Summary

The two corpses are mutilated. Naked. Frozen solid. It’s only a matter of time before the killer strikes again.

With no evidence, no leads, and no clues, the local PD has no choice but to call in the FBI.

Enter FBI recruit Chase Adams. While she may be new to the Bureau, Chase is no rookie when it comes to murder. First a narcotics officer in Seattle, then an NYPD detective, Chase has insight into the workings of some of the most demented minds of our society.

But this case will push even Chase to the limits - it’s like nothing she has investigated before. The killer has no MO. No particular victim type. No signature other than sheer brutality.

When a third body surfaces across the country, Chase realizes that she is on the hunt for a killer whose murder spree knows no boundaries.

What sort of animal could commit such atrocities? And why?

Chase fears that these murders are only the beginning. But what she doesn’t know is that as she closes in on the murderer, he’s closing in on her.

And her family.

This might be FBI recruit Chase Adams’ first case, but if she doesn’t catch the killer soon, it may also be her last.

A brutal, fast-paced serial killer thriller perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter, Robert Bryndza, L. T. Vargus, Tim McBain, and Taylor Adams.

Story is ok, narration is abysmal.

The reader has a horribly irritating voice and reads so fast that it’s difficult to follow. She does character voices poorly. This is one of the worst narrators I’ve listened to.

I would strongly suggest you read this book instead of listening to the audible version.

Lacking realism

Whilst the narrator did a good a job of reading the story with a voice that draws the listener in, this could not detract from what is a poor serial killer story. The characters were poor and to a degree stereotypical, but Chase is just to unbelievable. It appears she is a former detective who has applied to join the FBI, and she gets a call in the middle of the night telling her to fly to Anchorage in Alaska for which she packs no warm winter coat, it also appears that she has had no FBI training as she is totally unaware of expected protocols of working practices.
Her partner and all the other cops she meets are male and seem to be doing their best to ignore her and treat as a second class investigator. She seems to have some sort of psychic vision when she touches the bodies of the victims which are neither properly explored or explained but this enables her to point the authorities in the right direction, then just as she is trying to convince her partner and the local sheriff they have the wrong man in custody she's ordered to fly to Boston for another case.
All this time she is getting no response from either her husband or FBI contact and whilst she thinks this is strange is not as alarmed as one would expect. We get flash backs in her own life to her young sister being taken by a man in a van and her work as an undercover narcotics detective where she gets into taking heroin to forget about her sister, and the implication in the epilogue is that she is still taking drugs, how we are supposed to believe she could pass FBI medicals and drug tests is beyond me.
The ending of the book is rushed and somewhat disappointing and doesn't provide much of a twists or any surprising revelation.
All in all disappointing and I for one will not be return to Patrick Logan's other works.

awful narration

Can't comment on story much, I tried to listen to this at two different points but the narration is bad. can't continue with it, too fast, no character connection, not engaging.

Dreadful!

The narrator spoils what may have been a good read but I couldn’t stand it any longer
