Review: Could have been a five star book but..........
Rating: 3 out of 5

I will start off by saying that I am conflicted about giving this book a 3 or a 4.  The story could have been a five but there were several things that to me made it more of a 3/4.For those of you who do not like swear words (I think there was one) and sex you will not find it in this book.  The subject matter is clear in the fact that this is a book about serial killers.  This is a gory subject so I would think you would know that going in.One of the things that bothered me the most was the detective work.  It seems to me that if someone was murdering people the only two FBI agents assigned to this case would not be somewhere else trying to find old bodies.  Why would they need to do that when they had plenty of other local cops to do that?  Wouldn't they be more concerned about trying to get the new cases solved before someone else gets murdered?  Would they not get more help?  The end of the book (I am going to tread lightly here because I don't want to give anything away) when the FBI was waiting around when they should have been doing something else was over the top.Another thing that bothered me were the characters themselves.  I just don't know how to describe it other than they acted "juvenile".  I am talking about the FBI agents.  Complaining about "small" towns, & then the there was "love" story stuff.  It almost seemed like we were back in the 1950's (kind of reminds you of Leave It To Beaver).  It just did not seem like they were grown ups.  I don't know, you will just have to see what you think.Overall, I would read another book by this author but I am disappointed that the book fell flat in the areas I mentioned.NOTE:  I originally gave this book a 4 but I had to change it to a 3 after reading another book in this genre (a day later).  The police work in the other book just put this police work to shame.  Don't get me wrong I think the book is definitely worth reading but......
