Someone has been abducting women with long dark hair
across Virginia. When the FBI is called in to help, Alex Donovan, a behavioral
analyst, is tasked with putting together a profile. She's aided by her friend
and colleague Logan Hart, but he has been acting strangely and won't say why.
When the kidnapper demands that Alex meet him at an abandoned amusement park in
exchange for the location of all his captives, she takes the bait. But the
meeting proves to be a trap, and the building she's in explodes.
Finding herself imprisoned with several other women,
Alex works to think one step ahead of her captor. But the more Logan and the
BAU learn about the kidnapper, the more they fear Alex may not make it out
alive this time.

Thoughts:
Free Fall
by Nancy Mehl is a captivating story of the carnival craziness that fears into
a huge chunk of the majorities’ psyche. The plot was well-written. I have
thoroughly enjoyed reading about the Behavioral Analysis unit in this series. I
hope that Mehl crafts more stories along these two series that have spoken to
my suspense loving mind. The plot features more of the romance between Alex and
Logan. While the romance has been building since the first novel, Night Fall,
it finally comes to reality in this book, but not without its struggles. Once
again, Alex is captured by the bad guy and pushed to the edge. She must rely on
her training and skills to help save a number of the women who have been
captured before her. One of my favorite aspects of a serial killer is the
ability to empathize with the killer. I NEED to be able to completely agree and
understand their reasoning for doing what they do. Mehl does a wonderful job in
the opening chapter with showing why the killer captures these women and does
what he does. Overall, Free Fall by Nancy Mehl is a suspenseful novel
that dives into the psyche of a killer who wants revenge. Nicely managed and
delivered. If anyone is a fan of suspense novels and the television series Criminal
Minds, then I recommend picking up this series. Less visual than the
television series. Cleaner but with the same result.
I received a complimentary copy Free Fall
by Nancy Mehl from Bethany House Publishing, but the opinions stated are all my
own.
