A Dark Mind

Lizzy Gardner, Book 3

By: T. R. Ragan

Narrated by: Kate Rudd

They call him the Lovebird Killer, a merciless fiend unleashing a flood of unspeakable cruelty upon Sacramento’s most loving couples, young and old. This real-life monster’s reign of terror has left the city’s residents paralyzed with fear.

All but Lizzy Gardner. Because hiding from monsters isn’t Lizzy’s style, not since she faced the madman who kidnapped and terrorized her as a teenager. So when a routine workers’ compensation case suddenly leads her and her two young assistants onto the killer’s trail, Lizzy revels in the chase. She is determined to bring this psychopath to justice before he has the chance to claim another victim. She never imagines he could be two steps ahead, watching her every move and plotting his bloodiest, most triumphant conquest of all. He knows Lizzy won’t go down without a fight. And that’s just the way he likes it.…

Great Book! Did not want to put it down

If you could sum up A Dark Mind in three words, what would they be?

Amazing, Thriller, Action

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was a book I did not want to stop.

Any additional comments?

After readying the other reviews I almost didnt download it. There is nothing I hate more in a book that does not wrap everything up. For the person that made the comment about the couple being attacked by those guys. Please go back they did tell what happened to them and it was resolved. I'm not sure if you missed it or did not realize what happened.

the book does jump timelines quite a bit which was some times a little hard to follow but i would def recommend this book!

Unsettling

This was very intense! Ragan's use of actual serial killer quotes kept a deep dark loom over the whole story. The depth of creepy keeps you wondering about real life and makes you fee naïve about the most mundane tasks throughout the day. Love does conquer all but is what you have really love? So many grossly twisted dichotomies in this book.

Totally Unexpected

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

A real page turner ... I couldn't put it down.

What did you like best about this story?

Well done... I was not prepared prepared for the ending. With the additional insight provided by the people in the killer's life, I now see the beginning of the story in a whole new light.

Which character – as performed by Kate Rudd – was your favorite?

I enjoyed her portrayal of Haley. She made me feel the range of emotions that Haley felt, starting with her indifference after being released from prison, then her realization that joy was a possibility in life, ending with her crushing defeat and descent back into hopelessness when she discovers her mother death.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Only the lonely...

Any additional comments?

The quotes at the beginning of each chapter were well chosen and really creepy ... they site the tone for the book.

great listen!

very well done. much action and suspence. great narrator. I really enjoyed it! it's worth your time.

Great Series!

I truly enjoy the characters and how this isn't your typical "man-saves-the-day" hero story. can't wait to listen to the next one!
