"Night Fall," by Nancy Mehl

 "Night Fall," by Nancy Mehl

Finally free of her troubled upbringing, Alex Donovan is able to live out her childhood dream of working for the FBI. But soon after she becomes a member of the FBI's elite Behavioral Analysis Unit, authorities in Missouri contact them about bodies found on freight trains--all killed in the same way.

Alex never expected to be forced to confront her past in this new job, but she immediately recognizes the graffiti messages the killer is leaving on the train cars. When the BAU sends her to gather information about the messages from her aunt in Wichita, Kansas, Alex is haunted by the struggles she thought she'd left behind forever.

In a race against time to solve the case and recover a deadly virus sample the killer intends to spread, Alex must face how far she'll go--and what she's willing to risk--to put a stop to the Train Man.

I have to say this book sucked you in, right from the very beginning.  As with all books you get an introduction/taste of the characters in the first chapters, and the way Nancy described them all, you knew this was going to be an interesting book.  There were so many ups and downs, that you just wanted to turn the page to see what happened next.

What was interesting, was this book is the first I have read that mentions the Covid-19 virus.  So it's a very up to date book.  I really would have loved to hear how Nancy came up with the idea for this book, as the story in itself was so different.

Stars out of 5 : 5 A solid 5 stars for me.  A portion of the mystery I never figured out until it was revealed in the book.  Another part I guessed but wasn't positive it was correct, again until it was revealed in the book.  I am looking forward to the next book in the series, as I bet it will be well worth reading.
