- Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen4/5Hunted by Elizabeth HeiterProfiler series Book #14 starsFrom The Book:Terror stalks a small Virginia town. FBI rising star, criminal profiler Evelyn Baine, knows how to think like a serial killer. But she's never chased anyone like the Bakersville Burier, who hunts young women and displays them, half-buried, deep in the woods. As the body count climbs, Evelyn's relentless pursuit of the killer puts her career—and her life—at risk. And the evil lurking in the Burier's mind may be more than even she can unravel. Terror is closer than she thinks. The Bakersville Burier knows he's got an FBI profiler on his trail. He knows who she is and where to find her. And he's biding his time, because he's planned a special punishment for Evelyn. She may have tracked other killers, but he vows to make this her last chase. This time it's her turn to be hunted.My Views:You can tell that the author either had law enforcement experience or else did a great deal of excellent research. She has produced a clear and crisply written tale of a hunt for a serial killer that abducts, kills and buries the bodies with the heads above ground so that he can visit them. The character of Evelyn Baine, the FBI profiler...the new gal in what has always been primarily a man's world...intelligent and professional...and being very careful to keep her guard up and not give in to her attraction to fellow agent, Kyle McKenzie, is a breath of fresh air in the world of Mystery & Suspense. I usually don't care for romance being mixed into this genre but in this case it's not overpowering the main plot and actually adds to it. This is the first book and I already have the second.
- Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen4/5The first in a promising new series about a smart and savvy young FBI profiler named Evelyn Baine who must try to ubcover the murderer of two young ladies who are buried with only their heads sticking out of the ground. Through her hard work she is able to find links to several other women who have been murdered in the past. This is fast passed, easy to read and kept my rapt attention till the very last page. As the plot develops even Baine becomes the focus of the sick killer. This is a very well written book and I eagerly look forward to the second in the series.
- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5Serial killers are almost a staple of crime thrillers, but in “Hunted” FBI profiler Evelyn Baine finds herself pursuing a particularly heinous killer who ultimately makes her his target. A can’t-put-it-down page-turner with a twist you’d never expect. Highly recommended.
- Bewertung: 5 von 5 Sternen5/5A great read. I flew through this novel. Could not put it down.
- Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen4/5Evelyn Baine is an FBI expert profiler in the agency's Bahavior Analysis Unit, or BAU. She is a tenacious, driven investigator, who is gnawing her way up the career ladder, motivated by a need to prove herself as a woman in an unit where men predominate, and for her own personal reasons. Her best friend was abducted when the two girls were eleven years old, and she was never seen again. She never knew what happened to her friend Cassie, but the serial killer she is chasing now has made the fate of his victims all too well-known, although that may not have been his intention. His gruesome method of displaying his victims' bodies gives Evelyn plenty of information to profile the killer, until it is clear he is stalking her as well.Hunted is Elizabeth Heiter's debut novel, the first of a series. She provides a fascinating insight into the minds of killers, and the psychological profiling used by the FBI to identify criminals, as well as to eliminate the innocent. As well as being a tensely written crime story, Heiter shows that as technology and investigative techniques advance, it is becoming more and more difficult to commit the perfect crime, but the skills of trained, dedicated detectives are still needed to bring criminals to justice. At the same time, Heiter's character Evelyn Baines struggles with the discrimination women face in a male-dominated field. After the killer, an expert at disguises and at acting a part, has slipped through their fingers yet again, Evelyn talks an extraordinary risk to finally put a stop to the killing spree.Author Heiter has created well-developed characters and a gripping story. I look forward to reading what happens next in The Profiler Series.(As published in Suspense Magazine)
- Bewertung: 3 von 5 Sternen3/5Hunted is a pretty decent debut novel about a female BAU profiler with a haunted past, an ongoing case, and a potential romance. Evelyn Baine, our heroine, is what most heroines in this genre are - tough, vulnerable, a little stiff, a bit put-upon, striving a little too hard for the respect of her male counterparts. When Evelyn is called in to assist with the hunt for the Bakersville Burier, she encounters a villain whose gruesome killings may be related to the death of her childhood best friend, Cassie. Evelyn is quickly drawn into the investigation and the book moves along at a good clip. Enlivened by its secondary characters, including Kyle (the handsome HRT squad member), Evelyn's story is a good first outing. Good writing and plotting and good pace, I enjoyed the read although it didn't stay with me and there's nothing that really makes Hunted a stand-out in this very crowded genre.
- Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen4/5After meeting the author during an event in my local bookstore, I decided to read this first book in her Profiler series-- especially when my husband bought all three books and enjoyed each and every one. At first I found Evelyn Baine to be a bit too abrasive, a bit too driven, a bit too distrustful, to be sympathetic, but when Heiter began filling in the character's backstory that all began to change. Although I did find certain scenes to be a bit predictable (such as a love interest drawn to unapproachable women as well as some of the plot twists), Evelyn's character did grab me and didn't want to let go. Her stubbornness, her resourcefulness, the way she pieces clues together, and the way she treats her grandmother won me over. Heiter also touches on how some men still view women agents in the FBI, which added depth to the story-- and she certainly has a sure hand with action sequences. Now that I've learned to like this prickly FBI profiler, I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the series. Heiter seems to have an instinctive knowledge of just the right mix of mystery, action, and characterization.
- Bewertung: 1 von 5 Sternen1/5Read for Fun (Physical Copy)Overall Rating: DNFWhy the DNF: I was really sad to put this one down because the Thriller part was super well done. I did flip to the back to see how it all turned out. The problem was, the angst was super high and it kind of ruined the characters for me. It was like a super melodramatic Criminal Minds episode and that just doesn't work for me. The writing was excellent and the story flow was good. So if you like drama in your thrillers then I really think this will work for you.How far I made it: 150 pages (yes I was trying really hard to push through)
- Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen4/5Haunted, hunted, completed.The Bakersville Burier definitely gave Evelyn Baine, an FBI profiler, a run for the money. The BAKBURY case as it was called and as he was called was a master at abducting his victims as well as avoiding the police. The Bakersville Burier had a grudge against women and a background that made him dangerous along with a background that fed his horrible desire to hurt.HUNTED will keep you turning the pages as the "hunted" and the "hunter" keep eluding each other. HUNTED is an excellent thriller and a great debut novel for Ms. Heiter.HUNTED kept me awake reading to find out what happened and also kept me awake with every light on because of the fright factor.You will love Evelyn but want to tell her to lighten up and take care of her personal life as well as her professional life. Evelyn had a piece of herself in every murderer she profiled because of something that happened in her own life when she was younger. I haven't read a thriller for a while and enjoyed the chase and the tension of HUNTED. You will be tempted to leave the lights on as you read and look behind you and around you when you are out. There is also a sweet romance hidden in all of this terror.HUNTED is a book you will want to read if you like to delve into a criminal's past and try to figure out what caused him to want to murder and harm others.Don't miss reading HUNTED. 4/5This book was given to me free of charge and without compensation by the publisher in return for an honest review.
- Bewertung: 4 von 5 Sternen4/5Elizabeth Heiter's debut novel Hunted is an intriguing and fast paced mystery. Lead protagonist's Evelyn Baine's job as an FBI profiler is unique which makes it stand out from the typical police procedural.
Evelyn Baine is on the career fast track when she is assigned to profile a killer who brutally murders his victims and displays them in a grotesque fashion. She is dedicated to her job (to the point of obsession) and she has a remarkable ability to get inside the minds of the criminals she profiles. When the search for the "Bakersville Burier" becomes personal, Evelyn is in danger losing her objectivity, her career and ultimately, her life.
Evelyn is a strong but deeply flawed heroine. She is closed off from just about everyone around her, defensive and reluctant to accept anyone's help. Socially awkward and unable to make small talk, Evelyn keeps to herself except for her monthly get-togethers with her two college friends. She is dedicated to the grandmother who essentially raised her and the vulnerability she hides from everyone becomes apparent during their visits. A traumatic incident from Evelyn's childhood haunts her, guides her career decisions and motivates her to sharpen her investigative skills.
Among the vast cast of secondary characters, there are a few worth noting. Her trainer and partner Greg Ibsen is the perfect sounding board for Evelyn and as a profiler, he can read some of the things she tries to keep hidden. Greg is genuinely concerned for her safety and her career when she makes some iffy decisions. Greg's cousin Gabe is not quite as serious as the other characters and he brings some levity to the story. Gabe's friend Kyle "Mac" McKenzie brings the possibility of a future romance between him and Evelyn in future works.
The mystery aspect of Hunted is quite riveting and the profiling process is fascinating. The resistance Evelyn encounters from fellow law enforcement officials adds realism to the storyline. The investigation is well-plotted and for the most part, believable. There were a few events that stretched the bounds of credibility but overall, were easy to overlook. Multiple points of view provide insight into the various characters and the shifts in perspective were easy to follow. All in all, it is an exciting introduction to Elizabeth Heiter's Profiler series and I am looking forward to the next installment.
