My Review

The Poet by Lisa Renee Jones
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

There is a serial killer on the loose who is leaving poems with each of his victims. Detective Samantha Jazz takes over the case when the lead detective suddenly resigns in the middle of the investigation. So, it doesn't hurt that she knows a thing or two about poetry,

"The Poet" as she dubs him, begins a cat and mouse game meant to leave her unbalanced and not sure who to trust outside of her tight inner circle. These lessons are to help her see what she's meant to be.

Pretty intense. There were quite a few scenes that had me holding my breath. If you love procedural crime, you should pick this one up. Looking forward to seeing what else comes from this series.
