Cruel Intent by J.A. Jance
4.0
This is the fourth book in the Ali Reynolds series. I wasn't too crazy for the first two books but the third caught my attention and I am now looking forward to reading this which comes out in December.
Update: I finished this the other day and enjoyed it quite a bit. The characters are becoming more interesting and I will continue to follow the series to find out what happens to them, which is a good thing (although I still prefer the Beaumont books). This is more of a thriller than a mystery, which means that the killer is known from the start and what follows is a cat and mouse game to see how he is caught. You just know that Ali will be cornered by him, which of course is what happens, but how she gets out of it kept me on the edge of my seat. My only gripe is that the ending seemed to go on for longer than necessary but it did resolve some of the personal issues that happened in the story.
