Blurb from Goodreads...

He captured the Beauty Killer, one of the most deranged serial killers in the country. Now, Portland police detective Archie Sheridan faces a different kind of killer - a brutal rain season that has flooded the Willamette River, claiming several lives. As water levels rise, so does the fear. Because some of the victims didn't drown; they were murdered.

The first body contains a rare poison. Three others prove to be murders as well. And with each gruesome discovery the medical examiner uncovers, Archie begins to realize he has not escaped his nightmares, even with his deadliest enemy behind bars. The flood has washed up old skeletons from the past. And a ruthless new serial killer rules the night...

My Thoughts...

I have read some reviews before I started reading this 4th book in the series. I read that most people didn't like this one because there was less Gretchen Lowell and more Susan Ward, the reporter-journalist from The Herald. I may be biased because I am addicted to this series but I loved this book just as much as the first 3! I love kooky Susan and her mom, Bliss Mountain. I also love Henry Sobol, Archie Sheridan's partner, and Claire Masland, Henry's girlfriend. All three are detectives in the Beauty Killer Task Force hunting Gretchen.

In The Night Season, another serial killer surfaced attacking people with a mysterious weapon, leaving the victims dead, poisoned. It was only Detective Sobol who fought for his life after being poisoned, too, who came out of coma was able to tell Archie about the suspect.

I loved how Archie and Claire worried about Henry. I loved how Archie fought his fear of not being able to get to Susan in time. I loved how Archie stamped down on his guilt when another detective died.

I am in love with Archie Sheridan and I just can't help it! Ha-ha!

Read this book, Chelsea Cain fans. It's worth every minute you spend reading it!
