Review: Evil at Heart

Evil at Heart (Gretchen Lowell, #3)Evil at Heart by Chelsea Cain

Summary (from Goodreads): Homicide detective Archie Sheridan has somehow survived the ordeals recounted in Heartsick and Sweetheart and is resting not so comfortably in an Oregon hospital, attempting to cure his addiction to Vicodin and his obsession with serial killer Gretchen Lowell. Meanwhile, “Beauty Killer” Gretchen is still on the run and rapidly becoming an improbable folk hero, complete with fan websites and slay site fan tours. As if all that is not tasteless enough, new murders begin to surface that raise an ominous question: Are these tribute killings by a copycat or is Gretchen back on the prowl?

My Thoughts: Very good. On par with Sweetheart in so far as keeping the reader guessing and being full of suspense. There were surprises, things I just hadn’t seen coming. There was some predictability. Still, it was a wild ride that made me start thinking that maybe I should re-read The Night Season. Now I just have to find the time.

My Rating: 4 stars
