This is a good read. It has the usual cast from the series and is centred around the holiday. This Rorake and Eve's first Christmas together and it was interesting to see how each handles the holidays. 
 (view spoiler)[ As for the killer I couldn't understand the brutality of the crimes. The why was not explained well. And I like the chemistry between Peabody and McNab. I was relieved to see it was Peabody who was targeted and McNab and Feeney who rescued her. I did not want it to be Eve just cause she she is the main protagonist and there is only so much I can read about the same person getting attacked in every book. (hide spoiler)]
