Into The Black Nowhere by author Meg Gardiner is the sequel to the Unsub, the first book in her newest thriller series. Caitlin Hendrix left California to join the FBI’s Behavior Analysis Unit. Her first case involves a number of women who disappeared on a Saturday night in Texas including a mother that vanished and left her crying child alone in her home. A few days later two bodies are found in the woods. Both women are dressed in white nightgowns and bled dry. It’s up to Caitlin and her team to race against the clock to find out who this UNSUB is and stop them before they strike again.
I managed to finish reading it in three days. That is a new record for me. I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish. Once the killer was revealed the story continues on and ups the ante as far as the writing. Not once did the story lag. I put the book down a few times and that was only to shower and sleep. Caitlin Hendrix is one of my new favorite characters. She’s an awesome protagonist who despite her trauma and past refuses to allow herself to give up. I admire her for that.
The antagonist in this book is a trip. I truly believe that there are people like him in the world at this moment. The one thing that I liked about Meg Gardiner’s writing is that her characters are realistic and human. Each one reminds me of someone that I have encountered in my life. Into the Black Nowhere is very engaging and exceeded my expectations. It was even better than Unsub. The story did not end on a predictable note. It kept me guessing from start to finish. I recommend this book to fans of Stephen King, James Patterson, Riley Sager and AJ Finn. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Wow, this book is KILLER!
As someone obsessed with true crime, it was really cool drawing the comparisons between the fiction and the facts. I was pulled in by this book from the start, and couldn't stop reading it all the way to the end.
I literally can't wait for the next to come out!

Felt like an episode of NCIS. Not bad but not my fave. Author has some literal “ticks” I found annoying. Chapter jumping prematurely was also odd.
Not sure if I’d read another UNSUB book when there’s so much excellent crime fiction out there.

This book feels more like a study into the mind of an FBI profiler than a procedural book.
It's well written but it spent too much time, for my liking, inside Caitlin's head and not enough time investigating the UNSUB , it felt really sloppy and just boring.
I don't think I'll continue this series, Im ok with knowing about the detectives but not this much.

I’m loving the UNSUB series by Meg Gardiner! Into the Black Nowhere is the latest entry in the series and I think it is better than UNSUB! This book pulled me in and was good from start to finish. The subject matter of a serial killer and some parallels with real serial killer tactics made it very interesting and chilling at times. I highly recommend it!

Overall I enjoyed this serial killer novel and there were some good twists thrown in along the way. There were definitely parallels to the Ted Bundy killings. However the repeated instances of incompetence by local police forces became an annoyance to me and kept this book from getting 5 stars.
