Publisher's summary

From New York Times best-selling author Brenda Novak comes Face Off, the next installment of Dr. Evelyn Talbot and her murderous home for psychopaths. She vowed never to be a victim again. But now a killer has her in his sight....

Tortured and left for dead at 16, Evelyn Talbot turned her personal nightmare into her life’s work - studying the disturbing psychopathy of some of the world’s most vicious serial killers. Now a leading psychiatrist at Hanover House in a small Alaskan town, she tries to believe the past will never come back to haunt her - until a woman goes missing from a cabin nearby, and every clue points to the man who once brutalized her....

As her boyfriend, who is the area’s only police, begins to investigate - and finds not one but two bodies - Evelyn can’t forget that her would-be killer, Jasper Moore, was never caught. But there are no new faces in tiny Hilltop, no one who seems suspicious or potentially violent. In this twisted game of cat and mouse, Evelyn is certain of only one thing - Jasper must be hiding in plain sight. And if she can’t find him before he comes for her, she won’t be lucky enough to survive twice....

“Novak is a master of suspense.” (RT Book Reviews)

Evelyn Talbot Chronicles Book Three

Evelyn Talbot Chronicles Book Three

Evelyn and Amarok are racing to find Jasper before he comes after them, but he may already be in Hilltop. The discovery of two bodies convinces the two that Jasper is killing in their hometown. When the lab results come in that prove Jasper's involvement in several previous murders, including his own parents, Amarok believes he has enough evidence to request the flight manifests linking those murders. If they can only find out Jasper's current alias, maybe they can stop him for good.

If you've been waiting for Evelyn's resolution of her experience with her tormentor, this is the book for you!

CAPTIVATING IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!

I believe that the Evelyn Talbot series is my all time favorite of the hundreds of series in my library. There's a fourth book that doesn't seem to be available and I sincerely hope it becomes so very soon. This series is so gripping that it's extremely hard to do anything but listen. Brenda Novak has done an amazing job of detailing the depth of all her characters. And it absolutely go without saying that Therese Plummer is the perfect narrator for the series. She does an extraordinary job to say the least and she remains at the tip top of my "Favorite Narrator List".

It is my personal opinion that although this could be a stand alone novel, it shouldn't be. This series should be read in order of release to fully understand and enjoy the depth of the characters.

Great story

I really enjoyed the story, but quickly tired of some many plot points being repeated over and over again. The book would have been better without all the repetition. Very good narration.
