A thrilling new addition to the Brandon Fisher FBI series. I've been binge-watching police procedural shows lately, and this has been a perfect read for that. With a sniper on the loose, and kills stretching across the county, Fisher's team has their plates full. But as more comes to light, the past is dragged into the present, and you'll be on the edge of your seat waiting to see if they can catch the killer, while Fisher tries to deal with his past. ( )

Carolyn Arnold writes in multiple genres and her police procedurals are my favorites. She puts her characters in impossible situations and I always look forward to following the process to capture. Her stories remind me of Criminal Minds, and that is a very good thing. It makes it easy for me, along with Carolyn’s writing, to follow the process they go through to catch the criminal.

A sniper. A death. Is the sniper a hired gun? A vigilante? I am very curious. I love when I can relate to the villain, finding out their motivations for their actions, what drives them to do the evil that they do. It’s always the why for me.

Jack Harper and the rest of the BAU team are on the case. Each character has a unique personality and a history that drives them.

Brandon and Paige have a tenuous working relationship and Jack throws them together, time and time again. Brandon has problems with looking past the personal and dealing with the case. It strikes a little too close to home and the guilt that he carries. It’s his own fault. I want to slap him upside the heads. Can’t undo your Past Deeds, and they play a part in who you are now. May have you asking some questions of yourself. I love a thought provoking novel.

Kelly is new to the team, but not to Jack. Jack keeps the newbies close to him, working side by side. She questions herself and every word that comes out of her mouth, second guessing herself. I loved watching her grow confidence and learn what it means to be a member of the team. Her past gives her the ability to empathize with the unknown subject, which is a valuable tool.

I agree with Kelly’s thoughts about men in service. They deserve more than they get, once they come home. They are the forgotten heroes and the government doesn’t do enough for them when they are in need.

I love how Carolyn Arnold weaves reality with fiction, her ability to make me want to know the characters, want to watch them grow and struggle with their personal issues, along with the cases they work on.

As the search for the unknown subject continues, Carolyn Arnold creates a twist I didn’t see coming, a sickening twist, as the suspense builds and I read quicker. It saddens me. It can’t end good, but….the desire for the lost to be saved is still there for me.

The unknown subject is a soldier, on a mission. What happens when the mission is complete?

Past Deeds is a thought provoking story and my mind feeds on it. All our past experiences create the person we are today, but what if….

I voluntarily read an ARC of Past Deeds by Carolyn Arnold.
