Elaina McCord is on her first real case as an FBI agent sorting through the evidence of a serial killer operating out of a Texas resort town. Troy Stockton is a womanizing true-crime writer who is looking to rectify a mistake he made in a previous book featuring one of the murders in this current serial killer's work. Troy was featured in the previous book in the series, so his character has already been established prior to the beginning of this story. Elaina uses her talents as a profiler to help local law enforcement solve the case, but she runs into chauvinism at every turn until she finally bullies her way into the investigation. Many clues and information make this an interesting mystery. Also some of the Tracers from the Delphi group become part of this story. My only complaint is that the author gives us too much information about the killer midway through the book, but there is still a nice twist at the end when the killer and his motive are finally revealed. A good second book in this series. Elaina, a junior FBI agent, is sent to Lito Island, where the bodies of two murdered young women have been found. Elaina believes she can link the killings to a murder some years ago, a murder a now incarcerated man confessed to. Elaina is not taken seriously by the local police. Enter Troy (from the first novel). Troy writes true crime books, including one covering the historic murder, in which he was convinced by the now-perhaps-false-confession. Because Troy lives locally, drives a Porsche, and has invested in the Tracers' crime lab, he seems to be allowed to tag along on police/FBI business and is privy to all their confidential information. Elaina plugs away, even though all the other (male) officers/agents despise her and her ideas, and she and Troy crack the case. I liked Troy, although his vow never to commit to a woman (which might have been in the first book actually) seems to have fallen by the wayside unremarked in the space of about a week. It was hard to see what he and Elaina really had in common - they never talked much, apart from about the case. As another reviewer has pointed out, there was a lot about the killer and his motivations and methods which went undiscussed. We never really revisited Elaina's unsub profile to see how accurate it was. I'm still enjoying these though and they are a quick read. From Amazon: Elaina McCord’s dream of being an FBI profiler is threatened by her very first case—investigating a string of murders near a Texas beach resort. The victims, all young women, were drugged and brutally murdered, their bodies abandoned in desolate marshland. Elaina’s hunch—met with disbelief by local police—is that these are only the latest offerings from a serial killer who has been perfecting his art for years, growing bolder and more cunning with each strike. True-crime writer Troy Stockton has a reputation as an irresistible playboy who gets his story at any cost. He’s the last person Elaina should trust, let alone be attracted to. But right now Troy, along with the elite team of forensics experts known as the Tracers, is her only ally in a case that’s turning dangerously personal. A killer is reaching out to Elaina, taunting her, letting her know how ruthless he is and how close he’s getting. Now it’s not just her career that’s in jeopardy—it’s her life. My Thoughts: Unspeakable was a wonderfully paced book that hooked me from the first page. I never saw who the killer was until the very end. The author did a grand job of keeping you guessing. It was well-thought out and while the crimes were gruesome, the detail was not enough to upset the faint of heart and stomach. I also enjoyed the characters . I loved how the author layered her main character's development. There was enough romance for those that like this in their novels but it didn't overshadow the mystery aspect. If you enjoy your romantic suspense, then you will diffidently want to check out this series. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
