mystery lover - By: pat book lover, 29 Feb 2008 
The 3rd & final of the series. I liked the storyline but once again i would have preferred more on the detection side & less on the romance.I like murder mysteries to be just that - murder & mystery.I find that more of these new authors are combining murder with romance which i don't like so much. I think Allison Brennan however is a good author & i like the way she writes as it keeps you interested & alll 3 story lines have been excellent.
Love, Sex, Murder and Mayhem ~ All in a days work for Olivia St. Martin - By: Sassy Brit, 24 May 2006 For over thirty-four years, scientist Olivia St. Martin an ex-FBI agent, has lived with the guilt of not being able to save her sister Missy from being abducted & killed. As she was a child at the time, there was reallly nothing she could have done. However, new DNA evidence has come to light which exonerates the man she testified against & put behind bars for the murder of her sister. Meanwhile, Detective Zack Travis, & his new partner, Nelson Boyd, discover another child's body dumped in an industrial estate. She too has some of her hair missing which indicates a possible collector, meaning that her murderer could in fact be a serial killer.
As the director of Trace Evidence & Materials Analysis, based at the FBI's Virginian laboratory, Olivia St. Martin goes on a vacation to Seattle, where she believes the killer will strike next. Determined to uncover the truth, Olivia sets out for justice, & works with Zack, posing as an FBI agent who will help him track down the killer. Of course, as she gets closer to revealing the truth, her involvement with Detective Travis blossoms to the point of total distraction...
The third & final part is The Kill, & I am pleased the author has sustained the quality, pace & taught suspense of the two previous books in this trilogy. I liked the way the characters Rowan, (The Prey), Miranda (The Hunt) & Olivia (The Kill) were alll connected, yet, each story can be read as a stand alone novel & make perfect, albeit chilling, sense!
I suspect a huge amount of research spanning the entire trilogy has been undertaken, from forensic science, to the American prison system, which shows in Allison Brennan's writing skill. She reallly appears to get inside the mind of a murderer like you would expect a professional to do!
Without doubt, the heat in this romance tops the rest. I genuinely felt that, despite alll they go through, the two characters, Olivia & Zack, just "clicked" & were meant to be together; but does it alll turn out right in the end? After alll, what makes Allison Brennan's work so exciting is the mixture of ecstasy & torment she puts her characters through!
