Killing wasn’t a game. It was very serious business. Supervisory Special Agent Grace Billingsley, works with the Behavioral Analysis Unit as a profiler, particularly in crimes against adults. Unfortunately these can be quite horrific and at times, very difficult to profile as well as to solve. Why has the threat suddenly arrived on her doorstep? Will the perpetrator or perpetrators be caught before more must die? Sam Monroe is a prison psychiatrist with a very interesting family background. Does this in any way connect to the current killer? Will the agents find the connection before it is too late, especially as Grace appears to also be a target? This ARC was received through Revell and Baker Publishing Group.

Lynette Eason is known for her dynamic writing of bestselling romantic suspense novels. In Critical Threat (Extreme Measures, Book #3) Eason has devised a plot that is loaded with edge-of-your-seat suspense! Her characters are crisp and relatable and draw you into the story. Eason based her plot on psychiatrist and behavioral analyst FBI Special Agent Grace Billingsley and her ability to recognize the signs of a serial killer. It will require all of her skill, hard work, and some luck to find the serial killer that is presently terrorizing the local older women. As she begins to build her profile, the FBI decides to loop in prison psychiatrist Sam Monroe, who adds a unique perspective because he is the son of a notorious serial killer. He knows how serial killers work while they are still incarcerated. As the story develops, so does the suspense when Grace becomes one of the hunted as well! Will Grace and Sam’s growing attraction to each other be a help or a hindrance as they race to solve the identity of the serial killer? This book deserves more than 5 Stars!
