and I am going to read the other 2 just as fast as I can order them. This is a fast paced novel, police procedure with overtones of the FBI profilers only they are called mindhunters in this book and there was a movie by the same name starring William Peterson. All are excellent. Getting inside the head of a serial killer takes an unusual talent and gift and this girl has it and more. I will not depict the plot here, others have already done it better than I, but the fast pacing, excellent plotting and daredevil action cannot be beat. Sit down, settle down and enjoy a rollicking good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Let the Dead Stay Asleep, April 13, 2010

This review is from: Waking the Dead (Mindhunters) (Mass Market Paperback)

I wondered if I read the same book the others readers read. The only reason I gave it four stars is because I didn't see the option for 3.5 stars. The characters were likable enough and there was a twist or two. My gripe is that there was so much technical stuff. It seemed to go on and on and on. Waking the Dead didn't get my motor running until after page 200 or so. I read the first book and really enjoyed it. I'm a bit hesitant about book three or the one that I haven't read.

5.0 out of 5 stars terrific romantic suspense thriller, November 7, 2009

This review is from: Waking the Dead (Mindhunters) (Mass Market Paperback)

In Oregon's Willamette Forest, nature guide Zach Sharper finds seven garbage bags in a remote part of the wilderness in a cave on Castle Rock where you would not expect any trash. He takes a peek and finds each contains bones that he knows from his Ranger days are human remains although none contain a skull. He calls the authorities.

Sheriff Marin Andrews asks Raiker Forensics for help in identifying the bodies. They send former model turned forensic anthropologist Caitlin Fleming to investigate. Sheriff Andrews hires Zach to guide and protect Caitlin into the wilderness. He reluctantly escorts Caitlin deep into what seems to her the primeval forest to the cave on Castle Rock. Every step they take the pair argues safety vs. catching one killer plus an apparent partner or accessory; either way a diabolically brilliant predator.

The latest Mindhunters romantic suspense thriller (see WAKING NIGHTMARE and WAKING EVIL) is a terrific entry as the investigation supersedes the romance; both want one another but know survival comes before seeing where their relationship goes. Zach is a super guide who takes the heroine and readers to a remote part of Oregon while Cait is a fabulous forensic anthropologist due to a fascinating former career as a model. Fans will enjoy climbing Willamette Forest with this couple.
