Publisher's summary

The brutal murders of three young boys paralyze the citizens of Platte City, Nebraska. What's worse is the grim realization that the man recently executed for the crimes was a copycat. When Sheriff Nick Morrelli is called to the scene of another grisly murder, it becomes clear that the real predator is still at large, waiting to kill again. Morrelli understands the urgency of the case terrorizing his community, but it's the experienced eye of FBI criminal profiler Maggie O'Dell that pinpoints the true nature of the evil behind the killings; a revelation made all the more horrific when Morrelli's own nephew goes missing.

Maggie understands something else: the killer is enjoying himself, relishing his ability to stay one step ahead of her, making this case more personal by the hour. Because out there, watching, is a killer with a heart of pure and perfect evil.

Fool me once

I can be fooled once into finishing a book expecting it to be worth my time, but I can't be fooled twice.

A ,mystery is supposed to keep you guessing for at least a little while. This book told me who the bad guy was in the first 30 minutes. I kept listening because I couldn't believe it would be that bad and that it would surprise me in the end. It didn't.

The narration was horrid, sounding like there was an echo most of the time. I kept waiting for that to go away. It didn't.

Don't waste your credit.

A bad Romance novel disguised as a Suspense novel.

i find many aspects of this book to be unbelievable and ridiculous. Would not recommend.

Harlequin?

Felt like I was reading a Harlequin Romance. The serial killer angle was interesting to me, but the sappy over the top romance was annoying and trite. Was also disappointed with the ending, if there is a sequel, as it is obvious there should be, I won't buy it.

Don't get this book!

There is no way any police or FBI group would handle an investigation this way. Don't waste your time reading this. it's lame. Performance is fine. The story has some value otherwise the research towards proper investigation is lacking and frustrating to read.
