About the Book
Three women reach the edge of terror as the secret past they all share
is unearthed and turned against them. . .
It's been five years since the execution of Steven Gage, a devious,
charming psychopath who took the lives of more than a hundred women. In
those five years, three women connected with his case have moved on. His
attorney has rid herself of the stigma of defending Gage. A true-crime
writer has started on a new project after her bestseller about his
rampage. And Steven's ex-girlfriend has made a new life for herself-one
where she won't be reminded that she once shared her home with a
monster. But someone hasn't moved on. On the fifth anniversary of Gage's
execution, each of the three women gets a private message. And the
message is something that only Steven Gage could have known.
At the time of his sentencing, Gage issued a terrifying edict, which all
three women believed was meaningless. As threats against them turn
deadly, the past explodes into the present. And one of them is in the
fight of her life to uncover who really committed those crimes-a killer
who is determined to start up the string of murders right where they
stopped.

The Review
This book would make an awesome movie! That's what I thought throughout all of the twists and turns. Surprisingly original for the genre, I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book. I did find myself wanting to yell at the main character from time to time to stop being so stubborn, but that's only because I became so engrossed in the story. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I discovered how wrong I was, and how Amy Gutman's writing is so much more complex than my own thinking. :) Chilling, thrilling, dazzling and engaging!!! Highly recommended reading!
