Why are long haired brunettes disappearing? And is FBI behavior analyst Alex Donovan, who fits that profile, safe because of her occupation?
"Free Fall," the third and final chapter in Nancy Mehl's The Qunatico Files trilogy, is a quick paced, nail biting story. The focus is on the serial kidnapper, but there are some interesting side stories, including one that has a brief appearance, but helps show how a behavior analyst (aka profiler) works.
As mentioned, this is the third part of a series. Do you need to read the previous books in the series to be able to fully enjoy this novel? Definitely. Specifically, there are a lot of references to "Dead Fall" (part 2) that reading that book would help you feel like you know what's going on (and reading "Night Fall", the first in the trilogy, definitely would give even more understanding of the story). Let me go further. If you haven't read "Night Fall," I'd highly suggest you read Mehl's previous trilogy Kaley Quinn Profiler before you get into this series (especially before reading "Night Fall.")
It sounds like I've given a lot of reading for those who haven't read the series. Yes, but it's worth it. This is a very good psychological thriller series that I highly recommend. The lead and supporting characters are strong and fascinating, and the plot will keep you at the edge of your seat.
I have received a free copy of this book for my unbiased review.
