And I love the slowly developing relationship between Archie and the reporter. The next few books have been requested from my library. ( ) I had a lot of hope for this series after the first book, but Sweetheart was ultimately a disappointment. It felt like all the build up from the previous book was squandered. To start with, immature mess of a journalist Susan Ward is back, with her haphazardly presented and articulated 'daddy issues' and ability to screw up at every opportunity. Her story fit better in the narrative this time around but her perspective chapters are just utter drags. Her immaturity is perhaps meant to be a counterpoint to the deeply damaged psyche of Archie Sheridan, but I just found it annoying. After the introduction to the incredibly f*cked up relationship between police officer Archie Sheridan and incarcerated serial killer Gretchen Lowell in the previous book, I wanted more. I didn't get it. Archie's perspective never deepened, despite his physical and mental deterioration, his narrative felt shallow. Ultimately it was a limp but quick thriller, nothing special or unique about it. 5.3/10 Come le cicatrici che porta sul corpo, per Archie Sheridan è indelebile anche il ricordo di chi gliele ha inflitte: Gretchen Lowell, meglio nota come Beauty Killer, la serial killer efferata e bellissima che per anni ha tenuto Archie prigioniero di una crudele girandola di perversità , sadismo e folle attrazione. Torturandolo fin quasi alla morte, eppure stregandolo per sempre. Ma da qualche tempo - se si eccettuano gli incubi, i tranquillanti, e il pensiero di lei che fa ogni tanto capolino - la vita del detective Sheridan sembra tornata sui binari di sempre. Gretchen è in carcere, e Archie è distratto da un nuovo caso. Ma la tregua dura poco. Ben presto una notizia inattesa lo raggiunge: Gretchen è evasa. E, Archie ne è certo, aspetta solo di uccidere ancora. Mentre il desiderio e l'ossessione tornano a impadronirsi di lui, il detective sa di non avere scelta: deve rimettersi sulle tracce della spietata e sfuggente Beauty Killer, capire cosa cerca e dove colpirà . Perché lui è il solo ad aver penetrato la pericolosa psiche di Gretchen. E a provare l'irresistibile, e forse mortale, desiderio di farlo di nuovo. Wow for this second book! This book picked up where the first one left off. There was a little more action, more intrigue, and suspense! Archie Sheridan is still trying to come to grips in his relationship with Gretchen Lowell a/k/a the serial killer as he tries to repair his relationship with his wife at the same time. Things go awry when Gretchen escapes prison and Archie is back out there trying to recapture her. In the meantime, there is Senator Castle who is wrapped up in something that could cost him his career. Susan (the reporter) is trying to work on a murder case of Molly Palmer and Susan thinks the Senator is somehow involved. This is where the intrigue really kicks in as so much is happening all at the same time. There is a lot of puzzles to solve and mysteries to find as the book kicks up a notch all the way to the end. There was a loop thrown near the end of the book that I didn't see coming which kept me glued to my kindle to get the book finished! Chelsea Cain is an amazing author as she just wraps all the mysteries and suspense so tight into one book that I am giving this book five stars! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
