This was a sequel to the Maine Murders and returning characters FBI agent, Ben Forrester, and police detective, Dakota Woods regarding a previous case that Ben worked as a young police officer, before he joined the FBI and became a renowned profiler. A lot of intense crime scenes and bizarre twists and games from the villain to keep the reader interested, just like the first book.
I look forward to the next book in the series but, I wonder if it will include Ben and Dakota again. I will be interesting to see if Mills will pull on cases from Ben's past FBI career to continue with the 50 states of murder or if Mills will introduce new MC's.

where have you been Jon Mills?
I am new to this wonderful author, Jon Mills. I can’t believe I have not found you before now. I am so excited though with having a long list of “good books” just waiting for me. Tired of re -reading Connelly and Grisham! There is a new Author in my life now! I do love Mills way of telling the story and I really love a Great Series. Better late than never. Off I go on a definite reading binge😁❣️

Ripping, gripping, fascinating!
New York Murders is a fast paced work that kept me entertained start to finish. Ben Forrester, our FBI consult main character, faces his toughest serial killer yet. For some reason Ben is called out and taunted by this madman to play his game.
If he loses he dies. The longer the game goes on the more innocents die.
Read it. Five stars!

It’s brutally violent
and I had a hard time getting into it. I even stopped reading it for a few days and then went back to it. It’s a well-told story about a serial killer and the FBI agent/profiler who wanted to find him. There’s very good character development of both the good guy and the sick bad guy and a good job of wrapping it up for understanding the why of it all.

Another great read in the series. I totally missed the clues as to how it all fit together as I was too busy reading. We find out a bit more about Dakota's background in this and Ben still fights coming back to the FBI yet he is needed.

Back in the FBI!
Well, here's another good, very tricky mystery by Mr Mills! I like his odd couple of Ben and Dakota. They're friendship is charming, but they certainly do get the job done. The killer in this one is truly devious.

This was really an exciting book to read. I had trouble putting it down.
The characters Ben and Dakota are very likeable and I am sure there will be more
stories about them.

Good series
I enjoyed this book & the first one with Ben Forrester. Interesting characters & lots of action. I think there should be more books with these same characters.

I am ready for the next Ben Forrester novel. The way Mills writes makes you feel like you are there, watching the investigation.
