It's her third novel.

She writes the best opening lines ever:
"I wondered when rigor mortis would set in, or if it already had.'

Opening line of her first novel, Unraveling Oliver: "I expected more of a reaction the first time I hit her."

Second novel, Lying in Wait: "My husband did not mean to kill Annie Doyle, but the lying tramp deserved it."

Really, really good stuff.
