Doctor Victoria Ward has been killing men for over 30 years. Her victims all have one thing in common: They’re abusive. Righteousness is a close companion - it helps her sleep at night - and she holds the virtue closely as she defends the innocent, upholding the law when it won’t rise to protect those who need it most.
When she meets a young girl named Kelly and follows her down a twisted path of deception, Doc Ward finds herself face-to-face with a ghost from her past. Never before has she wavered in her resolve, but can she defend another against someone she loves?
This is a stand-alone novel in a series with crossover characters and may be listened to independently of the other books. 

My Review

Provocation by Jo Michaels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was my first Jo Michaels's book. This is the second book in the Pen Pals and Serial Killers Series, a standalone novel with crossover characters. The story is well written, and suspenseful. It reminded me of Dexter Series. However, in this story, a woman is the serial killer, which isn't usual. Some scenes are really graphic (definitively not for faint of heart!). The motives and the thoughts of the serial killer are well built, and well describe. The back and forth, past to present, helps to better understand Victoria's motives, and the breathtaking ending. The story is fast-paced, and the suspense unfolds with some surprising twists and turns, and the ending is completely unpredictable. Stacy Gonzalez and Marni Penning did an amazing job to bring to life this thriller.
