Summary: Pretty Stupid for a Psychologist
Review: At first I was bored with the "Silence of the Lambs" theme. Then, somehow, I became engaged with PJ and Leo. They did seem like "real" folks...I especially found it refreshing to find a female main character who is not reed thin and actually likes to eat milkshakes, coffeecake and burgers and fries!! But.....was anyone else disturbed at the lack of concern she seemed to have over her home being burgalized and vandalized??? She didn't change the locks? Get a security alarm put in or at least beef up what little security she had (Leo could have helped her there)? I found that highly unrealistic. ANNNNDDDDDD..... she's home all alone after the break-in, and there's a knock on the door. Does she go to the door and ask who is it? No. Does she go to the door and look through the peephole? No. Does she peek out of a curtain? No. What does she do? She stays put and yells, "it's open!"

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Summary: Too many clues so obviously missed by the good guys.

Review: For a first in the series this was a pretty good book. The characters are likable, we all know a cafe owner/waitress like Millie, we all know a sexist cop like Schultz and we know the divorcee-new career-new single parent Mom like PJ. We, if we are lucky, have not met any serial killers like Pauley Mac, The Dog. Although Dr. PJ Gray is supposed to be a computer whiz psychologist and Leo Schultz is supposed to be a 20 year veteran cop, they miss clues that play, dance, hum and hang before their eyes. The killer stands across the counter from them and hums the "Star Spangled Banner" in the same note he did on the crime scene video, and they don't notice. They discuss the case in detail while eating the food he has prepared for them, and considering he lives on a diet of victim's, brains you would think PJ and Leo would be more careful about who cooks for them.
