Not Like Us (An Ilse Beck FBI Suspense Thriller—Book 1)

By Ava Strong

NOT LIKE US (An Ilse Beck FBI Suspense Thriller—Book 1) is the debut novel in a new series by mystery and suspense author Ava Strong.

FBI Special Agent Ilse Beck, victim of a traumatic childhood in Germany, moved to the U.S. to become a renowned psychologist specializing in PTSD, and the world’s leading expert in the unique trauma of serial-killer survivors. By studying the psychology of their survivors, Ilse has a unique and unparalleled expertise in the true psychology of serial killers. She had no idea, though, that she would become an FBI agent herself.

Nothing, though, can prepare Ilse for her new patient, a survivor from a roadside brush with a serial killer. The patient, paranoid, believes she is still being watched by the killer. And when the killer claims a new victim, the FBI needs Ilse’s help to solve it.

This case and this killer, though, strike too close to home for Ilse’s comfort. When she realizes that she herself is being targeted, the trauma of her own past comes full circle.

Can Ilse use her brilliant instincts to enter the mind of this killer and stop him before he strikes again?

And will she save herself?

A dark and suspenseful crime thriller, the ILSE BECK series is a breathtaking page-turner, unputdownable from the first word. A compelling and perplexing mystery, rife with twists and jaw-dropping secrets, it will make you fall in love with a brilliant new character, while it keeps you shocked late into the night.

Books #2, #3 and #4 in the series—NOT LIKE HE SEEMED, NOT LIKE YESTERDAY and NOT LIKE THIS—are also available.

Ratings and reviews

This is the third book I have stopped listening to by the same author simply because of the very bad narrator.... 'over-acting' the characters , her voice over-acted and grating to listen to , almost yelling at times ... Awful narration. It really ruins the entire story! Annoying thing is, the books appear interesting but the narrator.... very , very bad... I will not listen to any audio book with this reader/narrator.... aweful...

What a ride ! This crime novel is a fantastic character study into abnormal psychology. If you like chills up your spine, this one's for you.

very difficult to get into the American story read with an English accent. she did a good job but I kept thinking it took place in England not the US. the Grammer and pronunciation was off in many ways.
