Too Close

Morgan Stark #2

by Rylie Dark

TOO CLOSE is book #2 in a new series Rylie Dark, which begins with TOO LATE (book #1).

Morgan Stark is a renowned surgeon, acclaimed by his colleagues for his brilliance as a diagnostician. But when his close friend and protégé resident is murdered, Morgan feels compelled to help the FBI decipher the trail of medical clues and bring the killer to justice.

FBI Special Agent Danielle Hernandez, 28, a rising star in the BAU, equally esteemed by her colleagues for her brilliance and determination, is not used to turning to a doctor for help in solving crimes. This unlikely partnership, though, may just surprise them both.

A string of women are found murdered, and Morgan feels certain that they share a similar medical history. But with medical records lost or sealed for privacy, will his assumptions lead him down the right road?

Or will he make a mistake, and fail to save the next victim in time?

An exciting story with a pleasant narration.

[Claudete Takahashi · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's really interesting to read about how a medical doctor can work with the FBI in finding and understanding clues that might help to elucidate a crime and catch a killer. This role is fulfilled by Morgan Stark, who has been suspended from his medical practice for a violation of patient confidentiality, which he did to help the FBI. He is now back to work on a training basis with the FBI, and analyzing the possibility of joining the Bureau. His help leads to the culprit but it's more than his deductive capabilities that will be needed...Too Close has a great plot and good, rounded characters.
I thank the author for the free copy of this book received in exchange for my honest review.

I absolutely LOVED this book!! I think I finished it in less than 2 days!! I could not put it down!! I am cleaning & listening to it & I am driving, showering & waiting for doctor appts all while listening to this book!!! I was riding my mobility scooter through Sam’s doing my shopping listening to the book, I was definitely not paying attention to the people around me cause I was too engrossed in this book!! Ms. Rylie Dark continues to belt out smashing good reads one right after the other!! Please Don’t Stop!!! My partner says I’m an addict about these Morgan Stark thrillers & I guess I am. But this is new, it’s not the typical alphabet agency or local detective chasing down a serial killer & it’s not Scarpetta & the way she gleans information from the bodies of the dead. This is an entirely new genre, at least for me. And I LOVE IT!!! I totally recommend that you read the Morgan Stark series by Rylie Dark. Right now there are only 3 books, which makes me sad, but fingers crossed that there’s more to come!!! Read! This! Book! I promise you’ll be hooked too, & then when there’s a bunch of us addicted to The Morgan Stark Series, we can form our own “support” group, to discuss what our favorite parts are & those kind of things & anything else we can come up with!! Maybe we can even get Ms. Dark to come online to our “support” group!! Okay I’m going to listen to book 3! Y’all please read this book!! You Will Not Regret It!!!

I loved this story. Dr. Stark is helping the FBI search for a serial killer in his own unique way. He's smart, he's fun, and yes he has flaws and baggage but that is what makes him human and so very likable. This is a new author for me and I can't wait to read the next in this series.
Such a good read, well written.

[Laura Poppenwimer · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting possible change of career, Dr. Morgan Stark suspended from the hospital has found that he is value as a consultant to the FBI. His eye for detail and problem solving has stopped a serial killer. The book is well written and keeps you turning pages. It is a hard one to put down, you want to see what the next clue will be and were it will take the story.

[Karen Sheldon · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m definitely hooked

This author is a great new find. Her story lines are like no other author’s writing. Love the fact that there are “chuckles” intertwined with a murder mystery.

[Edward · Rating 5 out of 5]

Have you been listening? I told you all that if you read Rylie Dark, you can’t put the book down!

[emily cranick · Rating 4 out of 5]

couldn’t. stop. reading. this series is everything

[Stephanie Reaume · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dark does it again. Morgan Stark deserves more, despite how self centered he use to be. I truly hope he rekindles something with Ashley.

[Isabella · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really like these characters, and the pacing keeps it interesting!

[Cindy · Rating 2 out of 5]

I enjoyed the first book in this series a lot, but found this one to be a bit boring.

[Toni O'Connor · Rating 5 out of 5]

Grabs you

Love this main character. Morgan is so much more than a doctor. His mind is so able to figure out the twists and turns of the clues

[Valerie Jenkins · Rating 3 out of 5]

Didn't hold my attention as much as the first book. But, I want to read the 3rd so that I can learn more about his sister's disappearance.

[Sydney Berger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Getting better i’m getting more into it now
The main plot of the book is pretty much the same as the first one but the underlying plot is really was is keeping me sucked in

[Brooke (i blog 4 books) · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars. Will grab another book in the series.
