Say Goodbye
By Lisa Gardner

FBI Special Agent Kimberly Quincy stumbles into a case where a serial killer is preying on young prostitutes – easy prey, considering they’re hardly ever reporting missing. Makes it easy to kill again. And again.

Bringing to light the sick minds of child predators, this is one of those books that you want to put down at times just to get the pictures out of your mind. It’s that morbid curiosity like slowing down to look at the accident on the side of the road, you just have to see how it turned out.

Kimberly reminds me a bit of Eve Dallas from J.D. Robb’s In Death Series – which in my book, can only be a good thing. She’s sharp and independent and as tenacious as a pit bull, but still realizes her vulnerabilities from time to time.

The flashbacks into the mind of the killer keep you guessing as to where you are, who you’re with, and how you got there. Then toss in the realization that you sometimes feel bad for the killer. Oh, and the spiders just add to the creepiness factor. This book is very well done and will keep you up well past your bedtime.
