My Review

I chose to read this book after receiving a free e-copy from the author. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased. I have read several of Carolyn Arnold’s books, and they never disappoint.

Brandon Fisher works for the BAU with the FBI. When a prosecuting attorney is assassinated, his team is called in, and they soon realize that this may be the work of a serial killer. As more evidence comes to light, the team analyzes and theorizes until they figure out who the killer is and why they are killing.

Along with the excitement of chasing a killer, the agents have their own problems. Brandon is a good guy and he’s likable but he has made his mistakes and he’s having trouble right now dealing with one of those. I find it interesting that he and Paige work for the BAU but are unable to communicate very well or “read” each other. There’s also a new agent who is working with their supervisory agent, Jack Harper. The poor woman questions herself at every turn. I like how Carolyn Arnold makes these people seem so real.

I like Carolyn Arnold’s writing whether it’s a cozy mystery or an FBI thriller or something in between. Her writing flows well and her characters are realistic. If you like murder mysteries, serial killers, and/or the TV show Criminal Minds, you will like the Brandon Fisher series.
