Lunatic
The author of The New Hampshire Mysteries returns with a stunning, emotionally charged suspense thriller that catapults its two Special Victims Unit detectives into a disturbing, unfathomable investigation that just might destroy them. Filled with pulse-pounding intrigue and written with unsettling psychological undertones, Lunatic depicts the dark subject matter of sex crimes. This novel is not for the faint of heart. Readers beware.
When Detective Danielle Foster returns to the 66th Precinct after a maternity leave gone wrong, the unforeseeable death of her infant son who died of SIDS isn't the only tragedy weighing heavily on her mind. The latest female victim, found naked and brutally bludgeoned to death in the middle of Brooklyn's largest park, stirs in her dark ruminations she can't shake.
Recently transferred from Vice as a means to appease his overbearing wife, Detective Carter Dobbs has a lot to prove at the Special Victims Unit, and his new partner, Danny hasn't exactly welcomed him with open arms. As they charge headlong into a puzzling and increasingly disturbing investigation that takes them from picturesque Prospect Park to the seedy underbelly of NYC's modeling world, these brilliant and tireless investigators will stop at nothing to crack the case, even if it means putting their own complicated lives on hold.
What seemed at first to be a horrific but impulsive crime proves to have wider implications and soon the full extent of the killer's demented work becomes clear. Suspending hostilities, Danny and Carter barrel ahead in hot pursuit of a cold-blooded killer who draws them deeper and deeper towards the wicked truth, one which will threaten to shatter everything the detectives thought they knew about justice.
In the city where crime never sleeps, Danny and Carter must battle their own personal demons as well as a killer more depraved than any they've hunted before. But will they survive the investigation when it begins to strike far too close to home?

I voluntarily reviewed this book. Now to the good stuff....This story is very complex. It has different layers of issues and things going on with just about every person involved in it. Answers are no easily found, and everyone must work together to get to find the killer(s). This story is very well written and doesn't give away anything! To find the killer, which I thought I had...and was wrong, you must read the entire book. Well played Mira Gibson. Well played!

This is an interesting multilayered story. The characters are well written and three dimensional. I think the individual characters and their backgrounds impact the outcome and the flow of the story in an important way. Some very nice twists and turns and look forward to the next book in the series.

I was not sure of my feelings regarding this book. The characters were all victims (police included) which you find out early on and are constantly reminded of this fact. It was contrived. I did stick with reading it and it did pull me in to finish, but the ending made me crazy. I guess that is why it is titled Lunatic!
