Story
In the unbearable heat of another sultry Washington, D.C., summer, a serial killer is on the loose. Dr. Tess Court, one of the capital’s most successful psychiatrists, wants nothing to do with the case—until the police convince her to lend a hand to the lead investigator, legendary ladies’ man Detective Ben Paris. Scarred by his family’s history, Ben has even less use for shrinks than Tess has for him—but the forces of animal magnetism and a shared desire to catch the demented criminal known as “The Priest” inexorably erode the walls they’ve built.

Publisher's Summary
From Nora Roberts, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Villa and Carolina Moon, comes a classic tale—a searing novel of twisted passion and lethal cunning.
Superstar mystery novelist Grace McCabe needs to unwind after a grueling book tour, and visiting her sister, whom she hasn't seen in months, seems the perfect solution. But Grace is surprised to find the fastidious Kathleen living in a grungy Washington, D.C., neighborhood. Kathleen, reeling from a bitter divorce and the loss of her son, is saving every penny of her teacher's salary to hire a hotshot lawyer for a custody battle.
Then Grace discovers that Kathleen is boosting her income with an unlikely profession: as an at-home phone-sex operator. Known as Desiree to the clients of Fantasy, Inc., Kathleen is living life on the edge. Yet how dangerous could it really be? With the ironclad anonymity the agency guarantees its employees, could anyone ever track her down?
Grace finds out one cherry-blossom-scented night when she comes home to find her sister dead, strangled with the cord of her "special" phone. Suddenly Grace's life turns into a scene from one of her own books—the horror, the tight-lipped police, the shattered survivor. Only this time the survivor is Grace herself.
But she isn't waiting around for the police to catch up with the killer. Instead she creates a daring trap to lure the killer to her. Her plan goes against every coolheaded instinct of Detective Ed Jackson, the lead investigator on the case. He's read all of Grace's books and might have been the perfect consultant for the one she's working on, though in this real-life murder, she's the last complication he needs.
He's determined to keep Grace out of harm's way, but it's too late. Her trap has already worked. She has aroused the attention of a brilliant madman, and now nothing may be able to protect her from the murderous lust that drives this killer down a path of ecstasy laced with death.

Maybe I’ll try the book
To be clear, I didn’t get past the second chapter.
Audio is not my preferred reading format, but if this were the first book I’d ever listened to, I’d never try another.
I enjoy Roberts’ novels, but never noticed her use of said. I am team ‘replied/asked/mentioned/etc.’ Mostly because dialogue in audio format just sounds ridiculous with the repetitive ‘saids.’ I never notice them when reading, but when listening, it’s too distracting.
But I would have kept going if not for the narrator. The monotone reading of the story, while appropriate for some, just doesn’t fit here. Her lack of acting, character voices, and overall inflection just doesn’t cut it for me. A full two chapters in and I still can’t tell Grace from Kathleen.
And with a steamy plot line? Maybe my imagination just isn’t flexible enough to handle the lack of support in this area.
To be sure, she’s a terrific reader and I imagine there are plenty of books that would shine under her attentions. But I just don’t think this is one of them.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
