Blind Rage by Terri Persons

Genre: Thriller/Crime Fiction

There is a new victim every month. One by one, emotionally disturbed women are committing water-related suicide. At first hand, there isn't anything that connects them, other than the fact that they died by drowning. However, FBI Agent Saint Bernadette Saint Clare believes that this is no coincidence. There must be a serial killer on the loose. Two main suspects are Dr. Luke VonHader, a psychologist of the latest victim, and Finlay Wakefielder, a professor of two of the victims. Using her supernatural prowess and some help from a deceased FBI partner, Agent Saint Clare uncovers clues that may bring justice to the victims.

Brace yourself for a thrill of a read. This novel was mazelike with a pace so fast it'll leave you dizzy. There is some graphic stuff; the killer was very brutal and unrelenting – it's definitely not for the weak-hearted. I enjoyed this book as well as the protagonist. Bernadette's powers make her intrinsically unusual, but she was a strong heroine; it was really interesting to read about her. I thought her chemistry with her boss was rather dull, but her interactions with Agent Creed (her deceased FBI partner) made up for it. I love the whole plot – how they conducted the investigation even though it was mostly based on Bernadette's hunch, how the suspects reacted to the interrogations, and how they finally discovered the true culprit.
