“Silence of the Lambs, move over. Eleven is an absolutely stunning performance.” – Goodreads reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In this international bestseller, rookie FBI Agent Brandon Fisher takes on his first case with the Behavioral Analysis Unit, but will he survive long enough to catch the killer? Eleven is a fast-paced, spine-tingling thriller that will have you gasping for breath at every twist…
Eleven Rooms. Ten Bodies. One Empty Grave.
When Brandon Fisher joined the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit, he knew he’d come up against psychopaths, sociopaths, pathological liars, and more. But when his first case takes him and the team to Salt Lick, Kentucky, to hunt down a ritualistic serial killer, he learns what nightmares are truly made of.
Beneath a residential property, local law enforcement discovered an underground bunker with circular graves that house the remains of ten victims. But that’s not all: there’s an empty eleventh grave, just waiting for a corpse. The killing clearly hasn’t come to an end yet, and with the property owner already behind bars, Brandon is certain there’s an apprentice who roams free.
As the FBI follows the evidence across the United States, Brandon starts to struggle with the deranged nature of his job description. And if the case itself isn’t going to be enough to push Brandon over the edge, he’s working in the shadow of Supervisory Special Agent Jack Harper, who expects nothing short of perfection from his team. To make matters even worse, it seems Brandon has become the target of a psychotic serial killer who wants to make him—or his wife—victim number eleven.
Join the hundreds of thousands of readers who have already taken the plunge into a series that will take you into the minds of the most heinous and disturbing serial killers the world could ever imagine. Buy this international bestselling book today and hunt a serial killer alongside the FBI!

Generally when reading, I have one favorite character that supersedes all the others, but in Eleven I'm enthralled by two of the well-developed Fibbies (literally and physically). I developed protective, nurturing feelings for the young Special Agent Brandon Fisher, but his Supervisory Special Agent Jack Harper kept leaping to the forefront, vying for my affection.
You see, Brandon--as the youngest, newest member of the Behavioral Analysis Unit--is in a probation period, working under Jack's direction and in his shadow. The senior agent is a tough, experienced, no-nonsense man who is rough on the new member, but all for proper training and keeping all his agents alive. It's his duty to justify making Brandon's job permanent.
The book gripped me from the first page when I joined the main characters in the small town of Salt Lick, Kentucky where horrific crimes have been committed. The remains of ten victims are found, buried in an underground bunker in a complex arrangement of plots and tunnels. The agents are aghast at discovering an eleventh grave, exactly like the others--yet empty. The number eleven has significance in the case and it's up to them to find out what and why. It's evident they're dealing with a psychopath with unfinished business, so the team goes into overdrive to find the "unsub" and stop him before he reaches his eleventh victim.
It's Brandon's first truly gruesome case and he has uncanny suspicions that his life may never return to normal. He is an intelligent, analytical thinker and begins to formulate his own theories, as his job requires. He's frustrated because Jack constantly rebukes him, on the one hand, while on the other hand encouraging him to express his opinions.
Why is Jack so hard on Brandon? And how does he react when Brandon begins to think that he, himself, could be the eleventh victim? What leads Brandon to suspect this? Do his fellow agents believe him? Why does the killer think Brandon is a sinner who must be punished? How do several small-town law officers and a priest figure into Arnold's brilliant thriller? And how does Paige, the lone female agent, help Brandon...and at what cost to herself?
A big question in this book is: How could these murders be happening in the same manner when their prime suspect is in jail? But the biggest question of all is: Exactly what does the number eleven mean to the killer?
All these questions and more will be answered by this prolific author as she deftly weaves an astounding story that eventually leads to a very satisfying conclusion, detailing the significance of the number eleven and much more.
Carolyn Arnold is adept at all the skills that make a masterpiece of writing: believable dialogue, spot-on pacing, fast action and great character development. I feel like I'm right inside the action, inside the characters' heads. It's important to me that I not only enjoy reading a book for entertainment but I that I also care what happens to the characters.
Another truly remarkable feature of Eleven is the author's superior knowledge of proper crime scene technique and her mastery of the FBI's in-house vernacular.
Having read Ties That Bind (A Madison Knight Novel) in Arnold's unrelated series, I've come to realize that one doesn't just read this author's stories, one experiences them! Eagerly awaiting the second in this series, "Justified," which is due out before Christmas.
Eleven leaves me with a question of my own: Who will play the roles of Brandon, Jack and Paige when the movie comes out? Humm... (As Jack Harper is so fond of saying, much to Brandon Fisher's dismay.)
ENDNOTE FROM REVIEWER: This is my 713th review and I notice the individual numbers total ELEVEN! Should I be frightened? :-)

