Durante varios veranos, el terror se adueña de los residentes de Georgia cuando las temperaturas ascienden y el termómetro alcanza los cuarenta grados, porque con el implacable calor llega también un cruel asesino. En cada ocasión secuestra a dos muchachas y espera a que se descubra el primer cadáver: en él se hallan todas las pistas para encontrar a la segunda víctima, abocada a una muerte lenta pero certera. La policía nunca consigue llegar a tiempo y los cuerpos siempre se recuperan meses después, en lugares remotos y aislados. Tras tres años de inactividad, llega a Atlanta una fuerte ola de calor: es tiempo de matar... Y será Kimberly Quincy, estudiante de la Academia del FBI, quien tropiece con la primera víctima. Comienza la cuenta atrás. FBI Profiler series #4 started slow, with a focus on Kimberly Quincy's FBI training at Quantico. Not as robust a character as Rainie or her father, we are quickly dragged into a dormant serial killer's awakening. Killing women in pairs, he leaves challenging clues with the first to point to the second, providing an opportunity to rescue her. Kimberly takes a leave from training and goes off to try to save a victim with the primary investigator from the earlier murders, a Georgia Bureau of Investigations detective. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Skip the next paragraph if you don’t want to read the One-line SPOILER ALERT:
I read a lot. Not many books give me a real WTH moment. The Killing Hour gave me one of those moments, okay, maybe a couple of those. I mean really, a live snake sewed into a corpse? Freaking genius.
The Killing Hour is chalk full of twists, suspense, and crazy What the Hell moments. The story follows Kimberly, a troubled woman with a debilitating past, midway through her FBI training when she stumbles upon the body of a dead woman just off the training course at Quantico. TheEco-Killer has struck again.
The Eco-Killer, a serial murderer whose M.O. is kidnapping young women in pairs who are out on the town, kills one immediately with clues to the whereabouts of the other, leaving the second woman in what is described as a “B-rated horror movie” setting, to see if she can (1) find her way out, or (2) be found before she succumbs to the elements.
As Kimberly and her by-chance partner, Mac, race the clock using the clues left by the killer to save one young woman, they come upon horrendous discoveries and face treacherous landscapes.
The Killing Hour moves so fast you won’t even know you are through reading it. An un-put-downable book if ever there was one.
Well done, Lisa Gardner.
