Shattered Life
Shattered life is a book that I won’t read again, that’s for sure. Too many typos and misspellings.
I might try another book by the author, but doubtable.

I swayed whether to read this hoping it would be an improvement of the first book, sadly I was mistaken.
To me the author fills the main story with meaningless "word salad" and then rushed to an anti climax with the real killer/s.
It's a shame as the sub story of the main characters background could make this a really good series.
In addition to this I would strongly advise the author invests in a more adept software programme or hire a different proof reader as the spelling mistakes/typos are off putting especially as there are so many. One paragraph just did not make sense at al!

still thrilling and evolving
Our FBI agent now has to deal with his new illness and its consequences in his life (who and what to tell) and reflecting in his ability to catch serial killers . And his little sister’s disappearance 25 years ago keeps coming up. Quite nice to follow as a series so far

Ho hum story. A hypnotist is able to kill vulnerable people. Cooper is on the hunt for the killer. He has a disability that while it does not stop him from doing his job, it does have some effects that could put others in danger. He also has a sad back story, and that comes in to the story as well. But overall it was rather an average mystery that required a bit more editing.

Interesting storyline. Good relationship between main protagonists. A lot of past information to keep Agents Cooper interesting. Great read highly recommend.

Great book
I really enjoyed reading this book. It needs to be edited as there were a lot of mistakes. The plot was good and the story held my attention from beginning to end.

A serial killer uses hypnotherapy to kill his female victors. Cooper Trace, an FBI agent that specializes in profiling is stumped. Fast read. I rate this a 5.0.
