Goodreads Synopsis:

At twenty-three and with a notorious case under his belt, Emory Rome has already garnered fame as a talented special agent for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. His career is leapfrogging over his colleagues, but the jumping stops when he's assigned a case he fought to avoid - an eerie murder in  the Smoky Mountain hometown he had abandoned.

The mysterious death of a teen ice-skater once destined for the pros is soon followed by an apparent case of spontaneous human combustion. In a small town brusting with friends and foes, Rome's own secrets lie just beneath the surface. The rush to find the murderer before he strikes again pits him  against artful private investigator Jess Woodard. The PI is handsome, smart and seductive, and he just might be the killer Rome is seeking.

Writing Thoughts:


I loved the writing in this book. It created a vivid image and pulled you into the story. The dialogue was captivating and natural. The pacing of the book was incredible. The author truly has a way with words.

Plot Thoughts:

The plot was a slow burning one. It started off with a bang and just kept that pace, the tension only growing as the case became more involved. I loved the plot. It was really well thought out and honestly I did not know who the killer was. I had no way of guessing and was really surprised to see who it was. I was really impressed with this mystery.

Character Thoughts:

Emory is a very complicated character. I love how we got to know him as the case unfolded. I loved how we got to see some of his flaws and some of his perfections. I really liked the characters in this book, they were real and accessible.

Final Thoughts:

Overall, I really liked this book. It definitely surprised me. I loved the writing, it was smooth and created a vivid image. The plot started out well and just kept getting better. It did unfold slowly but it only added to the suspense. The characters were great and realistic and fun to read about.
