Representaion To Books A Perfect Evil (Maggie O'Dell #1)
A killer is watching . . .The brutal murders of three young boys paralyze the citizens of Platte City, Nebraska. What's worse is the grim realization that the man recently executed for the crimes was a copycat. When Sheriff Nick Morrelli is called to the scene of another grisly murder, it becomes clear that the real predator is still at large, waiting to kill again.
Morreli understands the urgency of the case terrorizing his community, but it's the experienced eye of FBI criminal profiler Maggie O'Dell that pinpoints the true nature of the evil behind the killings -- a revelation made all the more horrific when Morrelli's own nephew goes missing.
Maggie understands something else: the killer is enjoying himself, relishing his ability to stay one step ahead of her, making this case more personal by the hour. Because out there, watching, is a killer with a heart of pure and perfect evil.

I've just discoved the show "Criminal Minds" and it's become one of my very favorites. So when I picked up this book featuring Maggie O'Dell and she is a criminal profiler for the FBI I just jumped for joy.Not very suspenseful, even if some reviews say otherwise.Nice romance, but way too much, and no real sex scenes.Ending saved it somehow, as I really liked the cliffhanger ending leading into the next book. Also not everything is solved with history repeating itself, not to spoil anything I will tell no more.What disturbed my reading-flow most, was the POV changing a lot, with POV from 5 or more different persons.

Reading this for an in-person book club. This doesn't seem their usual fare and will be my first time, so I'll be interested to see what they think of it. I'm wondering if the lure is because she is a hometown author and it takes place in Nebraska. This is one of those books where I rolled my eyes alot, had my suspicions that were fairly accurate, but I still wanted to find out what happened. The eye exercising is due to some stock characters and plot. There was the predictable steamy sexual
"A perfect Evil" started out really good but tetered out pretty fast. Overall it was okay, but it's still nowhere near a very good thriller.The story is pretty predictable --- even though there are several suspects thrown in throughout the story I daresay that anyone with half a brain will know after just a few chapters who the killer is.The characters are okay (nothing special, though). One thing that I found kinda strange is that even though the book is called "A Perfect Evil - A Maggie O'Dell
I love a book that keeps me up late reading and gets me out of bed early to grab just a few more pages before I start my day. Kava has done a stellar job building characters and settings and her Maggie O'Dell is my kind of strong if tortured protagonist.I liked the fast pace of this thriller. If the sign of a great book is that you feel like you are scrambling along a cold muddy river bank running and hiding for your life along side the victims and hunters then this is a great book. There are
Read: April-May 2018Rating: 3.5/5 starsWhat I liked:- The well-rounded main characters; Nick, Maggie and Christine were all complex and likeable.- The writing style; I found A Perfect Evil easy to read and looked forward to picking it up whenever I had the chance.- The bad guy(s); there were a couple of candidates for the killer and Kava kept me guessing almost to the very end.What I didn't like:- There were a couple of moments when characters made stupid decisions that didn't feel realistic and
