Three newlywed couples have disappeared from an exclusive resort in Florida, only to turn up dead soon after. With the location and the similarities between the female victims as their only leads, it’s up to the FBI Mobile Response Team to catch a serial killer before anyone else ends up dead. And they have the perfect bait—Detective Kara Quinn, who bears an uncanny resemblance to the targeted women.
Undercover as newlyweds pretending to enjoy their honeymoon, Kara and FBI Agent Matt Costa set a flawless trap. When their plan works and they arrest the predator, Matt sends the rest of the team home so he and Kara can have the weekend for some much-needed R&R. But on Monday morning, the couple doesn’t show up to work, and the MRT learns they never checked out of their hotel.
As their team tries to find them, Matt and Kara learn the truth—the killer wasn’t acting alone. He had a partner who succeeded where he failed. Kidnapped and forced into a twisted escape room, they need to find a way out, because if they don’t escape, they’ll die.
High intensity drama and intrigue! Brennan is giving us one of the most intense Quinn and Costa thrillers yet because our favorite duo winds up in the danger of a lifetime. I love this team as a whole because they care so much about each other in addition to their allegiance to justice. We are quickly thrust into the ending of what they think to be a wrapped up case, but all is not as it seems and when Quinn and Costa don’t return to work the following Monday morning, the team realizes they are in peril. Great characters, good development of the bad guys, and a decent amount of backstory on the team to catch anyone not following along in the series up on who is who. I always wind up wanting to see just a smidge more of them in their life outside of work but the series is great and this book in particular kept me riveted. Highly recommend the entire series!
