“BRENNAN [IS] A MASTER.”

—Associated Press

With a background in psychology, FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid is good at getting into the heads of killers and victims both. Still, her latest case is leaving her stumped. A third body has turned up in San Antonio—and it bears the same unique and troubling M.O. as the first two. The killer is clearly trying to send a message. But what is it—and to whom? All roads keep leading Lucy down a dead end. . .

“CAN’T-PUT-IT-DOWN SUSPENSE.”—Fresh Fiction

The victims are all married men who led honest lives alongside their adoring wives, but have nothing else in common. When Lucy catches each widow in a lie, she realizes that things are not at all as they seem. What begins as a seemingly straightforward investigation turns into something far darker and more sinister than Lucy could have ever imagined. Can she solve this case before more lives are lost. . . including her own husband?

Editorial Reviews

04/01/2019

Bestseller Brennan’s workmanlike 15th mystery featuring FBI agent Lucy Kincaid (after 2018’s Too Far Gone) teams Lucy, who has been with the bureau for less than two years, with Jerry Walker, a veteran San Antonio, Tex., sheriff’s deputy, on a particularly baffling serial killer case. The murderer’s most recent victim, chef Julio Garcia, was beaten before being shot in the face. The location of the gunshot wound, and the details of the beatings—Garcia’s hands were smashed, and he was hit in the stomach and groin—match those of the two previous victims. Walker, who harbors a deep resentment toward the FBI based on a botched kidnapping case 10 years earlier, denigrates Lucy’s limited experience, and is skeptical that profiling will be of any use in the investigation. Predictably, the professional relationship thaws as Lucy proves her worth, and the pair interview the dead men’s survivors in an effort to find any possible motive connecting the killings. Though nothing distinguishes the leads from similar characters in other comparable whodunits, a clever twist on a classic golden-age plot device more than compensates. Agent: Dan Conaway, Writers House. (Apr.)

Publishers Weekly

Narrator Ann Marie Lee does an excellent job of emphasizing the tension between FBI agent Lucy Kincaid and an old-school police officer who distrusts the FBI. As Kincaid applies her keen psychological skills to the case featured in this police procedural, Lee emphasizes the two investigators’ different approaches. She also rises to the challenge of creating strong personalities for the wide cast of characters, which, given the multiple protagonists in both the main plot and the strong subplot, is no mean feat. Notably, Lee increases the intensity and pace of her narration as the audiobook progresses, keeping the listener engaged right to the end. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
