Maidens of the Cave by Lloyd Devereux Richards

We meet Christine Prusik, a feisty FBI agent, who doesn’t like to follow the rules but always solves cases.

Christine is told that she has no business investigating the deaths of two young women on a college campus because it is out of the FBI’s jurisdiction, but she doesn’t care.  She cares about making sure there isn’t another victim.

She ignores orders from her supervisor to be at a meeting in person and to have some profile completed and turned in.  Of course, Christine doesn’t listen...she has leads and is going to catch this serial killer.

The biggest clue is that there is a ring-sized mark on both victims which to her indicates these cases are related and that the killer is educated, clever, cunning, and very evil.

Christine is a likable character in this second book, and a book I was perfectly fine starting with.  It is readable as a stand alone.

I was a little skeptical at first thinking this was going to be all about FBI procedure, but was pleased when that went on the back burner and the search for the killer took over.

True crime buffs will enjoy this book that has descriptive writing and a story line that keeps you turning the pages.

The conclusion is edge-of-your-seat.  5/5

This book was given to me by the publisher for an honest review.
