Oh brother! Really? Not in any car I've ever driven in. Every time, the policeman moved the gear shift, his hand unintentionally stroked the profiler's thigh. The policeman and the profiler, rode in a car together. What I disliked the most was the relationship between the main characters, policeman (male) and profiler (female). A newly divorced mom with a sweet-as-pie little boy, who is waiting for her big break at the local newspaper. A secretary who wears tight sweaters and is sweet on the boss. A loud-mouth dad and his son, who just can't confront him (although he can be the police chief). As it is, I would rate is 'acceptable.' The characters are shallow and cliched. I'll definitely give this author another try, but I need and ending to my books, seems too much like a daytime soap opera otherwise!!Ī so-so story with shallow portraits of women Then the book ends without a satisfactory ending. A bit to pat for me, though there was a lot of potential for a great story line. Her profile predicts someone that no one else believes is the killer.

In comes Maggie O'Dell, with romantic and sexual tension, which doesn't feel original to the story. With these new murderers, it seems somebody in his father's department planted evidence, as the convicted murderer killed one boy as a copy cat killer, but two more were killed by someone else. He's a law school graduate, but his father talked him into this job. Nick Morrelli has become sheriff after his father's retirement, but his heart really isn't in the job. Small boys are being ritualistically murdered, but someone was already executed for murdering three boys in the same way. There was a lot of exciting writing and thrilling situations, but in many ways it felt like a story already told. I have many mixed feelings about this first Maggie O'Dell FBI profiler thriller.

And the terrible truth begins to become clear.Potential great thriller-bit like soap opera!! When another victim is found and a third kidnapped, Nick and Maggie realize they're running out of time. The picture of someone who has already been executed for his crimes. And with the help of a small-town sheriff who is clearly out of his depths, Maggie starts to put together the gruesome picture of a killer. Knowing he needs help, he calls in one of the FBI's best criminal profilers, Maggie O'Dell. Sheriff Nick Morrelli isn't equipped to deal with this case that is terrorizing the small, close-knit community of Platte City, Nebraska. Is there a copycat killer on the loose? Or is this the real thing? Three months later, another body is found, killed in the same style as Jeffreys' victims. He went to his grave with a terrible truth no one would listen to. On July 17, convicted serial killer Ronald Jeffreys was executed for three heinous murders.
