Review: Who did it?

I found the stories within the Harbinger Collection to be an education in how to catch serial killers.  Famed FBI Profiler, Kent Harbinger, joins forces with the local police force to help catch serial killers in each of these stories.  Nicole Usher is the lead detective on these cases, infatuated by the Profiler's credentials and abilities, she teams up with Kent and becomes his understudy.  His theory is that in order to catch a killer, one must put himself into the killer's head to understand the motivations and reasons for their killing spree. Kent begins teaching Nicole those techniques. There are portions of the stories that are gross and disturbing, leaving images in your mind long after you've read the words, i.e. eating human brains. Not for the faint of heart!  However, it's all part of the gruesome world these killers live in, and no two killers are alike.As some of the other reviewers have mentioned, these stories do mimic James Patterson's style, leaving readers guessing until the very end. Intrigued by the book description and reviews, I downloaded it onto my Kindle for free and felt compelled to give it a try.  Now I'm hooked and looking forward to Ms. McCray's next book in the series. Great job - thanks for the experience!John Podlaski, authorCherries: A Vietnam War Novel
