This book has elements of mystery, suspense and romance. The main plot concerns Mott Grant, Seattle homicide and his working to solve a serial killer of men who used prostitutes. There are other plots continuing through the story. The suspense was handle well and it was hard to put the book down. The plots were not meshed together well and it feels like you are reading different stories. The research on the Seattle area could have been better. The ending was unusual and interesting. It will surprise you.
