Now That She's Gone

Thank you NetGallery for the advance reading of Now That She's Gone. I have been a fan of this series for quite a while. Olsen knows his stuff when it comes to police procedures and creates a very likeable team, Kendall and Birdy. This is a stand alone, but I suggest you go back and read the others because they won't disappoint.
Returning character, Brenda Nevins, a serial killer who is gorgeous and dangerous is back to taunt Kendall and Birdy. Olsen brings to life some new blood with an interesting hitch - TV psychics that converge upon the small Seattle suburb to add more havoc to our ladies case load.
There are twists and turns, and really great dialogue that will keep you guessing till the end.
This was a very good read, and I highly recommend.

It was great to spend some time again with Brenda Nevins, a pure evil, psycho serial killer and the team of Birdy Waterman, the forensic examiner, and Kendall Stark, the detective. I love these characters who I first met in book one: The Girl in the Woods (Waterman and Stark, #1).

At first I was a bit disappointed because from reading the synopsis I expected Brenda Nevins to be the primary focus of the story. But then I very quickly became absorbed in the other characters (old & new) and their stories.

Gregg Olsen has written another good solid novel with intriguing characters, twists and turns that took me on an enjoyable journey of mystery, crime, suspense and the challenge of trying to figure it all out before he told me.

When I read the ending it left the door wide open for book #3 and to my delight it appears Brenda Nevins will be back full force in this one. Keeping my fingers crossed as I look forward to another Waterman and Stark (and much more of Nevins).

Thank you to NetGalley for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

This is the second in the Waterman and Stark series, and seriously the series is just getting better.
In this book pathologist Waterman and detective Stark is working together again. They have to catch a psychopathic killer that is out for getting revenge on the pair of them.
Throughout the book I was fascinated to see who would get who first, the baddy the good guys or the other way around.
Gregg Olsen spins a great story, with a lot of twists and turns, and this book did not disappoint.
Highly recommended!

Such a great series! Love Kendall's and Birdy's camaraderie and their team work! Great suspense that keeps you turning the page!!

Olsen pens another winner with a chilling novel featuring a woman serial killer. I am officially hooked on his books and have to read all of them now. Kendall Stark and Birdy Waterman make a dynamic team. Anticipating the next book and what's in store for us as readers gives me goose bumps. The cliffhanger ending had me shrieking in frustration because I want the next book now. Sigh!

I have read Gregg Olsen in the past but not one from this series. I always enjoy female serial killers but what I didn't enjoy was that there was too little story line for this character and more about the reality TV which I am not a big fan of. I will continue to read Gregg Olsen and am always looking forward to his next book Thanks Netgalley

While this is the second book in a series it can be read without reading the first one! I was lost in a few spots but not enough to make me put the book down. Although now I have to go and pick up the first book :)

The characters are dynamic and compelling. The bad guys (and there are many) are characters I want to hate but Gregg Olsen doesn't make the characters black and white. I had sympathy for some and empathy for others. I look forward to meeting up with these characters in future books!
