Product Description:
With Heartsick, Chelsea Cain took the crime world by storm, introducing two of the most compelling characters in decades: serial killer Gretchen Lowell and her obsessed pursuer Portland Detective Archie Sheridan. The book spent four weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and garnered rave reviews around the world. But the riveting story of Archie and Gretchen was left unfinished, and now Chelsea Cain picks up the tale again.
When the body of a young woman is discovered in Portland’s Forest Park, Archie is reminded of the last time they found a body there, more than a decade ago: it turned out to be the Beauty Killer’s very first victim, and Archie’s very first case. This body can't be one of Gretchen's—she’s in prison—but after help from reporter Susan Ward uncovers the dead woman's identity, it turns into another big case. Trouble is, Archie can't focus on the new investigation because the Beauty Killer case has exploded: Gretchen Lowell has escaped from prison.
Archie hadn't seen her in two months; he'd moved back in with his family and sworn off visiting her. Though it should feel like progress, he actually feels worse. The news of her escape spreads like wildfire, but secretly, he's relieved. He knows he's the only one who can catch her, and in fact, he has a plan to get out from under her thumb once and for all.
Chelsea Cain has topped her own bestselling debut thriller with this unputdownable, unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat read.

I have read around 100 pages and just can not get the rhythm going. Again and again I get the feeling that this novel is written by a B class writer. I guess I am used to read the likes of Koontz, King, john and Michael Connolly. I will continue to read and maybe finish it but just don't find it to be the page turner.

I did not like this book nearly as much as I did the 1st, but I liked the very first a lot and it would be hard to compete with her very first book. Still this book is interesting with some more twist and turns. If you enjoyed heartsick then this is a must read.

i read the book in one sitting! The author writes a captivating story. the characters are real and enjoyable. I do not like the grisly type descriptions of murder victims. Rather unneccessary, for instance the opening page describes a victim like this:
"Animals had eaten her face, exposing her eyes and brains to the forces of putrefication. Her nose was gone, revealing the triangular bony notch beneath it; her eye sockets were concave bowls of greasy soaplike fat. The flesh of her neck and ears were blistered and curdled.."
Not what you will like to read while munching on a slice of pizza! However, the story itself presents some interesting twists and turns and is capable of keeping a reader who is not too familiar with the thriller genre guessing. In spite of being able to fairly guess how the story will end, you still keep turning the pages.
I did not read Heartsick before writing this review, because i did not want to be biased. So without comparing it to her very first book i will give it above average. You do not need to have read her very first book either. This book is complete on it's own
Read and enjoy it!

I looked forward to reading this series set in Portland; however, I was put off by the dark and graphical nature of the book. Though I enjoy suspense and mystery, this one is definitely not my sort of fiction. You may enjoy it if strong language and depictions add to your enjoyment of suspense, but I did not.
