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.

My Thoughts:
Nancy Mehl's Mind Games welcomed me to a world of intrigue and suspense. With the
introduction of her latest heroine, Kaely Quinn, readers come head to head with
a daughter of a serial killer. In Mind
Games, Mehl places the readers in a police procedural novel where they
follow Quinn and her new accomplice Noah for a hunt for a serial killer who is
out to seek revenge on Quinn. The plot definitely showed the inner workings of
a police case with evidence and some moments for down time to understand and round
out the characters. But majority of the plot showed their process to solve the
case. I did like Kaely Quinn as a character. She is like nothing I have ever
seen. She is strong, brave, and has a unique way of solving crimes. I really
liked her. Overall, Mind Games had a
unique heroine with a strong plot even though I did figure out who the bad guy
was early on. I believe fans of Dee Henderson's latest works and Janice Cantore
might enjoy this novel.
I received a complimentary copy of Mind Games by Nancy Mehl from Bethany House Publishers, but the
opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 stars
