When a cold-case serial killer returns, FBI special agent Fiona Kelly has one last chance to stop him before he claims the prize he’s always wanted—her.
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 by Jessica R. Patch grabbed me in the first scene of this edge-of-your-seat suspense and didn’t let go until the end!”
—Patricia Bradley, author of the Memphis Cold Case novels

Summary
Her Darkest Secret by Jessica R Patch is a Christian mystery/thriller with a touch of romance. Well plotted novel that I enjoyed from start to finish. Fiona is obsessed with finding the Nursery Rhyme killer who abducted her and her sister. She was able to escape but her sister didn’t. She became an FBI agent. Her obsession resulted in losing her marriage to fellow FBI agent Asa Kodiak. I adored Asa and totally understood where he was coming from. There were so many great scenes between the two of them; funny and serious.
The serial killer is definitely creepy and following their chase of him was fascinating to watch. I was totally surprised by her secret. The story was also a great balance of hunting down the killer and learning more about Asa and Fiona. I enjoyed how the author wove the faith element into the story as to how Asa could handle his job. Hoping some of the other agents get their own stories next.
If you enjoy a thriller with faith elements you can’t get much better than this story.
