The Southern Strangler is slaughtering his way through the Southeast, leaving a gruesome memento at each crime scenethe prior victim's severed hand. Ambitious TV reporter Whitney Connolly is certain the Southern Strangler is her ticket out of Nashville; she's got a scoop that could break the case. She has no idea how close to this story she really isor what it will cost her. As the killer spirals out of control, everyone involved must face a horrible truththat the purest evil is born of private lies.

This mystery/thriller was just OK for me. It‘s the beginning of a series of 8 featuring Taylor Jackson, a Nashville Metro Homicide Lieutenant. She (with help from her live-in FBI profiler lover) has two cases to solve here…the Rainman serial rapist and the Southern Strangler, a serial killer who leaves his victims‘ bodies in one state, then leaving one of their severed hands in another state with the next body. While there were some twists and 🔻

robinb turns, I found some things that didn‘t ring true/feasible regarding police procedures, and I also felt that the highly emotional elements weren‘t really there (dealing with horrific crimes and their tortured victims). Plus, I never really got a sense of heightened danger for the protagonists or a real sense of impending possible doom. While the writing was fine, I just hoped for more from this one. 3.5/5 ⭐️ #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks (edited) 2y
brittanyreads I weirdly skipped this one but liked her books The Cold room, The Immortals and So Close the Hand of Death. I just realized I kind of started this series with book 4....oops... 2y
robinb @BrittanyReads 🤣🤣 I‘d be willing to try another one. This one wasn‘t horrible, just a little irritating at certain points. Glad to hear you‘ve enjoyed others. 😊 2y

I had high expectations after her other book, Lie to Me.
Yet it was nothing special.

When I picked this up, I couldn't put it down. I thought I knew how it would end, and that disappointed me. How could it be so easy! I was wrong. And I couldn't have been happier! Looking forward to the next book in the series.

MMenefee I started reading this a couple hours ago and can't put it down. Good to know, from your review, my immediate thought on whodunnit is probably incorrect. 7y

Little over halfway through this. Definitely will finish tonight. So far I'm loving it. I'm a huge mystery/thriller fan. Ice cold beer is also something I'm a huge fan of. 🍻📚

So it's pretty much like this book was written with me in mind - solid mystery/thriller ✔️, set in a location I'm really familiar with because I grew up there ✔️, kept me up past my bedtime ✔️. I love how Ellison describes the area and the people. I'm for sure going to get working on the rest of the series. P.S she also has a good Instagram account.

DebinHawaii I love the Taylor Jackson series! 👍📚 8y

Wait just a second! There is a crime/thriller/mystery series set in Nashville?!? A series that combines both my favorite genre and my hometown? Why am I just now learning about this?!?

LauraLeah I'm about an hour and a half from Nashville. 8y
SarahK @LauraLeah I actually grew up in Clarksville but my grandmother lived in Nashville. 8y
