I was going to give it 4 stars, but two Surprises near the end of the book made me change it to 5 stars. There was a twist that I half expected but after that I was taken by surprise. The criminal was killing off couples that were literally just married, the same night. Why? That's not revealed till the end of the book. OK, I'm hooked on another series. Have books #2 and #3 already.
