About this ebook

From the New York Times bestseller Brenda Novak comes the next installment of Dr. Evelyn Talbot and her murderous home for psychopaths in Hello Again.

SHE CAN MAKE SENSE OF A COMPLEX CRIMINAL MIND.
Evelyn Talbot, a psychiatrist at a maximum-security prison in Alaska, studies some of the world's worst serial killers. But she’s about to meet her most elusive patient at Hanover House yet: Dr. Lyman Bishop, AKA the Zombie Maker given his fondness for performing ice-pick lobotomies on his victims. A brilliant cancer researcher, Bishop is either the most cunning psychopath Evelyn has ever encountered—or he is wrongly convicted.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CRIMINAL CAN SEE INTO HER OWN?
When a new ice-pick fatality occurs, it seems Bishop really was wrongly convicted. Except...Evelyn has a personal connection to the victim and that suggests the killer may be someone from her own past: Jasper Moore, her high school boyfriend who tortured her and left her for dead when she was only sixteen. Jasper also murdered three of her friends—and was never caught. Is he trying to send a message with this copycat crime? The only thing Evelyn knows for sure is that if Jasper is on her trail, she might not be able to escape again . . .

Ratings and reviews

Amazing!!! Evelyn Talbot is the psychiatrist at Hanover House, a maximum security prison in Alaska. A new inmate, Lyman Bishop has arrived. Dr Talbot will try to get into his mind to see what makes him tick. Jasper, who tried to kill Evelyn years ago is still on the loose. He is one sick man!! All I can say is wow! Then you have the romance between Evelyn and Amarok, he is so good to her. I'm happy to see Evelyn coming out her shell of protection. This is a book that will keep you turning the pages and checking your own safety. I don't know what I'm going to do until the next book comes out in the series. I do recommend that you read them in order, a better understanding of the characters.

This is a fantastic addition to the series. It's the second full length book and I recommend that this series be read in order of publication beginning with Hanover House The prequel novella that started it all. Part romantic suspense, part thriller, this entire series will keep you on the edge of your seat. In this installment Evelyn is working with a new inmate Dr. Lyman Bishop. Known as the Zombie Maker. The further the case progresses and then when another murder occurs Evelyn begins to wonder if her own past is coming back to haunt her once again. This is an amazing series and one that I would recommend to everyone.

Hello Again is Book 2 of the Evelyn Talbot Chronicles and while it certainly could stand fine on its own, I do recommend starting with the prequel, Hanover House to be filled in on the entire back story of all that has happened leading up to this point. I've enjoyed everything Ms. Novak has ever written whether it be historical, contemporary or suspense, but nothing compares to this series. It has surpassed my highest expectations with her vivid and engaging writing style. This story drew me in right from the start and still hasn't let go. With every twist and turn Ms. Novak took, my nails got a little bit shorter and my heart pounded even harder. The climatic ending left me gasping for air and impatiently waiting for the next book in the series. This was certainly one of the best books (and series!) I've read to date.
