The Profiler's Daughter is a psychologically haunting thriller that combines murder mystery, love triangle, and family intrigue in one satisfying page burner. Sky Stone was born into the wealth and privilege of Boston's oldest Brahmin family but chooses instead to follow in the footsteps of her deceased father, legendary FBI profiler Monk Stone. In the chilly morning hours before the Boston Marathon, when a beautiful university student is found strangled and mutilated, her body left at the base of Heartbreak Hill, Sky returns from self-imposed exile to investigate.

Would you listen to The Profiler's Daughter again? Why?
Listened to this audiobook three times in a row to catch all the nuance.
What did you like best about this story?
The story had mystery, psychological thrills and romance.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
I did not care for the performance, but I am from Boston which is the setting for the book. some of the pronunciations were off. The reader made a caricature of Kyle O'Toole and poor Axelrod.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I can't wait for the next book in the series!

Best Perry Ever!

What did you love best about Blind Justice?
I have either read or listened to the entire Monk and Esther series; this book, with Sir Oliver's career, reputation and freedom in the balance was by far the best...and Davina Porter is perfect, as always.

Boston, 1926. The ‘20s are roaring. Liquor is flowing, bullets are flying, and one man sets out to make his mark on the world. Prohibition has given rise to an endless network of underground distilleries, speakeasies, gangsters, and corrupt cops. Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a prominent Boston police captain, has long since turned his back on his strict and proper upbringing. Now having graduated from a childhood of petty theft to a career in the pay of the city's most fearsome mobsters, Joe enjoys the spoils, thrills, and notoriety of being an outlaw.

The one good thing in Bosch's life, the person he holds most dear, is taken from him and Bosch travels to Hong Kong in an all-or-nothing bid to regain what he's lost. In a place known as Nine Dragons, as the city's Hungry Ghosts festival burns around him, Bosch puts aside everything he knows and risks everything he has in a desperate bid to outmatch the triad's ferocity.

The Hong Kong scenes were so descriptive that I could smell the food, see the smoke and feel the humidity.
