Chargement... Edge of Midnight (2013)par Leslie Tentler
   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) kbranfield | Feb 3, 2020 |  4 Stars Crime reporter Mia Hale is the latest victim of the sadistic serial killer known as The Collector. She is also the only one to escape his clutches, but much to the chagrin of law enforcement, has no memory of her abduction. FBI profiler, Eric MacFarlane, has personal reasons for wanting to capture The Collector and knows that Mia is the key. As the two work together and the killer sets his sights on Mia once again, Eric swears to protect her even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice. Series note: None of the characters in the Chasing evil trilogy are connected and each of the books can be read as standalones. An intense psychological thriller with likable characters and a satisfying romance. Eric and Mia are both well-developed characters with interesting backstories that contribute to understanding both Eric's obsession with The Collector and Mia's determination with contributing to the investigation. Eric and Mia have solid chemistry and their romance is more believable than in the first two installments, although like Tentler's other stories in the series, the heroine is more emotionally attached than the hero. In terms of the mystery, the villain is exceedingly brutal and sadistic. His identity is revealed early on and readers are given his POV, which ratchets up the tension and suspense without undermining the procedural elements. There are one or two moments that require a healthy suspension of disbelief, but these do not minimize the overall effect of the mystery or the romance. In sum, a well-written and exciting story with just the right mix of action, suspense and romance.

"A smooth prose style and an authentic Big Easy vibe distinguish Tentler's debut...the shivers are worthy of a Lisa Jackson.".

HTML: The writer becomes the story when crime reporter Mia Hale is discovered on a Jacksonville beach--bloodied and disoriented, but alive. She remembers nothing, but her wounds bear the signature of a sadistic serial killer. After years lying dormant, The Collector has resumed his grim hobby: abducting women and taking gruesome souvenirs before dumping their bodies. But none of his victims has ever escaped--and he wants Mia back, more than he ever wanted any of the others. FBI agent Eric MacFarlane has pursued The Collector for a long time. The case runs deep in his veins, bordering on obsession...and Mia holds the key. She'll risk everything to recover her memory and bring the madman to justice, and Eric swears to protect this fierce, fragile survivor. But The Collector will not be denied. In his mind, he knows just how their story ends. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
