clues that you can almost figure it out. After she reveals the conclusion, I like to re-read it and see how the clues are all there if I was just smart enough to put them together.
Can't wait until I get her next book

leads through a laptop she is given and notices similarities to the names of the victims and the names from previous unsolved cases. She realizes someone is playing with the FBI and it is someone close to the previous cases. There are some characters I wasn’t familiar with since I have missed a couple of the books in the series. But the plot moves pretty quickly, reminiscent of the movie OUTBREAK. An enjoyable thriller.
