Leo on Fire

FBI Files, Book 2

By: Patricia Logan

Narrated by: Michael Dean

Some days, fighting crime, just doesn’t pay.

FBI Profiler, Leo Reeves, has settled into his new job and his new life in Los Angeles. Working with Max Prince every day in the office is fulfilling but not as satisfying as burning up the sheets with him every night at home. Their first case together as partners resulted in the bad guys either behind bars or six feet under, but neither man thinks they’ve put an end to the murderous ring. As time goes on, and they interview the ones they did manage to arrest, the agents realize a much larger organization is at work.

Could a criminal mastermind be controlling multiple cells of murderers?

When one of their team is gunned down in a senseless mass shooting, Leo and Max are fueled by a new motive…rage. As more of the corpses from their first case are identified, new information about the kidnapping ring begins to emerge. When they realize copycats are mirroring the work of famous serial killers, things go from bad to worse. For Leo, working as a profiler has always been his passion but he begins to rethink everything when one copycat starts skinning his victims.

When they connect the gunman to a notorious criminal biker gang, things get even uglier.

On top of everything else, Max’s past comes back to bite him when his sweet pooch is threatened by a stalker. And if they haven’t led a life filled with complications until now, Leo and Max learn an old nemesis of Snow and McCallahan is connected to the case. From the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown L.A. to the scorching deserts around Victorville, criminals seem to be coming out of the woodwork to mess with them both.

enjoyed it

📖 Story comment: Good pace, likeable characters, interesting story.
I really want to become absorbed in these characters and their adventures, but Leo and Max are just lacking that "something" that I've found with other series of this author. The premise behind the story is interesting enough that I will persist, but I'm not sure if Leo's "skills as a profiler" are actually adding much to this team and it's left me wanting more.

🎧 Narrator comment: I enjoy Michael Dean as a narrator, he has good cadence, inflections and intonations, he has a good variety of character voices, there is consistency of Characters from Logan's other series books he's performed and it was easy to get lost in the story. Overall an enjoyable performance.

I love this series and this story is an interesting progression of the overall series story. It's even better when you add in the narration by Michael Dean. I can't wait for book 3.
