The Hangman
Description
Julia Vargas is a cop with a mission. When she’s not chasing down bad guys, Julia dedicates her time to investigating the Hangman serial killer…the same unsolved case that her father, Jim Vargas, was working on when he supposedly shot and killed himself three decades before. While rumors continue to swirl around her father’s death, Julia attempts to hunt down the truth.
The case once again hits dangerously close, however, when a woman’s bones are discovered in a historic downtown home, together with a photograph of Jim and Julia as a young girl. As horrifying as this discovery is, it may just be the break Julia has waited for. Working alongside Tobias Novak, a homicide detective with whom she shares a complicated—and steamy—history, she’s forced to confront her own past even as the Hangman looms in the shadows. But as the mysterious killer circles closer, Julia can feel her own noose begin to tighten…

My Review
First off, let me say that I am a fan of this author's. I have actually read these books out of order. I started with book two, The Dollmaker and next this book. I do plan to go back and read the first book. So if you are one of those people wondering if you can read books out of order, you can. There are some references to prior events from the other books, but really it does not take anything away from the reading experience of this book.
Julia and Tobias made a good team. I did not think that their relationship distracted from the case. So glad for this. For me, there is nothing worse then having a relationship be the main focus in a murder mystery story. However, I did like that this story did not just happen in the present but also reached back into the past with Julia's father.
There was a slight decline in pacing in the middle but not a lot to really slow the story down. Yet, the story really picked up in the last third of the story. A good ending. I can't wait to read the next book from this author. Mary Burton showcases her talent as a top writer with the Hangman!
