They’re super, super, always on the lookout for someone that could possibly be the killer because Priya has been receiving gifts that fit within the killer’s profile. Priya and her mother are very interesting and have spent the last several years grieving and moving around from place to place…for reasons I don’t really want to tell you. This book actually features Priya, the sister of one of the victims of the serial killer. So! the big question is: are the “butterflies” in this book? Yes they are. The Quantico Three are simultaneously juggling this case and the Butterfly Garden case. Here, they’re investigating a string of very unpleasant serial killings in which young girls are found murdered in similar fashion, all in churches, all surrounded by flowers. The case is still ongoing, however, and the investigators that we met in the first book are the same investigators that are featured in this one: the Quantico Three. The Roses of May picks up a short time after the Butterfly Garden has been destroyed. I’m so puzzled by the mixed reviews! I mean, different strokes for different folks and all, but I thought this was great.

But I couldn’t help myself and a few days later, I caved and started this one.īut oh my goodness: I COULD NOT STOP READING. I remember closing that book on my Kindle, sitting down, and pacing for a few minutes because I needed to process what I had just read. When I finished The Butterfly Garden, I wasn’t sure if I would continue with this series. Only with Priya’s help can the killer be found-but will her desperate hope for closure compel her to put her very life on the line? Review: But when she ends up in the madman’s crosshairs, the hunt takes on new urgency. Now she and her mother move every few months, hoping for a new beginning. Priya Sravasti’s sister fell victim to the killer years ago. But for the agents, the impending thaw means one gruesome thing: a chilling guarantee that somewhere in the country, another young woman will turn up dead in a church with her throat slit and her body surrounded by flowers.
