Review: very good serial killer novel
Rating: 4 out of 5

It's intense.  My shoulders were hunched most of the time I was reading it.  But the thrills were worth it.  It's about a con woman/thief who accidentally burglarizes the house of a serial killer.  He comes home while she's there and then the real action starts.  In his sick mind, she is the one who got away so he must kill her.  And the people she cares about.Delilah is an interesting new character.  She's not only a crook; she's a mother who gave up her child and never sees other friends and family because she is unable to connect to anybody.  Yet somehow she's sympathetic and I wanted her to be okay-she gets run through the mill in this one.  Would like to see more back story about her-there were hints about her past and how she became what she is but not enough to completely understand her.  And I would have really liked to see more of the Sam character, a burnt out detective who comes slightly re-alive after he meets Delilah in a bar, but is never fully involved.  He was so human and likeable.Hopefully there will be more of both these character's stories.  From the author notes there is more Delilah coming in 2012.  Can't wait!
