The Killing Season by Mason Cross
4.0
Carter Blake, whose name is not Carter Blake has a specific skill; he find people. Carter works for himself, so he is often hired by government agencies and wealthy individuals. He does not work for bad guys though. When he gets called in to help the FBI locate an escaped serial killer, it hits a little close to home for Carter, because he has had a run in with this guy before.
Also working the case is Elaine Banner, a up-and-coming agent who is put as second in charge of the manhunt. Although at first she resents Carter being their, she soon realizes that if they want to capture their man, they need Carter.
I admit that I did not think I was going to like this book. I thought it was going to be a guys book. Guns, violence, war, politics. I was stuck with my reverse sexist idea. This book completely proved me wrong. The story was riveting. I couldn't wait to follow along. The POV changes from Carter to Banner to the Serial killer. It was so interesting being in each of their minds. Carter and Banner were both very relatable characters and the bad guy was a bad guy, but he was not one dimensional. He had depth.
The only reason this book received 4 stars and not 5 is because the end was way to simple to figure out. I think it was suppose to be a big twist, but you could see it a mile away. That did not hinder my reading experience though. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers or profiling type books!
