Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 03 10, 2014
Special Agent (FBI) Liam Connors, Denver, Colorado, is coming out of the gym in his apartment block at 2am one morning when he sees a 'van man' carrying a bag over his shoulder. It suddenly dawns on Liam that it is the body of his neighbor, Andrea James who he has seen but never spoken to. The Chloroform Killer has struck again! The Chloroform Killer's pattern usually leaves no traces, just a dead body in 10 days!Who is Andrea James? She is the daughter of wealthy parents. Her mother is a drunk and her father appears to be more interested in his IPad than the fact that Andrea has been abducted. Andrea works as a CPA.Liam is a graduate of Harvard, always dressed immaculately in expensive suits but harboring a deep sadness and guilt since he found his sister dead in the bath several years ago. His FBI partner is Caisey Lyons, a young woman who always speaks her mind.What a surprise is in store when the two FBI officers find Andrea James waiting for them at the security checkpoint! She is not too happy with the mess in her apartment. Liam, who has had a secret crush on her for a long time, gives her a big hug.SO who is the 6th victim that Liam saw the 'van man' taking away? What about the next victim? You're going to have to read the book to find out!I LOVED this book! It was gripping from the beginning. It is, as described, a prequel so a short and easy read. I love the bantering between Liam and Caisey. They know each other extremely well but there are no romantic notions or desires between them. They are just good working partners that deeply care for each other. BUT and this is a big but, do NOT read this book if you have no intention of reading the next one in the series titled Bait. This book (Target) is a teaser and does not have an ending. I had planned on reading Bait right after this one so I was not disappointing and as another reviewer has said, this book really does set the scene for the next book.Highly recommended! I'm off to review Bait now. See you over there!
