From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. The promise shown in Kerley's first book, The Hundredth Man, is borne out in the second in the series featuring Mobile, Ala., PD detectives Carson Ryder and Harry Nautilus. Carson and Harry are the department's psychopathological and sociopathological investigative team, nicknamed Piss-it by the other detectives. When a naked female body buried beneath flowers and surrounded by candles is found in a seedy motel, the crime is weird enough to be assigned to them. More bodies turn up, each accompanied by a tiny but beautiful oil painting. Retired police detective Jacob C. Willow hears of the murder/painting connection and tells Carson he thinks it has something to do with a serial killer case he worked early in his career. That madman, Marsden Hexcamp, has been dead for years, but a peculiar group of collectors specializing in murder memorabilia is keeping his memory alive. Carson is aided once again by his brilliant, homicidal brother, Jeremy, who, though held in a high-security insane asylum, proves instrumental in solving the case. Jeremy is a terrifying character, and we just know he's going to escape someday, at which point Kerley will truly scare the pants off his readers. This one's another winner from a writer moving toward the top of the thriller heap.

The renowned Dick Hill is known for a drawl that he can accelerate to a fever pitch when necessary. For this novel he adds an odd Southern lilt that transports listeners to the bayous. He somehow pronounces words like "word" as "woid" without making it sound like a Brooklyn accent. He gently guides listeners through a convoluted plot involving a deceased serial killer who left behind a collection of prized paintings that show glimpses into his disturbed mind. Hill's renderings of Homicide Detectives Carson Ryder and Harry Nautilus as they work to solve the mystery of who is killing for the art are perfect for the work.
