REVIEW: Unsub

Unsub
Author: Meg Gardiner

The Prophet killed 11 people in the Oakland area in the 1990's. Then he disappeared. The fact the killer was never caught ruined the life of the lead investigator on the case. Detective Caitlin Hendrix knows that better than anyone else because that investigator is her father. Twenty years after The Prophet killings, a woman's body is discovered in a cornfield. She has been strangled to death. A crude symbol depicting Mercury has been pounded into her chest with nails.  It's The Prophet's signature. The symbol he left on all his victim. He's back......

OMG! This book just did not let up! Caitlin Hendrix is a great main character. She is determined to solve the case that destroyed her father and led her down a dark path as a teenager. She works relentlessly to break the code contained in strange poetry The Prophet leaves at each crime scene. The killer is methodical and ruthless. He taunts the investigators, terrifies the public with online videos and threats, and always seems one step ahead of the police. This story is so suspenseful and chilling! I loved it!

This is the first book by Meg Gardiner that I've read. I will definitely be reading some of her other books! A second book in the Unsub series, Into the Black Nowhere, is coming out on January 30th. I can't wait to find out what's in store next for Caitlin Hendrix!
