Devoted in Death

Lots of procedural work in this installment, not much focus on character development. Interesting choice to give the reader the identity of the serial killers right off the bat, and then watch how Dallas and Co. catch up. I'm giving it 4 stars for two reasons: 1) I liked the Southern police deputy who shows up unexpectedly to offer his assistance (wouldn't mind seeing more of him somehow) and 2) there is only one slight mention of Mavis and baby Bella (I find them extraneous to most of the plots).
