Hormone-Driven Mystery

"Cage of Shadows" begins with Robin Lowell's parents being murdered while they're sleeping in their beds. From there, three more people are later killed: Lindsey Gannon (a family acquaintance of the Lowells), Sam Jordan (Robin's ex-boyfriend), and Judy Korman (Robin's employee at the Rosewood House).Detective Dex Wilmer leads the investigation of who murdered the above people and wants to kill Robin next. First of all, there's Hollis Caldwell (Robin's fiancee) who has been following Robin, breaking into her work and house (which gets him a restraining order), and has been without alibis on several occasions. Then there's Taylor Noland (Robin's best friend), who has been just as elusive about her whereabouts as Hollis. Taylor also shares another common bond with Hollis (besides having an affair with him): she's in love with Robin--enough to keep her away from Hollis, perhaps forever.The only thing I didn't really like about the book was how everyone seemed to be attracted to each other. For instance, Robin loves Hollis, Taylor loves Robin, Dex loves Robin... You get the idea. Even though a couple of the relationships are relevant to the plot (Robin and Hollis; Taylor and Hollis), some seemed to be thrown in just for spice (Taylor and Robin; Dex and Robin).Also, even though the sex scenes weren't too excessive or graphic (which would have ruined the book, in my opinion), some of them seemed inappropriate, i.e., when Robin and Hollis have sex just after her parents are buried.Overall, I really liked "Cage of Shadows". It's pretty easy to read, and the ending has a great twist.
