Usually, I am not very fond of this technique, however, here it didn’t bother me at all, maybe because I really enjoyed reading both Tatum and Zoe’s thoughts about each other and the case. The book is told from the two points of view of the main characters. And now, the old case seems to close in on her just as she is working the new one along with Tatum.

She is sure the killer from so many years ago in her small town was a guy she knew, yet the police would never listen to her theories from back when she was 14 years old. Zoe has her own demons from that past that constantly torment her.

Eventually, both Tatum and Zoe end up working the baffling case of an embalmer who kills his victims before turning them into life-size dolls. When Zoe finds this out, she is not overly thrilled, but she goes along with the story. What she doesn’t know is that she has been specifically requested by the FBI Agent Tatum Grey, who can’t get on well with the local PD and needs exactly her skills to get rid of the current profiler the Chicago PD works with, a guy who is nothing but a pompous talking head. Zoe is deeply in a case when she is suddenly pulled of it and directed to Chicago to another urgent case. Zoe is a civilian, however, she is consulting with the FBI as a forensic psychologist, many who call this profession a profiler. I was not quite sure what to expect since this author was new to me, but after finishing the story, I have just added Mike Omer as one of my new favorite thriller authors.Ī Killer’s Mind is the first book in a new series titled Zoe Bentley (which is the name of one of the two main characters in the book). I was in the mood for some serial-killer thrillers, so I picked up A Killer’s Mind by Mike Omer on a whim.
