I'm a fan of all three authors so this novella was enjoyable. I am familiar with all the lead characters but new readers should be intrigued enough to seek other titles featuring these women. It's a creepy, quick read with a satisfying conclusion. Each writer did a great job with continuity. Looking forward to reading their second novella.

The stories revolve around a serial killer who charts a path across the country. Each author's story is presented separately as their respective detectives investigate their cases.
I've wanted to read something by Erica Spindler for quite awhile and now that I have, I'm anxious to start her Stacy Killian series. Her writing is sparse, to the point and quick paced...just how I like police procedurals and mysteries. I also liked Killian and the secondary plot in this segment.
I've read the first book in the Taylor Jackson series and this story has given me the incentive to continue the series. This segment was well crafted and moved the case along very well.
Did we really have to resurrect Nick Morelli? Really? His role was predictable, as inept as ever. Maggie O'Dell doesn't do any profiling here either and, unfortunately, this was the weaker of the three stories but it wasn't bad. I liked the twist at the end.
I'm not normally a fan of multiple authors writing one story arc but this was exceptionally well done, all staying true to their characters and writing styles. I almost skipped this (in the Maggie O'Dell series) and am glad I didn't.

I liked the idea of these three authors banding together with their own characters to write an interconnected story. It was fun.

So I didn't read this in order, I read the Taylor Jackson story, then the Maggie O'Dell one, and then finally the Stacy Killian/The Malones one! So not the right order, but yeah, I really enjoyed reading them all!

I have to say, it had been a while since I had read any Spindler or Kava, and I was not disappointed when I read this. Although it was a very quick read, it was still very exciting. The fast pace kept me from wanting to put it down, and I love how the authors weaves the story around in difference cities. I kind of wish the book had been longer.
Downside: I had a hard time with knowing which author I was reading on the e-book version.
