Evil at Heart
Evil at Heart is the follow-up to Chelsea Cain‘s (New York Times Bestselling Author) excellent thrillers Heartsick and Sweetheart. Evil at Heart has been voted one of Amazon’s “Best Books of 2009… So Far.” The psychopath killer Gretchen Lowell is back and detective Archie Sheridan, who’s been tortured by her for ten days (and then mysteriously let him go) in Heartsick, is back to haunt her down. Is she the one to blame for the terrible crimes? Or is it a bunch of psychotic followers?

I haven’t read any of the books yet, although I have read all the excerpts. But after reading about them I just have to buy them. They have everything I like with a book! Scary, exciting, crime, horror and of course… a psychopath! It’s not common to read about female psychopaths, I can’t remember one single book where the “bad guy” has been a woman. So that looks very promising!
You can read an excerpt at Chelsea Cain’s website, and check out Publishers Weekly’s review below!
“In Cain’s superb follow-up to Heartsick, damaged detective Archie Sheridan is back home in Portland, Ore., trying to resume a normal life. Archie’s ties to serial killer Gretchen Lowell still run deep, even if he’s stopped their weekly visits in prison.
Meanwhile, reporter Susan Ward is finishing an article accusing a beloved U.S. senator of seducing his children’s 14-year-old babysitter a decade earlier. When three bodies are discovered in a local park—where Archie’s team found Gretchen’s first victim 12 years earlier—Archie worries another serial killer is at large. After the senator’s unexpected death, Susan discovers links between the sex scandal and the bodies in the park.
When Gretchen escapes from prison, Archie knows he’s the only one who can stop her from killing. In Cain’s capable hands, Gretchen is both a monster and the only person who truly understands Archie’s pain. With its brisk pacing, carefully metered violence and tortured hero, Cain’s sophomore effort will leave readers desperate for more.” Publishers Weekly
