Whisper of Evil by Kay Hooper

Whisper of Evil (Bishop/Special Crimes Unit, #5)

by Kay Hooper

Someone is stalking the little town of Silence. Three victims have fallen to a killer’s savage vengeance. Each of the dead men was a successful and respected member of the community—yet each also harbored a dark secret discovered only after his murder. Were their deaths the ultimate punishment for those secrets? Or something even more sinister? Nell Gallagher has come home to Silence more than a decade after leaving one dark night with her own painful secrets. Forced now by family duty to return, she has also come home to settle with the past. But past and present tangle in a murderer’s vicious attacks, and to find the answers she needs, Nell must call on the psychic skills that drove her away years before. She must risk her own life and sanity, and regain the trust of the man she left behind so long ago. For the killer she seeks is seeking her, watching her every move, preying upon her every vulnerability—and already so close she’ll never see death coming . . .

I love the Bishop / Special Crimes Unit books and this was the only format of this title I could find in the libraries. Interesting story of a girl who left a town to escape her family, becomes an FBI agent and has to return to deal with the aftermath. It's interesting and well done but there were times when I felt a bit lost in the mystery, the clues weren't there for me to see who did it.

Still more 3.5 than 3 but not quite a 4.
