Many thanks to NetGalley, Minotaur Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this wonderful series debut by John McMahon, with the audiobook perfectly narrated by Will Damron. All opinions expressed in this review are my own – 5 stars!
The Patterns and Recognition (PAR) unit of the FBI is a team of five brilliant but misfit agents tasked with solving cold cases. Gardner Camden may have social issues, but he’s got an amazing analytical brain that excels in puzzles and codes. Work is a priority for him, along with visits to his young daughter and elderly mother. When a serial killer from one of Gardner’s solved cases, who has been presumed dead for over a decade, is found murdered, the hunt begins to find the killer who is murdering serial killers. Gardner and his team track him across the country, hoping they can solve the riddles before it’s too late.
This was such a fabulous book and audiobook! Think Slow Horses (which I also love), a group of intelligence agents who all made mistakes, but come together as a strong team. It also reminded me a bit of Mind Hunters, and I loved the peek into the mind of a serial killer and those who hunt for them. But the characters were where this book really shines – I loved all of them, but especially Gardner. They felt real, I felt for them, and I can’t wait for more books featuring this team. Highly recommended!
