Book Review: Hot Blooded by Lisa Jackson (New Orleans #1)

Hot Blooded Hot Blooded by Lisa Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The setting is New Orleans during a hot summer.  A serial killer has been killing women.  Dr. Samantha Leeds is a psychiatrist / radio talk show host.  She has been receiving phone calls and mail from an unknown individual who knows way too much about her past.  Everything comes together in this atmospheric thriller. 

New Orleans police detectives Rick Bentz and Reuben Montoya work together to find the killer.  It was these detectives and their work together that I really enjoyed about this book.  I will definitely be reading the next book in this series.  

I'm not sure whether it was just my Kindle version, but the formatting was very screwy throughout the entire book, especially when it came to quoted dialog.  The dialog from different speakers was all run together, making it very difficult to determine who was actually speaking.
