The Profiler

The Munro Family Series, Book 1

By: Chris Taylor

Narrated by: Aiden Snow

A psychopathic killer is stalking the women of Sydney.

Federal Agent Clayton Munro, a criminal profiler with the Australian Federal Police (AFP), has been called upon to assist in hunting down a vicious murderer who is intent upon carving up his victims while they are still alive. Guilt-stricken over his wife's suicide, Clayton is forced to set aside his personal issues in order to focus on the case.

Detective Ellie Cooper is also no stranger to heartache. Pregnant and abandoned at the altar by a fiancé intent on pursuing a career with the AFP, her opinion of the elite body of officers is anything but favorable. Angered when her boss orders her to partner with the fed, she is determined not to cut him any slack.

But women are dying on the streets of western Sydney and the pressure is mounting to find the person responsible.

Will Clayton and Ellie be able to put aside their animosity and work together to catch a killer before it's too late? And what about the special fascination the killer seems to have with Ellie?

A new author to me, but one who's work I really enjoyed.

A fast paced suspense with a lovely mix of romance and intrigue. Loved it and look forward to book two.

Romance

I love the romance mixed with the mystery. The violence is hard to take, but the book is very good.

Pretty good

3/5 stars. I liked the murder mystery, but readers should be warned that the violence is pretty graphic. The romance is maybe 10 per cent of the story.

Aussie point of view

I enjoyed the aspect that this book took place in Australia, and the use of the vocabulary used in that part of the world,but I did miss out on the accent.
A few observations and things I tired of quickly.repeated use of some verbs and adjectives...sorry I expect more of an author that is receiving this much hype. I also found it sad that the part of the book that was best written was the sexual encounter... I would expect the same level of description throughout the book...wonder how long I'll be pending on this review?

I just cant get into this book DNF after 3 hours.

Hmmm. Sad to say I just couldn't get into this book. It was just boring and seemed all over the place to me. I listened for 3 hours and I give up. Sorry, this is not a very helpful review. Just not for me I guess.

As for the narration, he does a well enough job. Not the worst, not the best either.

This was a free book on amazon and 1.99 listen. Oh well.
