Publisher's summary

The New York Times and Washington Post bestselling serial-killer thriller that will leave you wondering, is the past really in the past?

Three Chicago women have been found strangled, embalmed, and posed as if still alive. Doubting the findings of the local PD’s profiler, the FBI calls on forensic psychologist Zoe Bentley to investigate.

Zoe quickly gets off on the wrong foot with her new partner, Special Agent Tatum Gray. Zoe’s a hunter, intense and focused; Tatum’s a smug maverick with little respect for the rules. Together, they must descend into a serial killer’s psyche and untangle his twisted fantasies, or more women will die. But when the contents of three inconspicuous envelopes reveal a chilling connection to gruesome murders from Zoe’s childhood, suddenly the hunter becomes the hunted.

Pretty Good. *Spoiler Alert*

This story kept me listening, although I found myself rolling my eyes with exasperation more than once. The main character refusing to tell her partner or superiors crucial information she has first hand knowledge of, is utterly ridiculous. Also, the stereotypical actions of the superiors not believing their more highly educated, qualified and experienced underlings is pretty maddening. The narration is OK. Not great, but not the worst I’ve heard, although the main character is supposed to be from Massachusetts and the narrator seems to forget that. Her bad Boston accent goes in and out, and usually feels like a forced afterthought when it is there. It was a little annoying but not completely distracting. All in all, it was ok. Not great, but pretty OK. I would listen to more from Dick Omer.

It will scare you to death!

First I have to start off with saying that this book was given to me for free to read and to leave a review, this does not affect my perception nor my review of the book at all, as I am always truthful and honest in my reviews.

I had not heard about Mike Omer before getting this book, but you can guarantee that I will follow him religiously from now on.

Brittany Pressley did an amazing job of performing this book and she creates the fear, the horror, and the sheer emotion that the writer wanted the reader to feel.

This was a great overall book. The characters, place, scenarios all connected and it was a great story.

couldn't stop listening

I don't write many reviews even though I consume 2-3 audiobooks a month but I had to say something about this one. First the narrator, excellent performance (I think I'm in love). Delivers the perfect tone for the characters. Second, the story. Very engaging as you're solving the puzzle along with them. This was highly entertaining and looking forward to another book from Mike Omer and of course will be looking out for more listening pleasures from my new love, Brittany Presley.

Wow! Just wow!

I typically don’t read thrillers. But I’ve heard of this author and knew he was a good writer so I decided to give this genre a try. Mercy!! It was so good and exceptionally well written. Keep you stranded on the edge until the very end. I cannot wait to get my hands on book two.
