If you’re after dark, twisty, nail-biting suspense, then look no further, for Helen Fields delivers all of these in spades in this intense psychological thriller that showcases all her talents as one of the best exponents of the genre.

I was sucked straight into the premise, which involves female protagonist Midnight Jones stumbling across a terrifying test result while carrying out her duties at a biotech company that provides psychological profiling services. When the warning ‘Profile K’ flashes up on her screen, she thinks it must be an anomaly or a joke, for the candidate who completed this test exhibits all the markers of a killer. Then a woman’s body is found …

With superb plot development and a boldly drawn protagonist, who is determined to get to the truth no matter the risk to her own life, this is a gripping, intoxicating read, packed full of menace, intrigue and unnerving glimpses into futuristic technology. It’s Fields at her absolute best and a must read for all thriller fans.

Yes! She's done it again! After reading and loving the institution I was keen to read another by Helen Fields and she didn't disappoint.
Brutal from the very first chapter, this book had me gripped the whole way through. I loved that Connie (from the institution) plays a small part in this one too. This is a heart pounding, edge of your seat, hold your breath kinda ride that's not for the faint of heart. I'm hoping this isn't the last we see of some of these characters.

Profile K, Midnight realizes this isn’t just a rare occurrence—it’s a potentially dangerous one, especially after hearing about a violent murder nearby.

This book is a gripping blend of corporate greed, manipulation, and a ruthless killer. Be warned, the crime scene descriptions are quite graphic. Midnight is a compelling character, growing more uncertain about who she can trust as the story unfolds, with a couple of genuinely shocking twists along the way. Though I was hesitant to dive into the futuristic premise at first, I’m glad I did, especially given the author's previous work. Eye-opening, intense, and thoroughly enjoyable!

Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for an advanced reader copy of Profile K in exchange for my honest review.

This is definitely not your average serial killer story line! Lots of complexity and creativity.

Well done.

Thank you to AVON BOOKS for sending me a copy of this title ahead of its release. I’d not read a book by this author at the time, but after this, I’ll certainly be reading more. I loved this book. The first chapter was probably one of the most confronting and powerful openers I’ve read in a long time - I even read my husband a section of it! Midnight was a strong character, full of loyalty to her beautiful sister, and a huge amount of decency to not let her gut be ignored. This book took twists and turns and hearing the viewpoint of Midnight along with the killer himself helped to add to the mystery, which was awesome. Just when I thought I was loving it, along came Doris. I won’t say anymore about her, because for anyone who hasn’t read this yet, I’ll leave the introduction and impact Doris has on Midnight and her sister for you to discover. I just loved her.

This unfortunately was a DNF for me. While I loved the Luc Callanach series and found them gripping, this book totally felt flat to me. I'm completely in the minority, I know, but honestly it started off badly for me when I read the sibling characters were called "Midnight" and "Dawn". Yawn AND eye roll. Please just give characters regular names if you want a story to be taken seriously. From thereon it felt unrealistic and unbelievable. I gave it to 27% and found I just wasn't interested in knowing what happened so I stopped reading it.

Been a long time since a book gripped me. This changes the game. Well written. Fabulous characters. Suspense. Believable plot. Loved it.

Fields has been a thriller author ive seen a lot of trusted book friends raving about for a while, so i finally decided to give her a shot! <i>Profile K</i> was such a unique story, blending a serial killer thriller with an almost sci-fi type of element. both the story and the writing of the characters were really strong, and made for a great binge read.

Criminal Profiling for the A I Generation. Profile K is a gripping thriller, where you get frustrated alongside Midnight, as she tries to walk the tightrope of doing the right thing and not owning up to how you know you need to do it.

Premise of the book is so different and interesting from anything I've read. Very well executed and well written with good pacing. Highly recommend.

A very entertaining read from Helen Fields. I'm not sure I'm that keen on this background character we've seen before, but it's an interesting story.

Please bring back Luc and Ava !

