Synopsis from Goodreads:
All that remains are whispers of the past…
When multiple body parts are recovered from the Little Ogeechee River in Savannah, Georgia, local law enforcement calls in FBI agent and profiler Brandon Fisher and his team to investigate. But with the remains pointing to three separate victims, this isn’t proving to be an open-and-shut case.
With no quick means of identifying the deceased, building a profile of this serial killer is more challenging than usual. How are these targets being selected? Why are their limbs being severed and their bodies mutilated? And what is it about them that is triggering this person to murder?
The questions compound as the body count continues to rise, and when a torso painted blue and missing its heart is found, the case takes an even darker turn. But this is only the beginning, and these new leads draw the FBI into a creepy psychological nightmare. One thing is clear, though: The killing isn’t going to stop until they figure it all out. And they are running out of time...
My Review:
I haven't read anything by Arnold before and I can definitely say that I loved this book and will definitely be going back and reading the books in this series. This is the sixth book in the series and you don't necessarily need to read the books that came beforehand. I think there was some background on the characters that I have missed out on but this wasn't an issue at all. The minute I began reading this book it was almost impossible to put it down. The writing flowed throughout and I really enjoyed the storyline. What I did enjoy most of all was the way the story was written for the character. Although the series is written with FBI agent Brandon Fisher as our main character and from his perspective when he's talking etc, the other main characters within his team have just as much page time as he does. We get a could insight of the main characters and the storyline, which makes for an interesting read and something a little interesting, if not better than the way some books are written/read.
I don't have too much to say for my review of 'Remnants' other than I really loved it; the storyline and the characters were great. I already have the first book in the series downloaded to my iPad and am looking forward to getting through the series. I enjoyed not knowing who the killer was for quite a while too, even the inclusion of chapters from his perspective kept to the mystery.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this book/series to anybody looking for a really great crime/thriller series. A lot of books in this genre do start to weave in similarities but this book was just really great. It felt believable and I enjoyed the way it was written; this is a big thing for me when reading. Looking forward to reading the other books in the series!
Happy reading :)
