Rent: Heartsick

By Chelsea Cain

Overview & Description

Portland detective Archie Sheridan spent years tracking Gretchen Lowell, a beautiful and brutal serial killer. In the end, she was the one who caught him…and tortured him…and then let him go. Why did Gretchen spare Archie’s life and then turn herself in? This is the question that keeps him up all night—and the reason why he has visited Gretchen in prison every week since.

Meanwhile, another series of murders is tearing up the Portland streets. Archie seems to be getting closer to solving this high-profile case…until he finds himself in a fatal collision course with the killer—one that inevitably leads him back to his former captor. Gretchen may be the only one who can help do justice. The only thing she can’t do, this time, is save Archie’s life.

Thomas P. writes,

No wasted pages in this one! Fantastic. Would love to follow Archie's attempt to return to 'normalcy.'

Richard A. writes,

A very good mystery that was hard to put down until the very last page.

Sandra H. writes,

Why would anyone want to write a book so violent? And especially a woman?

Thank goodness I only paid $1.50 for this book, because after the first 20 or 30 pages I threw it away. I wouldn't even pass a book this violent onto my book swappers

Do you really want to read about people drinking drain cleaner? Or a cop that has nails pushed through his ribs? I think the story line might be good, but you have to wade through a lot of violence to get it. To me, nothing is worth that.
