Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press | Minotaur Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the second book in the Head Cases series by John McMahon, with the audiobook perfectly narrated by a favorite, Will Damron. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
FBI Agent Gardner Camden is an analytical genius with an affinity for puzzles. He heads up a team of equally brilliant and quirky agents known as PAR - Patterns and Recognition unit. They solve cases that no one else can. The team is now in Miami FL, investigating a militia group. When their confidential informant is killed, it's clear that the militia didn't kill him. In their investigation, they discover a mystery man that is connected to another FBI case - a series of unsolved murders of women buried in Florida. Are these two cases related?
I have been anxiously awaiting this book, because I loved Head Cases. These books are so unique because they are not just smart thrillers and police procedurals, but they highlight the different personality traits that make some people uniquely qualified for certain jobs. It's just a different way of looking at things or remembering facts. But it's also great that these characters realize their own shortcomings as well, making them feel real and multi-dimensional. Plus, we get to see the personal and more fragile side of them. The cases themselves are gripping, tense, and will keep you on the edge of your seat, but the characters really shine. Now I'm back to anxiously awaiting the next book in this wonderful series! Highly recommended but definitely start with the first book! Will Damron again brought life into the story, and I loved having both versions of this book.
