[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8993201, member: 508"] I finished [i]Cold Truth[/i] and it was a good read, although the means by which the serial killer was defeated was rather pedestrian. (And his name was Jonathan, too - good thing he doesn't spell it the same way I do!) Now I'm onto another novel by the same author, Mariah Stewart: [i]Acts of Mercy[/i]. It's got an interesting premise: a multimillionaire whose wife and infant son went missing (the wife's body was found much later in a car at the bottom of a ravine, but the child is still missing years later - his car seat was empty) sets up a private investigation company, one which deals with missing persons cases but doesn't charge their clients. Their newest member is a former FBI profiler who quit the bureau seven months ago after constantly seeing the evil side of crazed killers got to be too much for him, and his profiling skills will come in handy as their newest case has them entangled up in a serial killer's spree, whereupon he likes to kill his victims and then pose them as a representative of one of the seven deadly sins. (The first victim was a volunteer at a soup kitchen, slain and propped up against a fence in full view with a massive fast-food cheeseburger stuffed in his mouth: there's gluttony down, then.)
