This first introduction to Maggie O'Dell was superb. I really enjoyed this book, and it got me into the series of O'Dell books. Currently working my way through #8.

This was a really intense, dark story of a serial killer praying on small children, in a small town.

When the convicted killer is found not to be the perpetrator, Nick Morelli- the local sheriff, must work with Maggie O'Dell- an FBI behavioural analyst, in solving the mystery before it claims another young life.

Really good. Edge of your seat at times. I definitely recommend. :)

Really suspenseful book - the 1st in the Maggie O'Dell series. O'Dell is an FBI profiler brought in after a boy was killed in small-town Nebraska. The scenes can be gruesome, but that's to be expected given the crimes. The book shines a harsh light on the depravity and cruelty humans are capable of. The characters are flawed but that just keeps it more realistic.
Looking forward to reading more of the series, but I feel the need to read lighter fares in between, just to keep things balanced.

How have I never read Alex Kava before? Can’t wait to get my hands on the next one.

I could have done without the declaration of love after a week, but this was an enjoyable crime novel regardless.

Though anyone can guess who the killer is as soon as he is introduced this book is worth a read with a good twist in the plot every now & then.
