Started this one last night. Good so far.

I'm expecting a lot to go on in this book, since the blurb above cannot be a spoiler -- Jonetta would never do that to us!

Robin- Glad you are enjoying this one so far :)Jonetta - this one was intense, well for me anyway.
Charlene - none of those are spoilers.
Enjoying it so far though I still wish Maggie would get her act together and stop wimping about the past. Maybe she will soon:)

No, I was not suggesting otherwise! I was not criticizing Jonetta. Please forgive if I gave wrong impression.
Maggie whined all the way to the end. I did not really enjoy this one sadly.

I have enjoyed the mystery part in each one so far. It's just that I expect more from my main character. Maggie doesn't actually do anything. Events just happen to her!

I just finished and will give it 3 stars.
Thanks again for leading our discussion, Jonetta. I've added my two cents and will watch for others' responses.

In a wooded area near the FDR Memorial in Washington, the body of a senator's daughter is discovered.
For FBI Special Agent Maggie O'Dell, there is nothing routine about being called in to work these two cases. As an expert criminal profiler, Maggie provides psychological insight on cases that involve suspected serial killers. She can't understand, then, why she has been assigned to two seemingly unrelated crimes.
But as Maggie and her partner, Special Agent R. J. Tully, delve deeper into the cases, they discover there is a connection: Reverend Joseph Everett, the charismatic leader of a high-profile religious sect. The men holed up in the cabin were members of Everett's church, and the murder of the young woman took place following one of Everett's rallies.
Is Everett a psychotic madman who uses his power to perform heinous crimes? Or is he merely the scapegoat for a killer more cunning than he? Maggie realizes the only way to find out is by using her own mother, a member of Everett's church, as a pawn in a deadly trap.
