The relationship between Olivia and Will is not only professional - but what it exactly is, is still to be seen. Will has some interesting ways about him that makes him difficult to understand, especially considering his doctorate in psychology. One facet becomes clearer and explains the title of the book later on in the story.The Christian faith runs like a red thread through the story. Not only between Olivia, a believer, and Will, not sure what to think of God, but also very strongly with the killer:I understand the need for reconciliation and the significance of theSacrifice, which makes reconciliation possible.But why did he specifically kill these two people? And even more up close and personal, why did he kill Juarez, one of Olivia's team? What can Will make of it, taking on the role of the killer?As the killer seeks contact after every kill, Olivia waits her turn to contact him and deal with him her own way. Will she succeed in keeping herself safe and bring in the killer alive?This book evolves around  the concept of reconciliation and sacrifice and how faith is interpreted by different people leading to different acts. The relationship between Olivia and Will is the second thread in the story and ends with a nice cliff hanger.Overall an interesting and enjoyable read, especially for a first book!
