Expendable Mudge Muses Aloud

The Murderers' Club - P.D. Martin Rating: 2.5* of fiveSophie Anderson has a gift: She can "hear" what's going on in the minds of serial killers. It makes her very valuable at the FBI, as you can imagine, but it also keeps her on the fraying edge of total, irretrievable burnout. Shortly after a successfully solved case nearly costs her her life, Sophie takes an Arizona vacation to rest and recuperate.Ha.A rash of killings occur, clearly related but with key differences. It's the differences that alert Our Heroine to the fact that it's a plot...it's too coincidental that all these signature moves would show up in one place...but what kind of plot?!?She solves it, of course. SPOILER! Turns out La Sophie is the target of a serial killers' online newsgroup, and her near-fatal case is used as a chance to finish her off while she's vulnerable. END SPOILER!Pretty scary moments, very nicely plotted, decent writing...passed an afternoon, and that's not nothin' these days.
