ABOUT:
An edgy female police detective…An ambitious FBI special agent. Together they are at the heart of the ticking-clock investigation for a psychopathic serial killer. The bond they forge in this crucible sets the stage for high-stakes suspense.
Detective Kara Quinn, on leave from the LAPD, is on an early morning jog in her hometown of Liberty Lake when she comes upon the body of a young nurse. The manner of death shows a pattern of highly controlled rage. Meanwhile in DC, FBI special agent Mathias Costa is staffing his newly minted Mobile Response Team. Word reaches Matt that the Liberty Lake murder fits the profile of the compulsive Triple Killer. It will be the first case for the MRT. This time they have a chance to stop this zealous if elusive killer before he strikes again. But only if they can figure out who he is and where he is hiding before he disappears for another three years. The stakes are higher than ever before, because if they fail, one of their own will be next…
The Third To Die by Allison Brennan Review
There are some books that just grip you right from the very beginning and never let up! This story is one of those.
This is the first time I have read this author and even though this is part of a series, I didn’t feel overly lost with the story. There were some references to other people, places, and things, however, it did not distract or detract from the story itself.
I just fell in love with Kara. She’s a bit of a bad ass but knows her job very well. She was simply born to be a cop. I love her interactions with Matt. They are a wonderful team and the author has mastered the delicate balance between the two of them.
The story is very complex with the way that Brennan wrote this work. She gives hints of the suspect along the way. Dropping clues here and there for us to pick up.
This book is a race against time and the suspense factor ramps up as the clock ticks down. It will have you holding your breath as you feel your pulse increase with each page turn.
What a wild ride!!! Love this one and you will too if you enjoy a true crime murder mystery involving a serial killer. Not for the weak-hearted for sure, but sooo good! Intricate detail, loaded with action and suspense. Be prepared – It’s a very long story!
5 STARS!
