The Beauty Killer doesn’t repeat things and this is all looking like the work of a copycat killer. Everyone is sure it’s Gretchen starting her murderous spree again but Archie isn’t so sure. It’s a tenuous thread but it seems to be holding – until bodies start turning up in previous dump sites of Beauty Killer victims. At the moment they’re at a kind of stale mate – Gretchen is promising not to kill anyone else as long as Archie doesn’t kill himself.

This review will have **Spoilers** for Sweetheart because it’s almost impossible to talk about Evil at Heart without referencing what happened at the conclusion of the last book. ![]() Evil at Heart follows Heartsick and Sweetheart and we pick up a couple of months after the conclusion of Sweetheart. The third installment of Cain’s ‘Beauty Killer’ series, thrillers featuring female serial killer Gretchen Lowell and the cop trying to bring her down (more than once) Archie Sheridan. ![]()
