Review: Her Darkest Secret by Jessica R. Patch

Author: Jessica R. Patch
Publisher: Love Inspired Trade
Publication Date: June 2022

The sight of a goose feather at a murder scene modeled after a children’s poem is enough to make FBI special agent Fiona Kelly's blood turn to ice. Almost two decades ago, a feather was left with her sister's body—and with every subsequent victim of the Nursery Rhyme Killer. Now he's back. Only this time, his latest gruesome murder is a message to the only one who ever got away: Fiona.

Finding “Rhyme” is an obsession that's fueled Fiona's career—and destroyed her marriage to fellow FBI agent Asa Kodiak. Now Fiona and Asa have to put their past tensions aside and work together one last time. But Rhyme is watching, and catching this killer may force Fiona to reveal her biggest, darkest secret…the one only he knows.

Her Darkest Secret is a Christian psychological thriller. FBI agent Fiona Kelly was once abducted by a serial killer that has not been caught yet.  It appears he is active again and Fiona has made it her mission to catch him.  She will have to work wit her ex-husband to make that happen.

 For the most part, I did enjoy this one.  I liked the characters and the mystery.  There were a couple of twists in the end. It is a Christian book, but was not very heavy on the faith part.  I thought there was a nice balance.  However,  did think it was a bit too long and convoluted.  There were also way too many characters to keep straight.  I'm not sure if this one was a part of a series.   I felt like I walked into middle of a movie and tried to play catch up with the characters and their previous cases.  I do recommend trying this one.  I ended up listening to the audiobook and enjoyed it in that format.
