He has a deadly endgame in mind--and he's
already chosen each victim . . . including her.
After putting to
rest the most personal case of her career, Alex Donovan is ready to move on and
focus on her future at the FBI's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit. When the BAU
cofounder is discovered dead in his hotel room, the FBI is called in to work on
the strangest case they've ever faced. How do you find a killer who murders his
victims from a distance?
When it becomes clear that the killer is targeting agents in
Alex's unit, they are ordered into lockdown, sheltered in the dorms at
Quantico. Alex bunks with controversial agent Kaely Quinn, and as they work
together, Alex discovers in Kaely the role model she's never had--despite being
warned away.
As Alex questions the type of agent she wants to become,
things get personal when the brilliant killer strikes close to home. Now Alex
will do anything to find the killer--even at the risk of her own life.

Thoughts:
Dead
Fall
by Nancy Mehl is a twist of Criminal
Minds with a taste of romance. I enjoy a good suspense novel that dives
deep into the killer's perspective or mind. CSI
is one of my favorite series about solving the mysteries because I loved watching
the science and the evidence lead toward a captured killer or bad guy. With
Dead Fall, Mehl is pretty much doing the same thing with a novel format. Alex,
the heroine, was in the first novel, so she is a returning character. The hunt for the clues to solve the mystery
lead the story along. The characters acting and reacting to the different
elements that kept the story moving along. The mindset of the Behavior
Analyists kept me glued to the story. There was a touch of romance, but too
much. Maybe something for later. Overall, Dead
Fall by Nancy Mehl is definitely a book that I want to add to my bookshelf.
If readers enjoy CSI, Criminal Minds,
or these type of stories, then I would suggest picking up this novel.
I received a complimentary copy of Dead Fall by Nancy Mehl from Bethany
House Publishers, but the opinions stated are all my own.
