The Grave Artist - gripping, gratifying gorefest

 The villain maketh the thriller and no one embodies that in a tale as much as Jeffrey Deaver. With Isabella Maldonado providing the procedural explorations and forays into technology, the author duo wield a tale of suspense, serial killing and, in true Deaver fashion, twist at the end!

This is the second book in the Sanchez and Heron saga, bit can be read as a standalone.

The storyline follows the honeymoon killer, a redemption arc for Sanchez's father, Heron's nemesis Tristan Kane, and their own fledgling department under bureaucratic turmoil.. if these themes aren't enough, I am not sure what will suffice!!!

The romance between the partners is stilted but the book lays a foundation for the next tale in the series. Its a quick read but I did live the depiction of Damon Garr.. brilliant!!


Thank you to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for the arc, I cannot wait for more!!!
