The Body Counter, shares a chilling murder-mystery with twists and turns to keep you guessing.  A serial killer (s) is escalating and the body count is increasing with each kill.  Detective Jude Fontaine along with her partner, Detective Uriah Ashby are investigating the case. There seem to be no connections between the victims and there are no witnesses. The killer or killers are also using random methods to kill the victims.

The case has the detectives stumped until a brilliant math professor shares his theory with them. He believes the killer (s) are following a math riddle.  The mystery was riveting with colorful suspects, charismatic players and plenty of twists to keep even a seasoned reader guessing.

We also spend time with Jude as she becomes re-acclimated to the world around her. Jude is a strong complex and clever character who is equally broken. She cannot shake the memories of her captivity and captor. She deals with it in a style that is completely Jude and I was both appalled and fascinated.

I was a tad worried switching from book format to audio. I create voices in my head when reading, however, Emily Smith-Sutton's narration captured Jude. The story itself works well on audio, adding to the suspense and connecting me to the characters. Emily did an impressive job with both male and female characters added dimension and emotions.
