Synopsis

There is a dark side to every passion . . .

Cases of random violence have erupted across the country—murderous acts committed by previously non-violent people. Detective Adam Boedecker, grieving brother to one of the suicide–murderers, has discovered that all the suspects had taken a new breakthrough anti-depressant, Valazine.

Elizabeth Barnes has devoted her heart and soul to pharmaceutical research. She's at the top of her game and slated to be awarded top honors for her latest breakthrough drug. Until a detective contacts her about a recent wave of homicides.

At first, Eli dismisses it as the wild accusations of a grieving, burnt–out cop. But after another mysterious death, and some investigating of her own, Eli realizes that this intense, driven man may be the only one who can stop the killings . . . and save her from the dark side of her work.

About Linda Castillo

She then added some romance and romantic thriller novels.

Castillo has had thirty books published by three different New York publishing houses. Her books have won her several awards, including the prestigious Rita award. She has also been on the NYT best seller's lists and the USA Today lists as well as recognized internationally.

I listened to this book as an audiobook. I have always liked Linda Castillo‘s books, but this one fell short. SPOILER.

Goodreads review by Kathryn on April 17, 2021

This was an excellent book, in my opinion. There were interesting characters, who were well developed as the story progressed, and the storyline - itself - was suspenseful. I was surprised by the ending, which kept this suspenseful throughout the story. There was a bit more romance than I'm usually......more

Goodreads review by Kristina on October 07, 2022

I have enjoyed most of Linda Castillo’s books about crimes among the Amish, but this one made me not want to try any more of her other ones. Maybe partly because I listened to it and did not like the reader. And Adam’s longing and wishing for Eli was so repetitive, it got boring very fast, made me cri......more
