Bk 3 of Intense Romantic Suspense
5 out of 5 stars
Babbling Becky L - 5 years ago
If you like intense romantic suspense, with the emphasis on suspense, this Kaely Quinn, Profiler series by Nancy Mehl may be the one for you. I just finished the third and final book, Dead End. Personally, Mehl has taken me to the end of my ability to endure with her Kaely character. Kaely is very focused on her work and will let nothing get in the way of her catching the worst criminals. Even if her methods are unorthodox. Unfortunately, her pride threatens her relationships with God and her special coworker, Noah.
Noah and Kaely travel to Iowa to interview Kaely’s father, an infamous serial killer, in hopes of stopping a new serial killer. While Kaely may be the only hope to get the Raggedy Man to talk, will she self-destruct before the mission is accomplished?
Noah grows by leaps and bounds in this novel, but I almost want to tell Noah he’s headed down a dead-end path.
Never did I see the ending coming.
I appreciated that Mehl shows
equal parts evil and good in this fictional crime-chiller story. Mehl shows that man’s depravity comes from the pit itself. Only God can combat that kind of horrendous opposition, and we must be fully equipped. As such, there is a lot of Scripture included in this book.
Who will Kaely rely on- herself, her unusual friend, God, and or Noah?
Noah knows God doesn’t always rescue His people. Grab this book and grab your closest huggable as you read super-speed to discover whether Kaely can survive.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book from the author and publisher through NetGalley. This in no way influenced my opinions, which are solely my own.
Intriguing Christian Suspense!

I loved this book! Kaely Quinn Profiler has been one of my favorite series and this is the perfect way to end it. Dead End centers around finding a Copycat Killer who targets young women by using the methods of the infamous serial killer known as the Raggedy Man. Kaely Quinn's father is the Raggedy Man who has previously been mentioned but this book finally allows us to see the two of them together.
If you enjoy psychological thrillers filled with spiritual themes and Christian romance, you will want to read Dead End! I am looking forward to more great reading from this author.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my honest thoughts.

Dead End, by Nancy Mehl, is book 3 in the Kaely Quinn Profiler series. This is an action packed, suspenseful, whodoneit story that is very hard to put down. The story starts with a man receiving yet another weird gift from his wife, this time a metal detector. While using his gift, he finds a dead body. The criminal investigation finds many more bodies. It appears there is a Copycat murderer that is using the same MO as Kaely Quinn's father, Ed. Ed has been in prison for twenty years and keeps to himself. Some of the MO has never been released to the public.
Kaely is called in to return to her hometown and try to find out if her father is working with someone to kill more women. She had vowed to never return and has spend he life trying to forget her father.
I have really enjoyed this series. It is written so well, it is hard to put down. The characters have developed during this series and we have been updated about her family. In this book we see how Kaely was affect by what her father did. We also see how the working relationship between her and Noah has changed. I would recommend this series to anyone who likes crime stories.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley. This is my honest review.
So Interesting!

"Punishing the children for the sin of the parents."
What kind of sick message was this killer sending, putting the words of Scripture inside the mouths of his victims? It was already nearly incomprehensible that Kailey Quinn's father could have possibly trained a protege. But hard evidence was pointing in that direction.
As an F. B. I. Special Agent, Kailey knows how to analyze behavior, but to be asked to interview her own father . . . a convicted psychopathic serial killer? At a risk to her own psyche, she agrees, teaming with the one man whom she trusts more than any other, Noah Hunter. But even Noah has his doubts about Kailey's clarity of mind; can she prove him otherwise . . . or will this encounter with the infamous Ed Oliphant become a "dead end"? It's a race against time, for young women are continuing to die.
"In the dark of night, I'll be there. I love you so, and I'll never let you go." This book will leave many of Mehl's readers requesting an encore performance from these two memorably unique teammates.
