Review of "Mind Games" by Nancy Mehl

The first in the exciting new Kaely Quinn Profiler series!

FBI Special Agent Kaely Quinn's unusual background (her father was a serial killer) and creative process for profiling (she 'has dinner' with her unknown suspects as part of her process) have kept her at a distance from the rest of the world. Her unique skill set, combined with a passionate focus on her work, allows very little time for friendships of any kind.

When the St. Louis FBI office receives a "eulogy for Kaely Quinn" poem, they quickly realize there is likely a budding serial killer on the loose - and the killer's end game is Kaely's death. Recently widowed Special Agent Noah Hunter is assigned to lead the case; he is initially leery to partner with Kaely - and more than a little curious - but is determined to be professional and work with her to figure it out.
 
Although I did have my suspicions on who the culprit eventually was, I was truly kept guessing up until the literal last minute. I also loved all of the unexpected and very clever surprises that were sprinkled throughout the book, especially at the end. This is not the usual crime/FBI/suspense novel - it is extra creative, interesting, and just plain good overall. I can't wait for the second book!

I was provided a copy of this book by Baker Publishing Group in exchange for my honest review.
