STALKED - Brian Freeman

Another book from the Jonathan Stride series :) Have you noticed once I start a series I tend to stick with it until Im caught up?  I can't help myself.  I have a ton of other books i need to read- Including THE PARIS WIFE by Paula McClain for my book club meeting next month - but I just can't seem to get into wanting to read it.  Im too stuck on Duluth (and my Duluth House, and my Duluth Kitchen - I hope the doctor is enjoying it!). Im so ready to head back to the Northland.  S. Florida is just too hot!  Unfortunately no jobs for J at the CG Station, or on the Alder - so looks like its not in the cards for us :(

So I live vicariously through Jonathan Stride.

From Publishers Weekly

In Freeman's chilling, atmospheric latest, Jonathan Stride returns from a Las Vegas stint (in Stripped) to head the major crimes detective bureau of his former Duluth, Minn., department. When the husband of Maggie Bei, Stride's former detective partner, is murdered, Maggie becomes the prime suspect, and Stride determines to clear her. Meanwhile, Dan Erickson, an ambitious Duluth county attorney, hires Stride's lover, PI Serena Dial (who returned with Stride from Vegas), to pay off a blackmailer. Freeman slowly weaves the cases together into a labyrinthine search for a serial killer. Following the anonymous predator as well as the cops, the reader is teased by the fiend's identity and hidden motives. The stalwart, intuitive Stride digs into the case's disparate elements, including the city's sexual underworld, and a terrified Serena runs into serious trouble. A strong narrative crammed with twists and studded with sex and violence; a mysterious, even mystical, sense of place; and a well-crafted set of characters and relationships make this one of Freeman's stronger crime thrillers. (Feb.)
