About this audiobook
Claire McIntyre tried to ignore the murders—the headlines of women stabbed to death, the city’s mounting fear. She tried to forget, too, the painful past she’d left behind in Massachusetts...and concentrate on her entrancing new life with Marc Bonnard. He was a man of wealth and sophistication, who wrapped her in a spell of erotic desire. Alone with Marc and his small daughter in his classic, elegant apartment, Claire could almost forget her loneliness...could almost believe that she loved him. But as the brutal deaths continued, Claire discovered a terrifying secret, a nightmare that became her own. Trapped in a sinister web of ancient vows and grisly revenge, she fled into the proud, indifferent city, searching for help, for a safe escape. Now, as rain falls softly down, she must outwit a killer whose mad cunning knows no bounds, a murderer who will find her no matter where she hides.

Escaping a troubling past in America, Claire McIntyre lives in Paris with her new lover and his young daughter. Left to her own devices for much of the time and feeling isolated without knowing the language, Claire befriends a fellow American with whom she shares an intense attraction. Soon, however, Claire becomes entangled in a dangerous web of deceit and murder as the serial killer active in the city is revealed to be someone a little too close to home…
One of Stuart’s earlier works, which is more of a thriller than romantic suspense.
Much of the story revolves around Claire’s borderline abusive relationship with her lover, Marc Bonnard. Marc comes across as a sociopath who has cornered the market on passive aggressiveness. There is a creepy vibe to the way he treats Claire and their sex scenes are enough to make to your skin crawl. Nevertheless, there is something compelling about him and it seems that he is a template for some of Stuart’s later morally ambiguous romance heroes.
Claire is a strange mix of strength and weakness. On the one hand, she is overly dependent on Marc and too accepting of his psychological abuse, but on the other hand, she takes the necessary steps to distance herself from him emotionally when the hints at his true nature are revealed. Her relationship with Tom is disappointing as he is more of a Beta than and Alpha hero and their chemistry is never fully realized.
The serial killer investigation is the best aspect of the book with some grisly depictions of crime scenes and gripping portrayals of the various suspects. The French police, however, are not portrayed in a positive light. They are certainly inefficient and even borderline incompetent with shades of Inspector Clouseau thrown in.
In sum, a good thriller but not for readers expecting more of a romance with their suspense.
