Kaely Quinn Profiler, Book 1

De: Nancy Mehl

Narrado por: Traci Odom

Kaely Quinn's talents as an FBI behavior analyst are impossible to ignore, no matter how unorthodox her methods. But when a reporter outs her as the daughter of an infamous serial killer, she's demoted to field agent and transferred to St. Louis.

When the same reporter who ruined her career claims to have received an anonymous poem predicting a string of murders, ending with Kaely's, the reporter's ulterior motives bring his claim into question. But when a body is found that fits the poem's predictions, the threat is undeniable, and the FBI sends Special Agent Noah Hunter to St. Louis.

Initially resentful of the assignment, Noah is surprised at how quickly his respect for Kaely grows, despite her oddities. But with a brazen serial killer who breaks all the normal patterns on the loose, Noah and Kaely are tested to their limits to catch the murderer before anyone else - including Kaely herself - is killed.

Pretty good

A good story. Didn't care for the narrator. Would have liked more references to God leading and directing her. Not just at the end.

Better Than the Score

This book is actually better than the score I gave it. The story itself is clever, exciting and twisted. The narration was a little stiff but actually got better as the book went on. The reason I gave this a lower score is because I truly believe the religious rambling was overwhelming, even obnoxious and would make me seriously question getting the next installment. I have great faith, I do not need a lecture on Christianity in my murder mysteries.

Wow

What a great story. Great big twists and tiny satisfying twists right to the last sentence.

AMAZING

This book was spectacular the story the plot line and the over all performance was amazing I definitely recommend this book to all mystery lovers

Meh

The story was OK. The characters are not well developed and leave you questioning their choices and why they make them. It’s just not that interesting overall and I don’t feel compelled to read the next book 🤷‍♀️

Too churchy for me!

I am a big fan of Thriller mystery novels but I don't really want to hear a bunch of preaching while reading that Genre. I like it for the blood and guts not Praise Jesus

Pretty good plot

I really liked this book, the peace was quick, I didn’t get bored once, and the resolution took me by surprise. Nice characters too, even the mean guys were somehow likeable.
I read a lot of comments on the religious aspect of the book, and I was a bit worried it would be an issue, but it is ok and not a big deal until pretty much the end, It didn’t bother me through the story, I have read other books, fantasy mostly, where religion is a big part of the protagonist’ life and journey and it doesn’t necessarily impact the story, is just who they are and gives another layer to the character, which I think is the case with Kaely. So if seen with the fiction glasses, it can be passable. It gets a bit too sappy and cringy at the very end, so it is 95% ok for me. I did enjoy it a lot after all.

Not for me

I was turned off by the religious propaganda and I never got used to the narrator’s voice. I also found the main character unappealing. I won’t be paying for any sequels.

Good story

Very suspenseful! I couldn’t stop listening. I really liked all the FBI profiling. I recommend this book.

Religious overtones

Great narration and a reasonable story line but lots of religious overtones. The lead character is a new found christian which is admirable but it feels at odds with the story line about serial killers. Expect lines like - "I am constantly amazed at what god can do. Like healing a family"
