Oh what fun games can be! There is always cat and mouse or
hide and seek, but when they are played by psychotic
killers, those games take on a whole new adrenaline high --
at least for the killers.
FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit is a specially trained unit
that delves into the minds of serial killers for the purpose
of getting them before they get to their next victim. Called
into Lawrence, Kansas, the team is sent in to profile and
find the sick-o murderer or murderers whose victims seem to
have homelessness as their only common thread.
Collaborating with the locals, the team sets about fighting
time and stigmas of this small college town. The town
government seems to want to sweep the problem of
homelessness under the rug, but they did not have this in
mind. But who knows what is in the mind of killers? Can it
really be as simple as gathering a group of specialist to
research the aspects of this serial murderer to catch him or
her before the next strike?
In addition to the murders in this small town, there is a
kidnapping. The odds of serial murders and a kidnapping
happening at the same time in this a town this size are
almost unheard of, unless they are connected somehow.
Therein lies the next dimension of the mystery. Is the
missing college student a victim or a killer?
Finally, complete the victim profiles with cleaned up men
and women who have looked like they were dressed up and well
fed. Drugged maybe, but they each looked like they were in
a game of cat and mouse with their assailant only after they
have had a good cleaning up. How did these killers get a
group of people to trust that are naturally not very
trusting by nature? Unfortunately, there is nothing natural
about any of this. It is just the horrific acts of some very
sick minds.
CRIMINAL MINDS: JUMP CUT is an excellent, well organized
psychological thriller. The research and profiling of serial
killers is compelling. The detailed insights of each member
on the team make the book read like a finely tuned machine.
Every statement is critical and every move is exact. The
writing is phenomenal. I have never seen the show in which
this book is based, but I can't wait until next week so I
can tune in to see if it is as good as the novel.
The Behavioral
Analysis Unit, an elite team of FBI profilers, are tasked
with examining the nation's most twisted criminal
minds-anticipating their next moves before they strike again...
