Summary

Forensic linguist Macy Reid is an expert on kidnapping, having been abducted when she was a child. So, she is the perfect investigator to be called in when a Denver tycoon's 11-year-old daughter is abducted - for the second time. But Macy's biggest stumbling block may be a member of her own team: Kellan Burke, the wise-cracking, rule-breaking investigator who relishes getting under Macy's skin - and who just may be the man to help her confront the demons from her past.

Skip the sex scenes

An interesting, convoluted detective tale that kept me listening. This was the fourth book in the Mindhunters series that I’ve enjoyed on the Audible Plus (free) catalogue. All well read with good variation in accents. HOWEVER, the heavy sex scenes and romance trope cliches spoil rather than enhance the narrative. I agree with other reviewers who thought the combination of sex and forensics/detection didn’t work. Thank goodness Audible has a fast forward button.

Snow blind?

Found the male MCs sexual innudendos tiresome and unsettling. Men who say stuff like that don't get "cured". It's ingrained in them. So the female MCs aversion to him at the start (especially with her history of pedos) was natural; but for her to accept it, condone it and allow him nearer was very odd. To have such a man involved in an investigation involving pedos also seems odd. What with the flaws in the plot: ie the blabber mouthed hunter with the useless hunting dog that didn't go up to the child who was near enough to be seen by the hunter, is perculiar. This is the first book in this series I haven't enjoyed. The cliff-hanger is tiresome. MEH

Grrrrrr!

Great book but leaving the ending so open spoiled it for me which is why I've giving it 4 out of 5 for the story.

Great story

But the patronising fake English accent , for the character Maci , was absolutely awful,
But persevered as a pretty good story,
The American throng , being a flip flop, pants being trousers , could have been misleading.

Enjoyable

Engrossing from start to finish. My one criticism would be that when the scene changes there’s no space or other indication that it had changed, so that was initially confusing but I got used to it.

Poor

Emotional unavailable forensics woman, due to being a victim of a crime meets cheeky “bad boy” forensics colleague. She finally opens up for him. Steamy scene, Solve case.

Exactly as previous books with minor differences.

I was stupid enough to buy the 3 books as part of a 2 for 1 promotion.

Best in the series since the original

Definitely an improvement on the last book of the series... I would say it is almost as good as Waking Nightmare. Well paced, great dialogue and more interesting characters. Even the inevitable romance that is all too ubiquitous in Brant's writing is far better presented. It feels like it develops more organically and realistically. The crime story is more engaging and although, nothing too original, it is just well delivered and interesting.

The lead is yet another tough, uber talented woman with a traumatic back story, but at this point it seems to be Brant's trademark. The other protagonist, her love interest is far more fleshed out and interesting than the ones in her previous books.
I liked that the mysterious/legendary Adam Raker actually has a large part to play in this book, unlike the other books where he only features in throw away phone calls or just appears at the end.

The best part of this book for me is the interaction between the hostage taker and the little girl he has abducted. The writing for these two is really unique and intriguing.

Needless to say, Pinchot does an amazing job (maybe not with a posh English accent though).

What an exciting story

That was riveting and the fact that it will continue makes it more enjoyable. The storyline made me chuckle as always at the repartee of the characters. Let’s have more
