KILLER HEAT

Alexandra Cooper, head of the Manhattan District Attourney's Sex Crimes Unit, doesn't have a minute to savor her hard-fought victory in a 35-year-old rape case because it seems that a new serial killer is on the loose. Alex, along with her cop buddies, Mercer and Mike Chapman, are in the thick of it all as they race to find the killer before he takes another victim. This time, they are exploring some of the abandoned military facilities and islands in the New York City area. Alex's love life seems to be looking up, too, that is if she had time for a love life!

Linda Fairstein is one of my favorite authors and I devour each Alex Cooper novel as soon as it becomes available. I wasn't disappointed this time either! As usual, there is plenty of suspense and just enough details of the main characters' personal lives to keep things interesting. I keep hoping for a romance between Alex and Mike but that is going to have to be in the next book or two because it wasn't here. This book has a great plot but probably has fewer personal details than usual about Alex and her buddies. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, though!

Rating - 5 stars
