious attacker, before the McCabe family is torn apart beyond repair.
Review:
You might need to put aside common sense (NYPD letting family member ve involved in a missing person, possible homicide inquiry, no matter what agency they work for), but hold on to your proverbial hats after that, as this latest book form Hayman is another roller coaster of a read! You'll be reading this one non-stop until you reach the thrilling conclusion! Once again McCabe and Savage make an awesome team, as they race against hope, to save Zoe. For fans of the series, this book heralds some changes about to happen, and closes doors on some from previous books. Whiel it is a stand alone book, for those who love the series, it's a must read!
