Scary, chilling and terrifyingly twisted - the latest Sophie Anderson novel will have you frozen with fear.Aussie FBI profiler Sophie Anderson is ready for a new life - a new home and a new job at the Bureau's Los Angeles office. She hopes working in the field again will bring her closer to her cases...and her ability to see into the minds of killers and victims.Within days of Sophie's arrival in LA, her theory is put to the test when a best-selling crime novelist is murdered - strangled with a pair of stockings, just like the character in her last book. Before her death, the writer received letters from 'A fan' that had grown increasingly disturbing. When Sophie discovers a link to the murder of a second crime novelist, and another goes missing, she must get inside the mind of the crazed fan.

A good read, I had worked out the killer but that didn't spoil it, Sophie is a good character and the twists and turns take you on a good journey.

The third book in the Sophie Anderson series and a very different case to the first two books. There's still murder but perhaps not a serial killer this time ... or is it?
Sophie has to be the guide for a crime author around her FBI office (life imitating art perhaps) who she really doesn't take too. It's not long before the author turns up dead and seemingly in an imitation of one of her novels.
As Sophie investigates more cases come to light of authors killed in the same manner as their fictional victims and their fan mail becomes a key part of the investigation.
It certainly felt like a brave story for an author to write - a serial killer selecting authors as victims and letting them die in the methods they invented for their books as some kind of divine justice.
Like the first two books it's well written and that plot keeps developing right to the end of the book. Sophie is an Aussie in America, working as a profiler for the FBI and she's both a likeable character and a strong female lead. She gets psychic visions/dreams but this doesn't dominate the books rather adds an extra dimension to the story. Sophie is definately an FBI office first with her paranomrmal abilities an additional tool.
She is developing her visions and realises their usefulness for working in the field rather than being office bound. But it's primarily a crime series.
Another very enjoyable installment in the series.

Very entertaining

I had never read anything by author PD Martin but the first thing that immediately attracted me to this novel is the humour. I love that the author decided to give the main character Sophie a bit of a sense of humour - which although not overtly demonstrated is still there in the description and dialogues.
Sophie is moving on, but not before she gets to meet Loretta who is a novelist looking for some "hands on" experiences of the FBI and their Behavioral Analysis Unit or as they say in the TV show Criminal Minds BAU (must easier to say and write).
However, shortly afer Sophie and Loretta's tour, Sophie learns that Loretta was brutally murdered and that she received a very odd piece of fan mail prior to her death - as a matter of fact this letter is appearing next to each murdered author as the work of a serial killer focusing on authors.
Sophie must invetigate and in the middle of the investigation, she will end up discovering some scary information that will put her smack in the middle of the serial killer's path.
Although i can't say that this book reaches the peaks of "whodunnit", it nonetheless managed to keep me absolutely glued to the book until I found out who the killer was and WHY they did it.
The pacing was very good and the writing was a lot of fun to read. Although the author does give us some background on the FBI BAU unit, its kept too a minimum as is much of the "procedural" information which I am grateful for.
This book was alot of fun to read and I found myself a little annoyed that it ended.
