About this listen

You’ll never view odd numbers the same way again!

When a key witness in an organized crime trial turns up dead in his kitchen with liar and the number two scrawled on his forehead, the FBI assumes the murder was a hit to silence him. Then the calls start coming in - more victims with similar markings and no connection to the mob.

As agents Victoria Heslin and Dante Rivera struggle to catch a break in the case, they receive a series of cryptic personal messages from the killer, complicating the investigation. Something disturbing and frightening is underway, and anyone might be next, including the agents, unless they uncover the common denominator.

Best-selling author Jenifer Ruff delivers a gripping, new psychological thriller that will appeal to fans of The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn as well as serial killer favorites like The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris and Kiss the Girls by James Patterson.

A number one hit

I enjoyed this book it was unusual to know who the killer was but it worked well and helped build up the suspense. The story is told from from a number of perspectives, the main two being the killer and the FBI agent hunting the killer down. I liked the characters and the way they work out what was going on. The touch of romance added spice to the story without getting in the way of solving the case.
Agent Heslin is called in when the star witness in an organised crime trail is found dead but would a hitman really leave a calling card? And why number two? Who is number one and will there be more ? These are just a few of the question Heslin and her partner Rivera must answer if they stand a chance of catching the killer. Then another body is found with another number and this time a message directed personally to the agents themselves. This victim has no connection to organised crime and the pair struggle to come up with a connection. Does someone have a list and just how many people are on it?
I liked the narrator and could always tell which character was talking making it an enjoyable story to listen to. I will be looking out for the next book in the series.

Couldn’t listen to this - readers voice extremely annoying!

Couldn’t get past the first couple of chapters...that voice, no way Jose!! Maybe I’ll try reading it myself.
