This is the second book I have read in Cheryl Bradshaw's best-selling Sloane Monroe series. Sloane is a private investigator, working with the local police and FBI on a string of murders committed by Sinnerman, the same killer who took the life of Sloane's sister years earlier. When Monroe challenges Sinnerman in a newspaper interview, she puts herself directly in the path of a serial killer the police seem unable to catch.
.
Bradshaw shows quite a talent for creating a bas-ass, strong-willed female PI, whose only flaw seems to be her choice of relationships. The storyline is nicely crafted, and the action is riveting. The reader is told early on who the Sinnerman really is, but his craftiness makes you wonder if he will make a mistake before Monroe's time runs out. This is a great series for fans of the thriller genre who like strong female characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars nice thriller

Sinnerman was my first introduction to both the author, Cheryl Bradshaw, and her wonderful character, Sloane Monroe. The similarities to the Stephanie Plum series make it a fun read, though the character of P.I. Sloane Monroe is a little more pulled together than Ms. Plum.

Three years ago, Monroe's twin sister was brutally murdered by a serial killer who calls himself Sinnerman. He's wickedly evil, preying on attractive brunettes, which Monroe is, and suddenly he's surfaced again, grabbing a young mother at a supermarket, and dumping her body 24 hours later nearby. Monroe had no intentions of letting the man who killed her sister get a way this time as she sets out after him.

Complicating her life is her relationship with a macho detective who wants to keep Monroe 'safe' by controlling her life. Entering her life again after 2 years, is a handsome Giovanni, who may or may not have mob ties, but he does seem to intimidate even the police chief when Monroe uses Giovanni to get her way.

Monroe's best friend Maddie, a medical examiner who dresses like an exotic dancer, gives the reader good insight into how a crime scene is handled. But what I liked best about Sinnerman, was delving into the mind of a serial killer, into why he kills and the figures in his life who helped shape him.

Bradshaw writes a great thriller, with likeable characters, and a taunt timeline that keeps you reading way past lights-out.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rather typical but interestingly suspenseful serial killer tale solved by persistent PI
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2021

“Murder in Mind” is just our second reading of Bradshaw’s PI (Ms.) Sloane Monroe series. As before, we like the author’s writing style and ability to create a suspenseful tale well enough to at least continue to sample additional stories in what is currently an eight-book set..

In both novels, aside from some secretive help from Sloane’s best friend ME Maddie, our protagonist works with the police (frequently to their chagrin and irritation) to track down the villain. In this particular tale, Sloane is hunting the probable killer of her sister, now a cold case, when some new murders echo the MO of that earlier killing and a few others. While we did not find the plot overly original, it was suspenseful and held our interest even when the villain is identified to us readers late in the game.

Speaking of Bradshaw’s word-craft, we had to admire this description, as often a character’s hair color and appearance are typically part of the narrative – how’s this for one’s mind’s eye (!): “Her long hair was the color of the inside of a banana and was loosely tied with a rubber band, the kind you get from a newspaper.”

Wonder what else is Sloane is up to? {3.5}

So Sloane is that type of 3am cool girl? You know the type... the ones that have the perfect response to everything instantly. The kind of response you only think of at 3am days passed when it would have been useful.

That said, there were times her coolness broke the suspension of disbelief. Maybe she was just too cool sometimes. And the big guy who shows up as her savior and bodyguard. That's a little too conveniently easy. A little more back story would have given the story and characters more dimension.

All in all though, I recommend it. It's fast paced and well written. Dialogue was believable and the story moved along nicely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the right amount of suspense
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2012

A very well written suspense story that holds your interest from beginning to end. Even though we learn the name of Sinnerman about halfway through, that does not answer all the questions about how and why he became an obsessed serial killer. And the suspense level remains high - will he kill again? Can he be stopped? I don't do spoilers, so you will be able to enjoy this book with the same enthusiasm I enjoyed.

I have not read any other books from this author, and I appreciate that even though other story lines were mentioned, this book was stand-alone, and did not require reading other books to feel caught up in the story. The exception to this was the character of Giovanni and his family. Maybe it was intentional, but even by the end of the book, this character still hadn't come completely together for me. I had trouble getting an image of him in my mind, and the book ends with him still a mystery.

But I did feel I had a connection with Sloane and her BFF Maggie. It would be fun to hang out with them (as long as Sinnerman isn't around!). I'll be looking forward to more books from Cheryl Bradshaw. If they are as well put together as this one, I know I will enjoy them.

Fast moving dangerous even when Maddie felt safe he was watching her all the time. A mad murderer killing women and his trophies where gruesome. Maddie needed to find him he has to pay one of his victims was her sister. Then there was Giovanni who seems to make things happen. A great thriller a PI v the cops the race is on Maddie looks for clues in a different way and comes up with answers the cops haven't figured out. This thriller is go from page one hard to put down follow the clues but keep an eye on your back. Great story a must for the thrill seekers I can recommend this book

While there may be imperfections, like the realistic impossibility that someone like the central character could actually exist, the flow of the story, the quality of the writing and the desire to keep turning the pages, override any hesitations I might have in highly recommending this book.
