great story

Kept you turning pages for the next clue. Detail was incredible. A very enjoyable mystery that kept you interested all the way! ( )

Another good Quincy & Rainey story! Kinda had the bad guy figured out, then thought I was wrong, then I was right. Good twists and turns as usual! Hoping to see more of Kimberly and Mac in future series. ( )

FBI Profiler series #4 started slow, with a focus on Kimberly Quincy's FBI training at Quantico. Not as robust a character as Rainie or her father, we are quickly dragged into a dormant serial killer's awakening. Killing women in pairs, he leaves challenging clues with the first to point to the second, providing an opportunity to rescue her. Kimberly takes a leave from training and goes off to try to save a victim with the primary investigator from the earlier murders, a Georgia Bureau of Investigations detective. ( )

We meet Pierce Quincy whose specialty is profiling...and Rainie Connor, who are partners in a private investigating firm that the police have called in to help. The police are beginning to believe that there may be an inside implication. Not only that but this killer leaves clues on the body that points to the next victim. It's an interesting plot and a fantastic story but it did become bogged down with too many characters causing the reader to sometimes have to go back to see how that person fit into the storyline. I was slightly disappointed with the killers motive but that didn't distract from an otherwise well written and compelling adventure. ( )
