The forensic pathologist finds herself pitted against a powerful force that returns her to the past, and her time to catch the killer is running out ...

This storyline left me wondering if it was finished. I did not enjoy this book.

Livid not up to standards

The plot, to me, was weak and unsubstantial with many characters never fully fleshed out — As if this was just a light snack to the author’s usual satisfying fare.

The plot was unengaging
