Lädt ... Maidens of the Cave: A Novel (Stone Maidens Book 2)von Lloyd Devereux Richards
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  SilversReviews | Aug 5, 2023 |   The author takes us inside the head of the killer and inside the head of FBI agent Christine Prusik who is a highly motivated forensic anthropologist with no patience for the bureaucracy of the Chicago field office and its petty politics. At issue is her persistence in investigating a series of peculiar murders with a definite signature despite push-back from her superiors. This has escalating urgency, suspense that just keeps ratcheting up, and some really recognizable characters. Fantastic. I requested and received an EARC from William Morrow via NetGalley. Thank you!

Christine is told that she has no business investigating the deaths of two young women on a college campus because it is out of the FBI’s jurisdiction, but she doesn’t care. She cares about making sure there isn’t another victim.
She ignores orders from her supervisor to be at a meeting in person and to have some profile completed and turned in. Of course, Christine doesn’t listen...she has leads and is going to catch this serial killer.
The biggest clue is that there is a ring-sized mark on both victims which to her indicates these cases are related and that the killer is educated, clever, cunning, and very evil.
Christine is a likable character in this second book, and a book I was perfectly fine starting with. It is readable as a stand alone.
I was a little skeptical at first thinking this was going to be all about FBI procedure, but was pleased when that went on the back burner and the search for the killer took over.
True crime buffs will enjoy this book that has descriptive writing and a story line that keeps you turning the pages.
The conclusion is edge-of-your-seat. 5/5
This book was given to me by the publisher for an honest review. (
