What an exciting story and what exciting characters!!! Lisa grabs your attention immediately with the body of college girls found completely clothed and with their purses in the prologue. The book begins with training camp for future FBI agents centering on a young woman named Kimberly who was the daughter of a former agent. While running during training, Kimberly comes across the body of a young woman. This begins Kimberly's quest to help solve these murders which prove to be from a serial killer. With the help of an agent from Atlanta and her father and his partner, they begin the quest to find three more missing women with clues left purposely by the killer. ( )

Not one of her best, but it still holds your attention as the tension builds. ( )

very good book, quick moving and yet fun ( )

Good book. I read it one afternoon when I wasn't feeling well and wanted to curl up and just read. I didn't put it down.

Mostly suspense, with just a bit of romance. Other reviewers have given a thorough synopsis, so I won't. I enjoyed it! ( )

It's been a while since I've read a suspenseful thriller that had me at the edge of my seat for the entire story.

On one of the hottest summer's day in Georgia, 2 women go to a bar and are never heard from again. One of them is found by the side of the road, dead. A few months later, the 2nd woman is found dead in a different area. The following year, on an extremely hot day, another 2 girls go to a bar and are never heard of again. One is found dead, by the side of the road. Her friend is found a few months later in an unrelated area.

The same thing happens twice more and then suddenly ... nothing. The Eco-killer, as the serial killer has come to be known, has gone to ground. Or has he?

Has he surfaced again, 5 years later, when another female body is found. Were there and are there, subtle clues on the bodies that are blatantly left to be found easily that could lead to the discovery of the other missing woman before she's dead?

Why is Special Agent McCormack receiving calls from someone claiming to know who the killer is, and warning him of future kills?

A new FBI recruit, with her own traumatic past, teams up with McCormack to find the 2nd girl before dies. Add to this team, a profiler, the FBI, the NCIS, geologists, dendrologist, linguist ... and you have a race against time, with seemingly obscure clues, snakes, vicious bugs, and the killing heat.

There are surprises at every corner, just when you think you've cracked the case, identified the serial killer, or identified one of the girls, a sharp twist flips you upside down and leaves you reevaluating what you thought you knew.

A fantastic suspenseful thriller. ( )
