A murderer is on the loose-killing real estate agents, who show him empty million dollar homes. The main character Gwen is working for one agency, her and her friend happened to be checking out a million dollar home that Gwen just snagged the listing for. While looking throughout the house they stumble upon horror; a murder victim in the master suite-naked. After this Gwen's husband is begging her to take time off, but she is refusing- money is needed, and she loves her job. The murderer keeps insisting that this house belongs to him, and his "sister" is the one who has to pay, this other woman are just baggage that he is taking care of- a public duty. Throughout the book we learn about more woman found dead, and how Gwen and her husband have been pulling apart, a marriage that is about to end. Toward the end of the book we learn the identity of the murderer, and i was surprised by who it is, but just seemed to lack that punch power- the ending seemed rushed at this point- the murderer has Gwen held up in the basement, her husband now aware of his missing wife goes on the hunt and manages to run right into the murderer- then follows him, but somehow loses him. While he suddenly gets a call from a cop friend, they found Gwen's e-card (something real estate agents use to have access to the show homes). Gwen husband now rushes over to that house- sneaks in through an open window and surprise surprise hears Gwen and the murders voice. After a quick struggle he is arrested and they begin to fix their lives.
I felt that during the book their should have been more something- I'm not sure. Just felt that this book lacked that power punch that so many other thriller's give us.
Read for yourself and let me know your thoughts!
