M.J. Rose, The Venus Fix

This is the third book in M.J. Rose's Butterfield Institute series. The books feature sex therapist Dr. Morgan Snow, who has worked with the police in the past on cases related to her field. This time, there's a string of bizarre on-screen deaths involving "web cam girls," girls who perform live for people watching on their computers. Morgan has insight into the case but isn't able to share it with her policeman boyfriend because of confidentiality issues, and that is in fact a recurring problem for the couple. The story was interesting and I did not guess whodunit before the reveal. It bothered me a bit, though, that it was all so incestuous. The victims were all in New York (despite the fact that web cam pornography could be coming from anywhere in the world), and one way or another the case involved Morgan's client, Morgan's co-worker, some kids in Morgan's group therapy session, Morgan's boyfriend, and at least one other connection I won't specify. How likely is that? But apart from that, a good read. Be warned that there's sexually explicit stuff in this series, if that's not something you want to read.
