My Thoughts:
Everyone knows the story of Jack the Ripper. This story is about a serial killer that kills in a ripper-like fashion. The killer is escalating and seems to be playing with them. Jill & David (2 doctors) are called in from their vacation to assist where cops cannot seem to make any progress.I really enjoyed this suspense novel. There are so many suspects and they all have different motives. I also loved the little boy (Jill & David's son). He was so adorable and seems to have a gift. If you are a mystery/suspense lover then you will love this book.
