TLC Book Tour: The Stranger You Know by Andrea Kane

Series: Forensic Instincts

Hardcover: 368 pages

Publisher: Harlequin MIRA (September 24, 2013)

It begins with a chilling phone call to Casey Woods. And ends with another girl dead.
College-age girls with long red hair. Brutally murdered, they’re posed like victims in a film noir. Each crime scene is eerily similar to the twisted fantasy of a serial offender now serving thirty years to life—a criminal brought to justice with the help of Forensic Instincts.
Call. Kill. Repeat. But the similarities are more than one psychopath’s desire to outdo another. As more red-haired victims are added to the body count, it becomes clear that each one has been chosen because of a unique connection to Casey—a connection that grows closer and closer to her.
Now the Forensic Instincts team must race to uncover the identity of a serial killer before his ever-tightening circle of death closes in on Casey as the ultimate target. As the stalker methodically moves in on his prey, his actions make one thing clear: he knows everything about Casey. And Casey realizes that this psychopath won’t stop until he makes sure she’s dead.

I think it's pretty comical that I was asked to review this because of my blog name, Red Headed Book Child, and the fact that the book is about a serial killer that preys on redheads. Why the heck not? I have heard so many good things about Andrea Kane. Marce over at Tea Time with Marce has raved about her and we tend to have pretty similar tastes.

I have to say this was a pretty decent read. It was pretty simplistic writing. Nothing overly in depth. Straight forward. It was fast paced enough to keep me going and I liked the whole idea of the Forensic Instincts Team. 

Andrea Kane's website describes the team as " an eclectic team of maverick investigators, each with different talents and personalities, all with one common bond—a blatant disregard for authority." I would have to agree with that. Whether they have psychic abilities or some other eclectic talent, I enjoyed that twist to the mystery. That is what stood out for me. I think fans of Paranormal romance even would like this.

There are two others in this series and I'm certainly curious about them. If I'm looking for a quick, easy read I may pick them up. Like I said, I enjoyed it but it wasn't anything that made me think too much! Maybe that's a good thing every now and again.

Thanks to Lisa for having me on this tour!
