Absolutely fantastic! This book is not only well-crafted but also brings a unique perspective. The narrative maintains an engaging pace, keeping me guessing about the killer's identity until the very end. For enthusiasts of mysteries and thrillers, I wholeheartedly recommend this, and I'm eagerly looking forward to diving into the rest of the series!

If it weren't for the need to sleep for work, I would have devoured this book without a pause. As a weather enthusiast, this story was right up my alley, much like tornadoes – a must-read!

A special thank you goes to Iain Henn, The Book Folks, and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

I love Iain Henn's Unsolvable Crimes as they're very original and gripping. This is up to the other in this series and I had fun, found it gripping and surprising.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

In the midst of Tornado Alley, a serial killer is leveraging the fury of nature to commit unspeakable crimes, leaving a trail of devastation and bewilderment in their wake. But when a young girl's haunting account of a mysterious being during a tornado hints at forces beyond human understanding, seasoned FBI agent Ilona Farris is compelled to investigate.

As Farris partners with a team of storm chasers, their pursuit of the killer becomes a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. With each new twist, the mystery deepens, and the body count rises. The Storm Killings masterfully weaves together elements of suspense, intrigue, and supernatural undertones, keeping you on the edge of your seat.

Ilona and the other members of the UCU are on the trail of the Storm Killer. A killer that uses tornadoes as cover to kill self owned business women, making their deaths look like storm related injuries. This is the first novel by Iain Henn. Although the writing was well thought out, the book felt a bit too long. Also, the use of ‘new’ technology feels like a way to advance the story. The readability and storyline are why I gave this book four stars.

This was fantastic! It's well-written and unique. It moved at a good pace and I was wondering who the killer was until the end. I would recommend this to those who enjoy mysteries and thrillers. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series! Special Thank You to Iain Henn, The Book Folks and NetGalley for allowing me to read a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

As storm season rolls through, so do some deaths that are marked as from the tornadoes. But when a computer program begins to link the deaths, the team realizes there is more going on than just storm damage and accidental death. Murders are happening during these storms. The team races to find the culprit, while staying out of the path of the oncoming storms.

I really enjoyed this one! I had not read anything by this author before, but it was good. Kept me engaged and wanting to know what was going to happen next. Now, I need to hunt down the first two books and read through those! It was fun to see one of the places that I used to live mentioned in the book.

Ever wondered if humans can summon tornados and control them for their own personal needs? This story explores the depths of that question while keeping you on your toes. As someone from Tornado Alley I was highly impressed with the knowledge that was put into the story regarding the location, people and beliefs of the area. The characters are relatable and real. The chase is intense. And there are many suspicious characters to keep you wondering who is the murderer.
If I didn’t have to get sleep for work I would have read this without stopping.

This book was definitely a bit different! The storyline at times was a little out there! I guess most of it was explained but it was still a bit out of my normal reading. It was a decent read, it had good suspense, intrigue, action packed, murder, serial killers, a tricky who done it and some crazy twists and turns! It also had a few side characters that got in on all the action! It was a good read I would recommend reading it but it wasn't one of my top favorites! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

At last! A crime thriller that delivers thrills! The plot is innovative, original...and damned good. The pace is quite literally breathtaking and I could hardly turn the pages fast enough to keep up. On top of all that there are some truly great characters.
This is the first book by Iain Henn I have ever read but now I have discovered him I am going to read his entire backlist and can't wait for him to publish more books in this great series.
Who would have thought that you could find echoes of The X-Files and The Twilight Zone in a story that is still one hundred percent realistic and engaging. I'm stunned and need a stiff drink after a denouement that raises the status of the genre to new heights.
