At the Stroke of Madness by Alex KavaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
AT THE STROKE OF MADNESS is Alex Kava's 4th novel in the Maggie O'Dell Series and continues the life and work of the loner FBI agent.
Maggie receives a telephone call, whilst on vacation, from her best friend and psychologist, Gwen Patterson, asking her to help her find one of her patients who has disappeared, whilst attending her grandmother's funeral.
Maggie travels to Connecticut and begins an unofficial investigation, which soon turns into an official one when the body of a woman is discovered in an abandoned quarry, stuffed inside a waste drum. And as more bodies begin turning up, it becomes apparent that there is a serial killer on the loose.
The author introduces some very interesting secondary characters, in particular, Maggie's partner, R.J Tully...... although very different from each other, still have a good balance in working together
I liked the use of the multiple points of view, which gives you a look into the minds of the characters.
You are constantly being misdirected by clues and twists, as to the identity of the killer.
A nicely paced and good read.
