The Cold Room (Taylor Jackson Novels)
The blurb:
Homicide detective Taylor Jackson thinks she's seen it all in Nashville -- but she's never seen anything as perverse as The Conductor. Once his victim is captured, he contains her in a glass coffin, slowly starving her to death. Only then does he give in to his attraction.
Later, he creatively disposes of the body by reenacting scenes from famous paintings. Strangely, similar macabre works are being displayed in Europe. Taylor teams up with her fiance, FBI profiler Dr. John Baldwin, and New Scotland Yard detective James "Memphis" Highsmythe -- a haunted man who has eyes only for Taylor -- to put an end to The Conductor's art collection.
Review:
I first began reading The Cold Room
The book made me realize that I don't enjoy novels that give me a vivid glimpse into the criminal's mind - especially if this results in a violent and sadistic crime. If you're not overly bothered by dark and twisted psychotics and you enjoy detective thrillers, give this a try because the book itself is gripping and might be more to your taste. Many other reviewers enjoyed it. If you'd like to read fuller and more favorable reviews of The Cold Room,
