This is my first time reading the author. Dead Perfect is a corker of a thriller so I will check out her other books. I want to read about Maggie's earlier cases. There are some things I missed the full meaning of as I haven't read the other books. Maggie is a great character, tough, driven and a bit of a bad ass. Dead Perfect is very intense and unsettling as Maggie and her team try to find and stop a macabre stalker who kills his victims and alters their appearance before dumping them. I had the flesh crawlies. I loved the tension and fast pace and the book rattles along. This is a gripping book.
