Kaely Quinn Profiler book 3
by Nancy Mehl
| -From Goodreads- When a body is discovered in a field in Iowa, the police uncover fourteen additional corpses ranging from 20 years old to recent. The remains point to a serial killer with an MO the authorities have seen before--Ed Oliphant, a man who has been in prison for over 20 years . . . and is Special Agent Kaely Quinn's father. After several failed interview attempts to discover if Ed has been training someone to be a copycat killer, the police turn to Kaely in St. Louis. Kaely promised herself she would never step foot in her hometown or set eyes on her father again. She's always refused to confront her past, but if she wants to prevent any more deaths, she must come face-to-face with the man she's hated for years. As more bodies are discovered, Kaely races against time and her own personal turmoil to uncover the killer. Will this most personal case yet cost Kaely her identity and perhaps even her life? ASIN: B07VLC3K77 Her past just came back to haunt her... I've been waiting for this book, I think since reading the first Kaely Quinn Profiler novel. I just knew that when Kaely's past decided to reemerge as her present things would get exciting, and a lot more chilling. Dead End was definitely all of that and exceeded my expectations. |  This Book received a 4.5 Bark rating.

There were so many twists and turns to this story that I could barely keep up with all of the danger and drama from page to page. There are red herrings and switches-on-switches. And just when you think you've got it all solved, nope, you find out you were totally off...or were you? Nancy Mehl is certainly a master at weaving tales of psychological unrest that take her characters to the brink and completely engross readers.
Those psychological elements really do make the story. They take the plot out of the realm of the average romantic suspense novel and into something much better. Kaely's internal battles are just as important to the plot as her desperate race to catch a killer.
As you can probably tell I really enjoyed Dead End, trying to guess the killer's identity, which I sort of did though the motivation came as a surprise, and just the general creepiness of the book's ambiance. Good stuff! But then, I could expect nothing less from a Nancy Mehl novel...