Anything this author writes is gold. Even though I long for more books from the Perfect series, I must say I really enjoyed this one. The concept was intriguing, the characters had depth and the plot was addictive. I was delighted to see returning character Connie feature here and the hints as to where this could go in the future were very exciting!

With thanks to author #HelenFields #AvonBooks and @netgalley for allowing us to read this one early!

Another fantastic book from Helen Fields. I love her writing style and all the characters in her books. Midnight Jones is a brilliant character, I felt instantly drawn to her and her life. The plot kept me intrigued and engaged and I thought the profiling elements really fun to read. Helen has a way of writing somewhat gory details, yet in a way the reader can't look away, I found myself staying up way to late because I honestly could not put the book down.

Midnight Jones works for Necto, a highly secretive company that specialises in the human brain, stumbles across a Profile K. I am pretty sure you can work out what K stands for. Midnight is also following the news after a girl was brutally murdered in her own home. And she is adamant these two things are linked.

I love this authors work, and I have read everything she's written so far. This story is no different. It has brutal crimes, and a serial killer on the run. All the characters were well written, and I especially loved the relationship between Midnight and her disabled twin sister, Dawn. I hope we see them both come back in a later story. It was great to see the return Connie Woolwine for a small part, as I also really enjoy her character. The story was really well written, with many twists and turns, and kept you on the edge of your seat until the very last sentence. Brilliant!!

Midnight Jones works for Necto, a neurotechnology company where she profiles applicants and collects data from their brain scans. Midnight comes across an abnormal scan, a person who lacks empathy or conscience. Someone that fits a sociopath profile, a profile they call Profile K. A profile they say that doesn’t exist.

Difficult to ignore, Midnight takes this to her bosses who tell her Profile K doesn’t exist but Midnight is not convinced especially when there’s a spate of murders. Midnight knows its Profile K and sets out to find out who this sadistic murderer is.

This book was brilliant and will have you sat at the edge of your seat. A tense dark psychological thriller that everyone should read!

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishing house and the author for the opportunity to read a complimentary copy of this book in return for a review based upon my honest opinion.

Midnight J works at Necto, a company that does psychological testing for employers; her job is to review the tests. Midnight comes across what she thinks must be an error as this applicant tests off the chart for psychopathy. Midnight watches the test and discovers it is not an error and that no matter how terrible the subject matters shown were, the applicant showed little to no emotion. Making this a profile K. When she goes to her supervisor he tells her she is wrong, there is no such thing. Midnight knows this is not true and when she tries to take it further up the ladder, she is sworn to secrecy, reminded of the NDA she signed and threatened with the loss of her job.
Midnight struggles with what to do when she realizes this applicant is a killer and if he hasn’t killed already, he soon will and wonders if the brutal killing the night before was his handywork.. As we follow Midnight as she tries to decide what to do, knowing that she must keep her twin sister, who has a mental disability, safe, I was on the edge of my seat. Will Midnight come forward and risk all to catch a killer, or will she get trapped by the killer herself.

I really enjoyed this book. The twists were fantastic and a great storyline that I had not read before. This author always writes a great thriller. I certainly hope to hear more from Midnight J.

I really enjoyed the premise of this book
I found it fast paced and I was very invested in the characters.
I felt the storyline held me attention, it was fast paced.
I would definitely recommend

I devoured this book, could not put it down. Such a brilliant storyline, loved that it was something a bit different to the normal thrillers.
Well written and an auto buy author for me

Wow...this is a fantastic read. It makes you look at people differently. A gripping storyline with many twists and amazing characters.
I'm looking forward to reading more

This is a tricky review for me to write because while I enjoyed parts of this book, there were aspects that just didn’t work. It felt very off kilter and I didn’t find Midnight a believable or interesting main character. There was far too much tech talk and it slowed down the story and made it all feel too far fetched. I had very high hopes for this but was ultimately disappointed. The high points were the antagonist who was very interesting.
