Book description from Book Bub:
“Kaely Quinn’s talents as an FBI behavior analyst are impossible to ignore, no matter how unorthodox her methods. But when a reporter outs her as the daughter of an infamous serial killer, she’s demoted to field agent and transferred to St. Louis.
When the same reporter who ruined her career claims to have received an anonymous poem predicting a string of murders, ending with Kaely’s, the reporter’s ulterior motives bring his claim into question. But when a body is found that fits the poem’s predictions, the threat is undeniable, and the FBI sends Special Agent Noah Hunter to St. Louis.
Initially resentful of the assignment, Noah is surprised at how quickly his respect for Kaely grows, despite her oddities. But with a brazen serial killer who breaks all the normal patterns on the loose, Noah and Kaely are tested to their limits to catch the murderer before anyone else–including Kaely herself–is killed.”
My Review:
Bravo to Nancy Mehl! She has given us a compelling and intriguing character in FBI profiler Kaely Quinn. The daughter of a serial killer, she joined the FBI to combat the evil that exists in the criminal world. Even though she was only a child when her father was arrested, Kaely’s background attracts attention as she works her cases. Her method of profiling is unusual, and her success rate high. As a believer, Kaely finds that she can depend on God’s presence to guide her during times of danger and distress.
Fans of the TV show “Criminal Minds” will love this faith-based version of an FBI profiling case. I love Christian suspense fiction and I could hardly put this book down. Just be aware that this storyline is quite intense as far as to the criminal activity. This book definitely is in the “young adult and older” category. All the crime is dealt with in a very appropriate way, and there’s no foul language or embarrassing scenes. This is the first book in this series, and I will be following along to learn more about Kaely.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
