This book was inspired by real-life serial killer Ted Bundy (which I actually didn't know until I went to write this post). FBI profile Caitlin Hendrix is our main character, who is facing off against a charming serial killer. Women have been vanishing in Texas on Saturday nights and the FBI worries it's a serial killler, a fear which is proven correct when they discover more than one victim who have been posed in the same way surrounded by Polaroid photos. To track this UNSUB, Caitlin must get into his mind, figuring how this guy is selecting women in an effort to find him before he kills again. Her profile leads the FBI to focus on one kind of man: a successful, charismatic professional who can easily gain women's trust.
Partway through the book, Caitlin and the FBI get their guy --- but of course, because there's still a big chunk of the book left, you know it can't be so easy. This guy has Caitlin rattled, and there are still some things about this guy and the crimes which aren't adding up. To say any more would be to reveal spoilers, so I'll leave it at that.
I liked this book and found I kept reading because I wasn't sure what was going to be revealed. I like the psychological aspects of this story, as well as the realistic details about psychological profiling.
