Summary: Reunited with the Quincys
Comment: "The Killing Hour" is Lisa Gardner at her best, revisiting the Quincy family. We first met Pierce Quincy and Lorraine (Rainey) Conner in "The Third Victim". They were reunited in "The Next Accident" wherein Kimberly Quincy, Pierce's daughter, was introduced. Now Kimberly gets to tell her story. Its a pleasure to see this character who we grew to love come into her own in this crisply written thriller that will keep you reading long into the night.
Kimberly Quincy is now at Quantico training to become an agent of the FBI like her dad. While out on a run she discovers the body of a young woman who is possibly the victim of a recently dormant psychopath once dubbed the Eco Killer. Because he has not struck in several years there is some doubt that he is back. However, is modus operandi is to grab two women using the first dead body to leave clues regarding the location of the other victim. Despite the doubts of her superiors Kimberly must risk her career and her life to try to save the next young victim. To be effective she must also come to terms with her past and the brutal deaths of her mother and sister. She gets help from Special Agent Michael (Mac) McCormack of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and from her dad and Rainey who have been called in to consult. Mac has his own reasons for pursuing the killer and their relationship adds spice to the quest.
Gardner deftly weaves the threads of several apparently unrelated incidents into a tale that is as engaging as it is frightening. This is a great summer read.

Involved since the first killing, Mac recognizes the serial killer's patterns. Young women are kidnapped in couples, the first body left in an easy to discover area and serving as a map to the second. Specifically, the killer taunts investigators with obscure clues that could possibly save the second woman's life if they move quickly enough. Of the previous eight victims, only was discovered alive because Mac pieced the clues together quickly enough. Now out of his jurisdiction, Mac dogged tracks the perpetrator with Kimberly's help.

Summary: Girl FBI Agent Chases After Serial Killer
Comment: Rookie FBI agent Kimberly Quinn is after a serial killer who abducts two women each time he attacks. The first he kills straightaway, leaving clues on the body as to the whereabouts of the second, who he kills later. Kimberly comes across one of the bodies while still in training at Quantico. In order to stay on the case she has to break rules and fight FBI politics even as she's trying to beat a deadline set by the killer. Kimberly may be a rookie, but she's determined, as determined as I was not to go to sleep until I finished this book.
