PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Jones's spirited fourth mystery to feature Philadelphia art therapist Zoe Hayes (after 2007's The Deadly Neighbors), Zoe's discovery of an eviscerated human body on her patio puts a crimp in her wedding plans. When the brothers of her overly protective fianc , Det. Nick Stiles, arrive in town, Zoe wonders if one of them could be the killer. The stakes rise after a hit-and-run driver, apparently intent on mowing down Zoe and her baby son, strikes a colleague of Zoe's instead. When she discovers that several unstable patients were recently released from the psychiatric institute where she works including a former student with an unhealthy obsession with Zoe's pregnancy Zoe realizes she's caught in the middle of something more sinister than just a series of hurdles before her big day. Jones pulls out all the stops in portraying Zoe as crime-solver and bride-to-be, and though there are several unsettling surprises, the resolution is a charmer.
