Is Mason really helping her catch the killer? Or is he lining Ruby up to be his next victim?

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent series
I've really enjoyed reading this series, so much so, I've read one book after the other, not wanting to the story to end. Each book has you hooked from the first chapter. The endings always a surprise. Hopefully more books to follow.
