I received a free download of "Killing Sam Knight" from the Knight Chronicles by John Cassian, in exchange for an honest review. This is a follow up of Book #1 "Killing Matt Cooper", and should be read in order to get an appreciation of the mindset of the serial killer.In this continuation of book #1, we find the return of Kathleen Underwood, a hot FBI agent, a criminologist who was the Unit Chief of the Behavioral Analysis Group of the FBI. Now Sam Knight's world had changed and now he had a partner in bed and a partner in crime and her name was Kathleen. Kathleen had already figured out that Sam was a serial killer, and she told him, "I want you to teach me to Kill."Sam was in love again, and had not felt these emotions since Jessie Cooper, the love of his life, the first woman he had raped and killed in Seattle in 2007.But how would Kathleen participate? In what role? A lot of details to work out.Kathleen called Sam to assist her with a serial killer investigation in Oklahoma City. Sam worked for FEMA as a crisis manager. It involved travelling all over the country, and putting the fires out. It didn't allow for close relationships, which was the perfect job for him.Both Sam and Kathleen had composed a list of victims to be targeted in the area, and they chose Mandy Oppenheimer, who lived close to Kathleen's hotel. But then things go terribly wrong, and the hunters become hunted, and they are stalked and chased by a killer...and she knew a lot about him. "I am going to kill Matt Cooper for You." She was taunting them! What kind of a game was she playing?The ending was amazing and a shock! I feel that I was watching an episode of CSI, but from the serial killer's perspective.
