About the Book

When a cold-case serial killer returns, FBI special agent Fiona Kelly has one last chance to stop him before he claims the prize he’s always wanted—her.

The sight of a goose feather at a murder scene modeled after a children’s poem is enough to make FBI special agent Fiona Kelly’s blood turn to ice. Almost two decades ago, a feather was left with her sister’s body—and with every subsequent victim of the Nursery Rhyme Killer. Now he’s back. Only this time, his latest gruesome murder is a message to the only one who ever got away: Fiona.

Finding “Rhyme” is an obsession that’s fueled Fiona’s career—and destroyed her marriage to fellow FBI agent Asa Kodiak. Now Fiona and Asa have to put their past tensions aside and work together one last time. But Rhyme is watching, and catching this killer may force Fiona to reveal her biggest, darkest secret…the one only he knows.

In My Opinion

The best thing a suspenseful book can do to make the biggest impact on me is leave me surprised at the ending, and Her Darkest Secret by Jessica R. Patch delivered.

This psychological thriller includes a team working for the strange crimes division and a serial killer that will creep you out more than a little bit. Patch does an excellent job of creating a team of people reader will root for. This book focuses on Fiona Kelly who is the one person who has been captured by Rhyme and gotten away.

This book has lots of twists and turns as the team races to track down Rhyme before he finds his next victim. Add a little tension in there when Fiona returns to Memphis to join the investigation led by her ex-husband.

I was completely shocked by the ending. I thought I had an idea of who it was, but I definitely didn’t see the ending coming. And I will be snatching up the next book as soon as it’s available.
