FBI special agent Clarke Sinclair doesn't give up easily. She has spent years tracking serial killer Simon Cross, forced to follow his twisted clues and photographs across the country. Clarke knows that Cross selects only redheaded women and that he doesn't target another victim until Clarke discovers the previous one. He has never broken the pattern, until now. A girl has already gone missing in upstate New York when a second is kidnapped, a blond. The killer's MO has changed, sending Clarke back to the drawing board.

Serial Killer Plays Games With FBI Agents
The story has been told many times. Sam and Clarke (girl not boy) are on the hunt for a serial killer who kidnaps and murders red-headed females. Until now. This last one is blonde and the FBI agents are certain he still has the last red-head who has not been found. He has broken his pattern. Yes, he. They know who he is - Simon.
Sounds captivating right? Not so much. I was sick of hearing Clarke's inner thoughts and flashbacks before I got through half of the book. It was hard soldiering on to finish, because the Clarke parts never end. The backstory with Adelaide and Simon were a lot better and kept my interest as to what would finally happen. Except the author was trying too hard to put those “I never saw it coming” moments in. No spoilers but there were too many solutions that never had a build up or foreshadow to make any sense except for the want of a twist ending. It fell flat for me.
