Bridget Bishop Mystery book # 6

The story in a few words:

Behavioral analyst and profiler Bridget Bishop investigates the disappearance of barn manager at Wilde Valley Stables. This should be a simple missing person case but after threatening letters are received at the police station and the local press from a vindictive killer and the discovery of the hidden graveyard is discovered it soon becomes a race against time before other victims succumb at the killers hands.

My thoughts:

This is a fast paced mystery that not only gives twists and turns to derailed us and keeps us guessing till the very end but it also engages us to be one step ahead of the characters whether you follow the good guys or the bad ones. Ms. Woodhall knows how to tease us without losing us along the way. The language is clean and simple, the plot line suspenseful and exciting and the characters even the evil ones are well define. After 5 books those who have been following this series are well acquainted with the recurring cast: Bridget, Santino, Charlie, Gage but no fear if you are not you fit right in and of course we also being introduced to new set of players to follow.

This book as with the all previous is a great read of course if you like mysteries involving serial killers.....

Very engaging mystery: well-done, well-said

I received a free copy of this book and I leave a voluntary review, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own. ( )

This is a police procedural in which the local police, private detectives and the FBI all join forces to try to identify a serial killer piling up bodies in a small town. So there are lots of characters. They came across as quite flat and poorly developed, and I didn’t connect with them. But this may be because I read the book as a stand-alone, (presumably they were fleshed out in the prior books in the series). Story-wise, the book worked fine as a stand-alone; I was never lost. There is enough action to keep the story moving at a good pace, but it jumps a little at times. And I was frequently distracted with wondering why the author chose to so often describe the driving details (getting into (and later out of) the vehicle, setting the GPS and taking whichever turn-off etc.). There were a few minor editing issues. Overall, it was ‘ok’, an easy read but forgettable.
I was provided with an ARC (thanks to the author & publisher!) and I am voluntarily posting my honest review. ( )
