Ratings and reviews

No Quarter did not meet the usual standards set by the author. In my view, the characters are not convincing, i.e., an FBI agent with mental health problems, a doctor who is highly recognized in the psychiatric field who does not know the basics about profiling serial killers, or a team of agents that have dialogues resembling mother/father/child. The plot, however, is good and fast-paced, providing entertainment for the reader.

Coming to close to home for Valerie as the team and her work to figure out why the patients are being killed out. Excellent plot with twists to the end, well done. Given ARC for my voluntary review

This is admirable considering that Agent Law experiences hallucinations and still manages to identify the serial killer. The way the plot twists are structured will have you on the edge of your seat until the very end, and you'll be left eagerly anticipating the next installment of the series, as I am right now.
