Summary
3.5 stars -- Reviewed by Rebecca
"There's something terrifying about staring into the eyes of a serial killer."
Private investigator Sophie Walsh had worked incredibly hard alongside local law enforcement to deliver justice for the three women whom The Perfect Princess Killer had murdered. On the morning of convicted killer Kurt Fogerty's sentencing, everything that Sophie assumed about the case fell apart on the way into the courthouse. Starting all over again; now that was something that Sophie definitely knew how to do.
These kinds of investigative plot lines are my very favorite! This story starts out at a reasonable pace, but in the blink of an eye, one discovery puts everyone in panic mode, rapidly pulling on every thread of evidence until the answers fall into place. The results prove shocking.
Next episode, please!
