Book Description:
In this sequel to Hunter's Way, Dallas Homicide Detectives Tori Hunter and Samantha Kennedy investigate the murder of a Catholic priest who is found naked and strangled to death. A sex scandal threatens to erupt and cover-ups are soon revealed as their only suspect is found shot dead--mere hours after the murder.

Soon details of the murder begin to surface and the secret life of a well-loved priest is exposed. Lies and deceptions unfold as the detectives work to solve the case--even as their superiors demand it be closed.

- Truly Disappointed!
Let me start out by saying that I really love a lot of the work by this author, however, this book was not one them.

The storyline was weak, no development with Tori & Sam's relationship at all. Everything about the book was very vague. The murder itself wasn't even a surprise because you find out right away who did it. It seemed like the objective of this book was for you to find out why it was done. After only reading half of the book I had to put it down, then forced myself to read the rest.

I am not giving up on this writer because she is one of the best in the genre, but this one missed the mark.

- Definitely not her best
The main characters from Gerri Hill's previous book Hunter's Way reappear in this sequel. Homicide detectives Tori Hunter and Samantha Kennedy, who are partners both at work and at home, are still trying to clarify their new relationship when they are called in to investigate a controversial case. A popular priest is found murdered and naked in the rectory and a sex scandal threatens to engulf the Catholic Church and the Dallas political structure. Dead bodies begin to mount up as attempts are made to cover up the story and authorities try to force the police to close a case that really hasn't been solved. The situation becomes more stressful when Tori and Samantha are separated by the department and put in different divisions. The pressure from their professional lives and the disruption to their private lives threatens their relationship. Tori finds herself battling public relations experts, the police department ...

Great, but not as good as the first, Hunters Way.
But it was nice to have a sequel to see where the characters ended up.

- A solid, but not quite excellent sequel
Most of us come to expect some form of excellence from Gerri Hill. I perhaps less so than others, as I am a greater fan of so many other writers.

My expectations were high going into this one as I thoroughly enjoy the character, Hunter from "Hunter's Way."

Indeed, the storyline in this sequel is the opposite of refreshing, at times too twisted to feel realistic, and in many places the author puts too much force into highlighting Hunter's impatience and anger. This alone should have made the novel a disappointment for me. But it wasn't.

Three things make this novel work for me: the author has learned how to let go of the mundane; the relationship between Casey and Marissa is intense; and the ending illustrates superb development of Hunter's character.

I would like to see more of Casey and Marissa as the central figures. I think there is a lot more to Marissa's identity ... Read More
