Publisher's summary

A serial killer watches and waits. Each time, he takes two victims, preparing the first's body with all the clues the police need to find the second, who is still alive. The clock ticks, and the second one can still be saved. But the police never make it in time. The second one dies. For years, the killer has plagued the city with the same pattern, but the police never pick up on it quickly enough. Now, two girls have disappeared in the midst of a daunting heat wave. Rookie FBI agent Kimberly Quincy knows the killer's deadline can be met. But she'll have to break some rules in order to beat an exceedingly vicious criminal at a game he's had years to perfect.

Critic reviews

"With tight plotting, an ear for forensic detail, and a dash of romance, this is a truly satisfying sizzler in the tradition of Tess Gerritsen and Tami Hoag." (Publishers Weekly)

Slow and steady. I was a captive audience.

I could not stop listening to this book. usually you can figure out who the bad guy is, but not with this story. I highly recommend this book.

Phenomenal

What made the experience of listening to The Killing Hour the most enjoyable?

I loved the Characters. The story was intense filled with twists and turns that kept me on edge. Even before the book ended I started wandering if there were other books with these characters.

What other book might you compare The Killing Hour to and why?

No other book comes to mind that would compare.

What about Anna Fields’s performance did you like?

Anna Fields performance was outstanding. I always knew who was speaking.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I actually took my IPad to bed with me, and would wake in the middle of the night and arrow back to pick up where I fell asleep.
