Rules of the Kill

Chloe Mather Thrillers #2

by Lawrence Kelter

Three men have been executed in a very distinctive fashion and it's up to FBI Special Agent Chloe Mather to bring their talented killer to justice. The murderer is no dull boy. He's that one in a million psychopath with the brains, discipline, and originality, to take life after life and leave the authorities dumbfounded. Like most serial killers he lives for the rush and it takes a bigger thrill to get him off each successive time. His elaborately staged kills are nothing short of genius and the tableaus he creates taunt law enforcement's best and brightest. It's not enough for his victims to die; this villain seduces his marks with a game, a game designed to lure each man to his death. Mather must build a composite of a murderer no one has ever seen and become expert at his bizarre MO. What begins as a cold case builds quickly into an inferno, but is Mather the hunter or the hunted? Find out why this monster is so terrifyingly lethal in Rules of the Kill.

Going to start reading book 3, I'm sure you'll do the same.

Late last night finished reading book 1, second book kept me up. Looks like same thing going to happen again. Ending of this book left me with unanswered questions. Mather's was Marine now FBI agent, but she still don't have night vision goggles. Characters around her and their relationships made me laugh out loud. Searched places in this book, going to put Liberty and Saranac Lake in my bucket list to visit. Mr. Kelter is creates strong female characters, love it.

Great twists and turns throughout.

Having now read 3books,I have to admit to being really taken with Chloe, a tough lady by any standard.
The plotlines are strong and interesting, taking turns you don't expect, and the characters are well drawn. The good guys are engaging and humorous, even if the humour is sometimes childish it works.
The bad guys are given great back stories,so that you can get the same take on them as the agents.
I like the way we are slowly getting to find out about Chloe's family history. On to the next book, keep them coming!
