About this ebook

He had it planned out to perfection. She was weak and pathetic, past the point of fighting for her life. She must know she couldn’t win, and soon it would all be over…on the count of three.

A woman is reported missing in Miami, Florida, and Detective Kelly Marsh starts the investigation into her disappearance. But Marsh soon recognizes notable similarities between this woman’s history and that of two victims, brutally murdered, their cases still unsolved. Marsh’s gut tells her the killer may be back, and she’ll need assistance from the FBI to take down this monster. Special Agent Brandon Fisher and his team with the Behavioral Analysis Unit jet south to coordinate their efforts with the local detective.

With evidence mounting that the missing woman’s fate is looking much the same as the other victims, Brandon and the others must work at their highest level of efficiency and cunning if they’re going to stand a chance of saving her. After all, as they quickly come to realize, they’re hunting a killer with an insatiable appetite for blood. And if the FBI team isn’t careful, one of them may not make it out of Miami alive.

On the Count of Three is a totally chilling crime thriller packed with suspense. Perfect for fans of Catherine Coulter, JT Ellison, and Patricia Cornwell.

Ratings and reviews

Miami Homicide Detective Kelly Marsh calls an old acquaintance in the FBI ... Special Agent Jack Harper, the head of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. The daughter of the mayor of Miami has disappeared and Kelly is afraid she has a serial killer on her hands. There are already two unsolved murders and this will be the third. The two previous cases disappeared and three days later their heads were found ... but never their bodies. Harper gathers up his team including Agent Brandon Fisher and Profiler ... the relative newbie. When they start investigating, they start connecting the dots. All three of the victims have served jail time for DUI Vehicular Homicide. But Brandon isn't so sure the third missing woman hasn't left on her own. This puts him at odds with Kelly .. and Kelly evidently has a special place in Harper's life. Brandon wants to start going backwards to see if there are any other victims that may have been overlooked. What they find stuns them all! The longer they investigate, the closer to the killer's identity they get .. and the killer has no intention of being caught. He will kill them first. On the Count of Three is the seventh installment in the international bestselling Brandon Fisher FBI series. Although this one reads easily as a stand alone, I highly recommend starting at the very beginning. Many thanks to the author / HIbbert & Stiles Publishing for the advanced digital copy of this crime fiction. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

Another brilliant and excellent psychological thriller and we are on the case again with Brandon Fisher and his acquaintances. How do you find out who is sending decapitated heads as messages? Carolyn Arnold's brilliant insight to detective lines of inquiry and thought process is second to none. The creation of smart and intelligent criminals adds to the story line with no hints as to the mastermind behind the killings or their reason for them. keeps the reader enrapt and intrigued. The book is a fast paced page turner that keeps the reader enrapt and intrigued to find out if the authorities will catch the culprit before he strikes again. I have read several novels by the author and have never been disappointed in their content, intrigue, brilliant descriptive writing and the way she draws to her conclusions. The characters go from strength to strength in every novel they appear. Having read a lot of British murder mysteries, Carolyn is becoming one of my favorites from over the pond and always look forward to her next publication and should be on any readers list. As with any good detective series I hope they make it into a TV series.

Top notch this one really had me going until the end.
