Just too slow slow slow for me, too much profiling and not enough action, I gave up as it couldn't keep my interest.
In this instance, 'eleven' is not a number .... it is the number of underground graves found ..but only ten bodies.
This book introduces us to Brandon Fisher, a brand new Special Agent with the FBI on his first field outing. He's accompanied by his boss, who Brandon sorely wants to impress, and feels that he is failing.
There are all kinds of complications that shadow him. First of all, he is severely claustrophobic which is a big deal considering he must be climbing underground. Along on this case is also a young woman with whom he has a personal history .. although married, Brandon had carried on a short-term affair with her.
Upon investigating the man responsible for these horrendous murders, their prime subject is already in a state prison on unrelated charges. And things turn really ugly when Brandon himself is targeted as the next kill.
It's a terrific introduction to a new series. The characters are entertaining in their own ways. Brandon is young and unsure and that comes across as so believable. The secondary characters play a huge part in this first book. The boss is a bit on the sarcastic side, and though he tosses some zingers in Brandon's direction, he seems to want Brandon to succeed in his newly chosen career.
There were a couple of times when the activity seemed to slow down, but is totally acceptable when introducing a new series. It's all those little nuances that will follow in subsequent books.
The plot was well-written with a few twists and turns to keep the reader engaged. I look forward to following this series ... I think it will be quite interesting to see how Brandon grows into his new life.
