An invitation written in blood...A madman is stalking women in the city. By the time his victims are found, they've been dismembered with careful precision, their limbs stacked into a gruesome pyramid and completely cleansed of every last drop of blood.
To catch a killer - or die next...
Accustomed to working on the most grisly homicides, detective Frank Quinn#s nerves don't rattle easily. But when the last names of the killer#s victims spell out "Q-u-i-n-n" , the veteran cop feels a chill run down his spine.
Then a fresh victim is linked to the one woman Quinn can't stop desiring.
Hunting down killers is what Quinn does best.
But this time, Quinn is up against a psychopath that will test him a never before... .

I barely made it through this book and obviously it took me a long time. The books description is pretty much precise so I don't want to add too much to it.
I sort of quit counting how many women were killed in this book because after a while the killers MO got literally boring and a repetition of the one before. Also the brief introduction of the victims, how they were killed etc. was the same over and over again. Why the killer addressed Quinn in the first place isn't exactly explained.
Overall the characters were quite shallow. We have Quinn and his ex-girlfriend working the case. While Quinn still has feelings for her she's engaged in a relationship with one obvious suspect that briefly dated one of the victims. The whole thing gets really unprofessional and hardly to imagine that someone from the field stumbles into something like this.
Whatever it is, I didn't like the book at all.
