This book picks up where The Butterfly Garden left off, sort
of. The three musketeers, I mean, FBI agents, from book 1 are still there, and
some of the Butterflies do make an appearance, though they’re not central to
the plot. Instead we meet Priya, a seventeen-year-old whose sister was killed
by a serial killer five years ago. The musketeers have been on the case since
then, but can’t find the creep who keeps killing teenage girls in churches and
laying different flowers around each one. Now it looks like he’s coming back
for Priya, who is anything but fine even five years on. The writing is solid
once again, but I have to knock it down a star for two reasons: the identity of
the serial killer was SO obvious that it was almost insulting (a least make me
question who it might be even once!) and that person’s age changed at least
three times in the book. Late thirty-something, then late forty-something, but if
I do the math he should be early thirties. Pet peeve sure but someone should
have picked that up!
