Karen Vail, FBI profiler is on vacation and soon joins the police in helping to track down a serial killer. The killer's signature is cutting off a toenail. As Karen gets closer to solving the case, her life is endangered when the room where she is staying is set on fire. This book ends in a cliff hanger, so you will go on to the next book. ( ) Ok, I said I wouldn't read any other Karen Vail novels, but I downloaded this before reading the first one. All was going well until I started to hit inconsistancies and obvious "things women never do or say"...not to mention the "conversations men think women have." Number one on the list of things women never do: call themselves by their last names. I can't even explain how annoying it is that the author refers to his character as "Vail" all the time. On top of a bunch of little things that annoy is the coup de grâce: leaving a dangling end followed by a "buy my next novel" in a grating, smug, self-aggrandizing tone. If it weren't for the total cliff-hanger at the end, I would have given this book 5 stars. I did read the reviews prior to reading the book, but I expected at least a little resolution. I immediately read Velocity and enjoyed it. As long as you view the two books as two halves of the whole and read both, it is a great book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Appartiene alle SerieKaren Vail (2) È contenuto in
In the USA Today-bestselling author's "addictive second Karen Vail thriller," the FBI profiler tracks a serial killer through California wine country (Publishers Weekly). In this follow-up to the standout bestseller The 7th Victim, Karen Vail ventures to Napa Valley, where a serial killer has been crushing his victims' windpipes and leaving their bodies in caves. But when the Crush Killer learns that an FBI profiler has joined the Major Crimes Task Force, the newfound attention emboldens him, and he sets in motion a plan that wreaks havoc on the town--as well as the task force. Although a sudden break in the case helps Vail zero in on the identity of the killer, she senses that something isn't right. If she doesn't figure it out in time, the consequences will be dire. In a rousing climax that leaves readers breathless, and which Publishers Weekly termed a "shockeroo ending," Vail must pick up the pieces--and clean up the carnage left behind by the Crush Killer. Meticulously researched during years of work with the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, this high-velocity thriller from national bestselling author Alan Jacobson features the kind of edge-of-your-seat ending that inspired Nelson DeMille to call Jacobson "a hell of a writer." Crush is the first installment of a two-part story that concludes with Velocity, book three in the Karen Vail Series. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
