I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

In One More Kill, book 9 of the Brandon Fisher FBI series, Arnold delivered a gritty police procedural designed to keep you on the edge of your seat..

The start of One More Kill gave me chills. Despite the grisly nature of the scene, I quickly slipped into the story. On arriving at the scene, Jack, the leader of Brandon’s team, discovered that this was the work of the Leopard. The Leopard is the serial killer he had been hunting for the past twenty-five years. Known as the leopard for the manner in which he hunts his victims, he plans to continue his killing spree. This is Jack’s last chance to capture the killer who eluded him for so long.

What made this case so unique was the Leopard’s uncanny ability to charm his victims and winning their trust before striking. Also, the constant changing of his appearance made it easy for him to be always one step ahead of law enforcement. The scary thing about this killer is the fact he hunts and kills for the pleasure it brings him.

Although this is the Brandon Fisher series, the story focused on Jack. We see how he struggled with his failure to capture the Leopard. He faces his biggest challenge when he found himself in the Leopard’s crosshairs. Added to this, he faced the prospect of his career ending if he failed to put an end to the reign of terror. Failure was definitely not an option.

One More Kill took me on a suspenseful cat-and-mouse chase. The story moved quickly. However, there were moments when the pace slowed, to accommodate the research needed to dig into the Leopard’s past and determine his next move.

Overall, One More Kill proved to be a gripping, nail biting and gritty read. Definitely not for the faint of heart. I had a good time reconnecting with the characters and look forward to their next chilling investigation. A must read for fans of gritty police procedurals.
