Dolores dela Cruz has been dying to spot one in the wild, and he fits the mold: strangler gloves, calculated charm, dashing good looks that give a leg up in any field . . . including fields of unmarked graves.
The new office temp is definitely a serial killer.
Jake Ripper finds a welcome distraction in his combative and enigmatic new coworker. He hasn’t come across anyone as interesting as Dolores in a long time. But when mere curiosity evolves into a darkly romantic flirtation, Jake can’t help but wonder if, finally, he’s found someone who really sees him, skeletons in the closet and all.
Until Dolores asks Jake’s help to dispose of a body.
I’m half and half on this one. I like it because the commentary was fun and witty. But I didn’t like it because it ended up feeling more like an odd rom com, which isn’t my usual cup of tea. The dialogue kept me reading more.
I say weird because it's not your typical meet cute, Hallmark. This is darker and more morbid. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but can be off-putting when you first start. But if the reader continues through it. They might actually find it interesting.
Overall, I rate this novel 3 out of 5 stars.
