Five Days Post Mortem (A Gripping Serial Killer Thriller)

Violet Darger FBI Thriller, Book 5

De: L.T. Vargus, Tim McBain

Narrado por: Kate Marcin

Her body floats. A bloated thing half atop the river. Naked. Pale. Mouth and eyes open wide.

When two fishermen discover a corpse floating in the Clackamas river, profiler Violet Darger heads to rural Oregon to hunt another serial killer. What she discovers in the woods might change the course of her life.

What secrets does the water conceal?

The girl in the water marks the third such case in the area - all drowned with superficial stab wounds and discovered in a body of water - and Darger feels certain she won't be the last.

The corpses are badly decomposed. The flesh purpled and softened from their time in the water. The forensic evidence distorted by decay and the elements.

But the victims share one more thing in common - all were discovered roughly five days post mortem. A coincidence? Something with meaning to be discerned?

Darger suspects the timeline to be significant, but without evidence, she can only guess as to why. That sets up what might be the key to the case:

What is the killer doing to the victims for the four days between their deaths and dumping their bodies?

It's Darger's first case without Loshak, and it will test her like none before.

This pulse-pounding thriller will have you holding your breath until the very end. Fans of John Sandford, Karin Slaughter, Gillian Flynn, and Lisa Gardner should check out the Violet Darger series.

Violet is back!

Thank you for giving Violet back her strength and brilliance! Loved everything about this book, great twist and sad ending! Awesome

Called it

dramatic change in writing style makes the ending pretty obvious, it would have been great if it was the first in the series though.

Violet Darger at her best!!

L.T. Vargus & Tim McBain have created one of the best FBI thriller series that I’ve read or listened to. With the release of each new book I’m left in awe that they were able to best their last. Violet Darger returns in Five Days Post Mortem, while she is still on sabbatical from the FBI, she takes a consulting profiler role in a serial killer investigation, and what an investigation she gets involved in. Along with being action packed, the inclusion of Entomology and Jungian psychology make this story almost impossible to put down. If you are a fan of Violet Darger or Patricia Cornwell, Five Days Post Mortem will not disappoint, and if you are new to this series, listening to this book will likely create the need to go back and read or listen to the previous Varger and Loshak books.
It would be criminally negligent to not mention Kate Marcin’s narration. Kate’s narration is perfect for this series, her delivery and voice are awesome!

Great series

Love these books, great story line and characters very exciting. Cant wait for the next adventure with violet darger

Best Twist of the Series so far!

I won't give anything away but I loved this book. Loved the villain... in the end. Super interesting. I'm also very interested in the ARC for Violet Darger. It will be interesting to see where her final story ends. I am invested in her life and the way she makes decisions in a male-dominated field. Would love to be in a profession like this too!

Best so far!

I loved this book! I think it is the best in the series so far.

Keep Going Forward Violet

I hope this case inspires Violet to keep going forward with her life and find her PATH.

Vargus and McBain do it again!

Just when I think I know Violet Darger, she surprises me yet again! Now consulting as she considers whether she can return to the FBI, she is thrown into a case with a brand new partner. I loved the twists and turns. Can't wait for the next installment!

Simply Amazing -

This maybe the best story so far -
I am completely hooked. Simply put, I could not stop listening.
The performance was amazing as well.

Love series

I really hope the authors continue the series on Audible because I need more violet darger
