Before She Dies by Mary Burton
Summary: In death, they are purified.
Holding his victims under water, he washes away their sins as they struggle for
their last breath. Then he stakes their bodies to the ground, exposing them for
what they really are. Witches, sent to tempt and to corrupt. No one knows about
defence attorney Charlotte Wellington's murdered sister, or about her childhood
spent with the carnival that's just arrived in town. For Charlotte, what's past
is past. But others don't agree. And as a madman's body count rises, she and
Detective Daniel Rokov are drawn into a mission that's become terrifyingly
personal.
Angie's Comments: This
is my first Mary Burton book. Before She
Dies is part of a loose series. You can read the books out of order (like
what I did – reading Before She Dies before
reading Merciless). Charlotte is an interesting
character, who strives to present a front to the world. I liked having
Charlotte and Daniel together, although I wish there was more development on
the romance. Much of the focus of this book is on the mystery. I was able to
narrow down the murderer before Burton revealed it, but that didn’t detract
much from my enjoyment.
