robinmy avatar reviewed on + 2106 more book reviews


Casey Woods is contacted by a frantic Judge Hope Willis who explains that her daughter has been kidnapped and wants Casey's team on the case. Forensic Instincts is a group of experts who aren't afraid to bend the law to get their job done. Now they are helping the police and FBI search for Krissy Willis who was taken from school grounds. Soon Casey and her team are uncovering possible connections to the mob, a possible ransom, and secrets from another kidnapping 30 years ago.

As the team interviews Krissy's parents and nanny, a large suspect list begins to develop. While Casey and her team track down clues and eliminate suspects, they know that the hopes of finding Krissy alive are getting slimmer and slimmer.

This is the first book in the series and we are introduced to many, many characters. Forensic Instincts is a group of private investigators that consists of Casey who is a behaviorist/profiler, Ryan the computer expert, and Marc a former Navy SEAL and ex-FBI agent. They are soon joined by a new member of the team, a bloodhound named "Hero". They are joined by the police, FBI, a clairvoyant, and a former agent who worked on the disappearance of a young girl many years ago. There are so many characters it sometimes was a little hard to remember what each person's role was in the investigation. I enjoyed the book, even though I thought the identity of the kidnapper was obvious. The story was interesting and I still wanted to know the reason behind the girl's disappearance. My rating: 4 Stars.
