The Profiler's Daughter

Sky Stone, Book 1

De: P. M. Steffen

Narrado por: Gabrielle de Cuir

A grisly murder. A six-year-old eyewitness. A gun from the grave.

The Profiler's Daughter is a psychologically haunting thriller that combines murder mystery, love triangle, and family intrigue in one satisfying page burner.

Sky Stone was born into the wealth and privilege of Boston's oldest Brahmin family but chooses instead to follow in the footsteps of her deceased father, legendary FBI profiler Monk Stone. In the chilly morning hours before the Boston Marathon, when a beautiful university student is found strangled and mutilated, her body left at the base of Heartbreak Hill, Sky returns from self-imposed exile to investigate. Thirty-six hours into the investigation, Sky's world turns upside down when she is fired from the Homicide team. They pin the murder on an innocent man, forcing Sky into a life-threatening game of cat and mouse with the real killer. From the stately mansions of Beacon Hill to the flat scrubland of central Texas, Sky keeps the reader on a razor's edge, culminating in a no-holds-barred shoot-out.

The Profiler's Daughter, the first in the Sky Stone Thriller series, introduces a moody, enigmatic, and brilliant female sleuth with the fierce bite of Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander. As adeptly written as Martin Cruz Smith's complex Arkady Renko novels, this thriller offers an intriguing plot, richly detailed characters, and an astonishing conclusion guaranteed to leave the listener begging for more.

Any additional comments?

This is a great book to listen to - I didn't know what to think with it being the first one from this author but I got a great surprise and am looking forward to the next book!! The ending has an unanswered question I REALLY want to know the answer to!!

It was just ok!

When I began the book, I truly did not like the narrator...for some reason she spoke so slowly and raspy… I truly believe it was her voice choice for this character that made her sound dumb ditzy and lame!! The more I got used to the narrator, the more I realized that the book just did not develop the character good enough. it was hard to tell whether she was a dumb idiot or a smart profiler but I never truly accepted that she was smart enough to be a profiler!! If I had a return left I would have returned this one!!

Annual Read!

I enjoy this book every tme I listen to it. The Profiler's Daughter has mystery, twists, love, pets, hope, money, beauty, details, smarts, chuckles, suspense, action.... I could go on and on. I hope one day there will be a Book 2. Love the narrator.

The Profiler's Daughter

The book was very riveting... I was disappointed in the end because you didn't tell us what the baby's gender was. Or who the father was. I really enjoyed listening to the book.
