Clymene O'Riley is in prison for killing her husband-though Diane Fallon is sure she killed another, and suspects she may have left a veritable graveyard of dead men in her wake. Either way, Diane was happy to help put her behind bars. So when Clymene informs her that one of the prison guards may be in danger from a serial killer, Diane is suspicious.
And when Clymene escapes from jail, Diane becomes the prime suspect in a bloody murder that puts her in the path of an angry killer who wants her dead...

March 24, 2009: This book is so exciting. The book is completely unpredictable and I love it. I actually couldn't put the book down. The forensic analysis that Diane Fallona and her team does seems so real, like an actual telvision show.
I Also Recommend: Scattered Graves (Diane Fallon Series #6), One Grave Too Many (Diane Fallon Series #1), Dead Guilty (Diane Fallon Series #2), Dead Past (Diane Fallon Series #4).

Clymene O'Riley is in prison for murdering her husband. The authorities think she is a black widow and has killed others, but they haven't been able to prove it.
Diane Fallon is in charge of the Rosewood, GA, crime lab as a forensic anthropologist as well as director of the River Trail Museum of Natural History. Actually the two jobs work well together.
Clymene is a manipulator and very smart. She asks to speak to Diane. FBI Profiler Ross Kingsley talks Diane into seeing her.
In the meantime museum assistant director Kendal Williams is under scrutiny, along with the museum, due to a report in a local newspaper that she knowingly purchased stolen artifacts. The rumors could destroy her career.
Clymene escapes from prison and is believed to have been murdered. Diane becomes the prime suspect.
Can she and her crime lab staff discover the identity of the real killer? Can Diane also help clear up the reputation of the museum and Kendal?
I absolutely love this series. Diane is such a great character. No matter whether she's caving or investigating, or working in the museum. I devour these books and can't wait for the next one.
The author does such a fabulous job plotting them out. I always have a terrible time trying to put the book down. I just have to keep reading to find out who did it and how.
I highly recommend this book and series.