Author of "1106 Grand Boulevard" and other books
The mystery, as are all of Carolyn Arnold's tales, is complex and well hidden. Our serial killer is homed in Salt Lick, Kentucky. Tiny and insular, it was hard to imagine that many folks just up and gone over the years and that too added to my four-star review. As a community it is interesting and the folks are personable. I felt completion with the tale as it ended, except for one question - what did they do with all that dirt?!
Carolyn Arnold’s novels read like Criminal Minds episodes. I love how she breaks down the crimes and the criminals, taking us through the process, step by step, clue by clue. And this is one mystery that keeps on giving. I was super creeped out early and it never stopped. I wonder where Carolyn came up with the idea for Eleven. Is she smoking something?
Salt Lick. Kentucky. Underground. Creepaliciously gruesome and I feel chills running up and down my spine just writing this.
Eleven, the symbol of purity, but I sure don’t see it here.
Focus, analyze, and be objective is what is required and Brandon is thankful for the training that allowed him to do exactly that, especially in the current circumstances. This is Brandon’s first case with the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI. His coworkers ride him, calling him Kid, Pending and Slingshot.
We watch Brandon grow and learn as he works under Jack, a Supervisory Special Agent. Danger strikes too close for comfort, but he slowly learns to keep control of his emotions, or he would be useless to the investigation. His first case, and it is a horrific one.
WOW…I am only at 28% and the story is so intense, I wonder how I will make it to the end. Do I cheat and peak? NO! Don’t do it. It would ruin everything. It is the anticipation, the awful, sickening journey that makes it all worthwhile. I will savor the threats and danger. I will crawl around underground with them…there go those shivers again.
There is so much more of the story to come, I can’t imagine what surprises are in store for me, but Carolyn’s ability to write with suspense and make her characters seem so real that at times I forget this isn’t a true story, is one journey I know I won’t regret..
The killer they are looking for is just out of reach. They will get there, but will it be in time? There is more than one life at stake.
Stories and scenes that happen underground really freak me out. I shivered and cringed my way to the end and loved every minute of it! If you love mystery, thrills and suspense of the highest caliber, this is a must read and Carolyn Arnold is an author you want to follow. I anticipate many more horrific stories to come. Bring it on, Carolyn!
“You have one great weakness.”
“You’re too positive.”

Top reviews from other countries
The amount of research Carolyn would have done in order to write this book is visible from the attention to detail prevalent in the story. The overall plot is interesting, but the way it concludes is disappointing. You just do not end a mystery thriller the way it happens in this one. The climax is unfair, and does not do justice to the readers. (You'll have to either read the book or look for reviews that contain spoilers to understand my outrage as I am not in the habit of putting up spoilers in my reviews).
The fictional character Brandon Fisher appears to be incomplete. The story fails to throw enough light on his character as a whole, and the readers are left with a vague sense of understanding even after the book is over. I'd never hire Brandon if it were up to me!
Will I read the next book in the Brandon Fisher series? I have no plans to do so right now. The character has clearly failed to impress me.
Verdict: Not a bad read; not an excellent one either.
The main character, Brandon, is a new graduate in the FBI Behavioural Sciences division on his first case with Supervisory Agent Jack, and fellow special agents Paige and Zachary. There's not a huge amount of character development for any of them if honest. They're there and, along with IT Guru Nadia, that's pretty much all you can say.
The author does give each a foible. Jacks a chain smoker, Paige does a lot of throaty laughter and hair tossing; Brandon's newness leaves him vulnerable to criticism and Zachary is a no-it-all who speed reads and has a photographic memory. From a readers perspective I don't think it's really necessary to constantly remind the reader of this. Once or twice is enough. I actually lost count of the amount of references to smoking, or wanting to, there were so many of them.
My major complaint with Eleven was the editing, or lack thereof. The story could have done with a solid edit. There were many times I had to stop and re-read clunky sentences, or replace grammar in my head. Good editing would also have taken care of the repetitions. I lost track of how many times Brandon was called kid, or slingshot.
Over all though Eleven was enjoyable. It reminded me of Criminal Minds fan fiction, I must say.
