Best Yet! 'Critical Threat' - Extreme Measures 3 - by Lynette Eason

 


About the book:

Working with the son of a serial killer? That's a first.

FBI Special Agent Grace Billingsley tracks serial killers, using her skills as a psychiatrist and behavioral analyst to get dangerous people off the street and safely behind bars. But prison psychiatrist Sam Monroe knows that just because a killer is incarcerated doesn't mean they're not a threat. His own father, Peter, is a serial killer--in prison but certainly not out of Sam's life, as much as he wishes he was.

When bodies start showing up with startling similarities to Peter's MO, Sam and Grace are both called in to consult. They've met before, and though Grace thought they'd made a real connection, Sam ghosted her. They'll have to get past the awkwardness and mistrust to solve this case--especially because it's about to get personal.

My review:

This was my favorite yet by Lynette Eason and that's saying something as she's one of my favorite authors!  The ending blew me away!  I loved the investigation aspect of the story and the psychology of trying to figure out why a serial killer does what he does.  This had a good pace with some crazy moments for Grace thrown in here and there both on the personal front and the professional and then the suspense really amped up at the end along with some surprises.   Grace was really put through the ringer here and I admired how strong she was, especially learning that she had migraines to deal with on top of everything else!  There were some good conversations about the nature of good and evil and God's forgiveness and people's choices.  There was also some romance.  This felt like more of a stand-alone book than a book three but I've really been enjoying the rest of the series about Grace's friends so I highly recommend them and am excited about one more still coming!  I definitely recommend this one!

I received this book free from Revell.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
