Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Hurricane Katrina's floodwaters failed to wash away evil in bestseller Spindler's grim vision of New Orleans. In the storm's aftermath, police discover a refrigerator stocked with severed right hands, evidence in a string of bizarre murders attributed to The Handyman. A shallow grave containing a hand-less body and the badge of Sammy O'Shay, an NOPD captain shot and killed during the hurricane, convinces Capt. Patti O'Shay that the Handyman is responsible for her husband's death. Meanwhile, exotic dancer Yvette Borger claims to have received cryptic, obsessive love notes signed The Artist, but the NOPD questions her motives and credibility. When O'Shay picks up on similarities between her Handyman and Borger's Artist, the by-the-book captain finds herself bending the rules to get to the heart of the stripper's story. While strong female leads compete for space, overwritten backstory and subplot sometimes drag on the investigation's urgency. Spindler (Cause for Alarm) hints throughout at the killer's psychology, but nothing prepares for the ludicrous diagnosis offered at the end. (Oct.)

From AudioFile
Susan Ericksens concise, well-paced narration blends beautifully with Spindlers grim, empathetic vision of post-Katrina New Orleans in this romantic thriller. The plot twists and turns are replete with numerous red herrings. Ericksen ratchets up the intensity when Patti becomes the prey of The Artist, an obsessive serial killer, and the plot rockets ahead. Voices of individual characters are easily identified as Ericksen uses volume, accents, and tones to provide uniqueness. She imparts real life and energy to the story and easily evokes the speech patterns of the region. The devastated city, fascinating characters, and complex plotting really jell, thanks to Ericksens vivacious reading. S.C.A.
