Creepy and twisted fun! I am gobbling up this series too quickly.
I think the author has a good, solid writing style, the characters are realistic and the plot was anything but predictable. After reading two of the books in the Ellie Hatcher series, I can definitely say that I will read the rest of this series, and more from this author. I would recommend that others do the same!
Despite my best efforts at the eleventh hour, this will be my last book read for 2018. So close to the coveted 100 - 2019 is hopefully my year.Also, this was better than the first one which is always a nice surprise.
This is the second book in the Ellie Hatcher series and it is a page turner. A young college girl is murdered in NYC during spring break and Ellie catches the case. Ellie has only recently been promoted to homicide because she solved her father's cold case and there are lots of people who resent her. But her African-American partner does not and is happy to back her plays. But when she starts talking serial killer, even he has to ask if she really knows where she's going. As she starts connectin...
A terrific read ... great plot, tension, detecting, and an interesting group of characters. What more could you ask for in a crime thriller?
Really enjoying the Ellie Hatcher series. Great suspense and satisfying conclusions.
The second in a series of police procedurals starring a female homicide detective. Much more realistic in terms of the main characters actions than the first in the series. Good story, interesting ending.
The second book in the Ellie Hatcher series by Alafair Burke. Hatcher is a detective in New York. An exciting and entertaining crime novel.
UMMM..... I do not think anyone should be reading this book. The whole thing happens over the span of a few days and everything progresses unrealistically fast. The ending was unexpected but made me cringe and it sort of felt like the writer just gave up on finding a more interesting conclusion. The only reason I gave it two stars is because even though it's boring, I like how some of the chapters end in plot twists and it also shifts regularly from the detectives point of view to the murderers

2.5 - 3 🌟Just okay.Ellie looking to find a man that killed a young girl but cutting her hair and taking it with him as a trophy is part of the case that seems to be a pattern with some old cold cases.With her and her new partner they out to find how these cases fit and get the guy.I've predicted a few people. Right towards the end author tricks the readers. Nice.It was just okay wished as the reader that I would have followed the killer a bit more to get that thrill from him as the killer.
