Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

After a long and soul-searching healing process following her last case, homicide investigator Lucinda Pierce is ready to return to active duty. Her first case back involves the death of a young mother, Dr. Kathleen Spencer, whose body was found by her two young daughters, Charley and Ruby, their mother’s face unrecognizable after having been savagely crushed. The cop on the scene is Ted Branson, one of Lucinda’s old flames. More dead bodies emerge, all killed in the same face-smashing manner, turning Lucinda’s murder investigation into a serial-killer panic. Though she started out tentatively, Lucinda finds the work cathartic, helping her regain her confidence and womanhood. But will her emotional growth get her too personally involved in yet another case, so much so that she is put in peril? Fanning’s true-crime writing experience gives the story added verisimilitude, and she has made great strides at tightening her storytelling. She is one to watch. --Mary Frances Wilkens --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Trophy Exchange, July 13, 2008
Diane Fanning's The Trophy Exchange starts off fast and keeps moving. A woman has been killed, the only witness, a three-year old child. The lead detective, Lucinda Pierce, is smart and strong. She's also just back on the job and has demons of her own. She not only has to deal with this horrific case, she has to contend with scars visible to all.

But unlike those who may step back when they first see her, she can't step away from this case, even as it puts her in personal danger.

Fanning has created a flawed and fascinating character that I'll look forward to reading about in books to come.
