Mind Games (Kaely Quinn Profiler, #1) by Nancy Mehl

 

Kaely Quinn's talents as an FBI behavior analyst are impossible to ignore, no matter how unorthodox her methods. But when a reporter outs her as the daughter of an infamous serial killer, she's demoted to field agent and transferred to St. Louis.

When the same reporter who ruined her career claims to have received an anonymous poem predicting a string of murders, ending with Kaely's, the reporter's ulterior motives bring his claim into question. But when a body is found that fits the poem's predictions, the threat is undeniable, and the FBI sends Special Agent Noah Hunter to St. Louis.

Initially resentful of the assignment, Noah is surprised at how quickly his respect for Kaely grows, despite her oddities. But with a brazen serial killer who breaks all the normal patterns on the loose, Noah and Kaely are tested to their limits to catch the murderer before anyone else--including Kaely herself--is killed.

My Review

This book quickly became a riveting page turner and most of what happens I never saw coming.
If you enjoy a suspenseful murder mystery, boy is this book for you, and you won’t be disappointed. This story is about an FBI behavior analyst and her uncanny gifts, a little odd to many, but she sure gets the job done.
Surprises abound and you will be changing your mind as to whom the culprit is several times, and even when you really find out, what a bomb shell.
Now I found amazements right up to the last page of this read, and I never would have guess!

I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
