A Forgotten Kill

Daniela Vega, Book 2

De: Isabella Maldonado

Narrado por: Almarie Guerra, Feodor Chin

An FBI agent tracks a brilliant serial killer in New York—right back to her own cold-blooded past in a riveting thriller by the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Cipher.

FBI Special Agent Daniela “Dani” Vega was seventeen when her mother murdered her father. Ten years after Dani’s own damning eyewitness testimony sealed her mother’s fate, she’s starting to have doubts. What if she got it all wrong?

A veteran NYPD homicide detective agrees to reopen the closed case on one condition—Dani must help him find a serial killer who’s been operating throughout New York City for the past decade. If anyone can decipher his patterns, and his riddles, it’s a trained codebreaker like Dani. The killer knows this too. And his next riddle—and victim—is meant just for her.

For Dani, stopping a killer—and learning what really happened to her father—becomes more personal and more dangerous with each new twist. As secrets of the past are unearthed, the truth could forever change Dani’s life…and the lives of everyone she loves.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Narrators Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin reunite to bring the second installment in the Daniela Vega series to life.… Guerra excels in portraying Vega, particularly her family dynamics and professional interactions, while Chin adeptly voices the chilling perspective of the deranged serial killer. With relentless action, this gripping mystery will captivate listeners from start to finish.”—AudioFile Magazine

“Maldonado’s years of law enforcement experience continue to add grit and texture to the series, and she supplements those details with a barn burner of a climax. Readers will clamor for the sequel.”—Publishers Weekly

“Maldonado's expertise in the criminology field really shines through in her books…She covers her bases, does her research, and creates a realistic investigation and chase that is compelling and engaging!”—Shelf Reflection

Daniela Vega is a bad ass

I really like this series and the way Dani is able to figure things out. I certainly hope there's another book soon. The narration by Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin really added to the story.

Book two of Danilla Vega

Great read, characters and story line. Lots of twists and turns finding the evil she was liking for.

Love this author!

I love the main character Dani. She smart and tough. I liked that her character had been a Ranger. Her skills are terrific. I really liked this book.

So interesting!

Loved the discussion of military tactical training and pattern recognition. Enjoyed all if the characters: liked the good guys and girl and hated it the bad guy.

fast paced

Riveting and exciting from the very beginning! Surprising twists and intelligent storytelling. Isabella never disappoints!

Keeps getting better and better

Really enjoyed Isabella’s new novel! Hopefully we get some more Dani Vega stories! Or a movie :)

Action-packed Dani Vega story!

A few months ago, I discovered Isabella Maldonado’s writing by accident, I have to say it was a fortuitous accident because I’m now addicted to her story telling and characters. This second Daniela Vega story provides background context to Dani and her family and their relationship. Of course, it also highlights Dani’s investigative talents and crime solving abilities. I listened to the audiobook of this story so along with the well-crafted story, I had the additional benefit of Almarie Guerra and Feodor Chin bringing the story and each character to life through their excellent narration skills. If you enjoy crime thrillers, pick up any of Isabela Maldonado’s books and settle in for an excellent experience. If you haven’t read the first Danelle Vega story, A Killer’s Game, you would do well reading it prior to A Forgotten Kill so that you have a better feel for who Dani is and her backstory.

Such a good book!

Isabella Maldonado is a goddess when it comes to writing an engaging FBI crime novel. Her characters are always well written and I was hooked the entire time I was reading. Danni is an amazing character and her strength and grit are incredible. I love that she doesn’t make her female characters weak and docile. She made Danni into a certified bad ass and I am here for it! I will continue to read her books and I highly recommend them. The audio was perfect and I hope these two continue to narrate the books they are fantastic together!
