FBI Special Agent Grace Billingsley tracks serial killers, using her skills as a psychiatrist and behavioral analyst to get dangerous people off the street and safely behind bars. But prison psychiatrist Sam Monroe knows that just because a killer is incarcerated doesn’t mean they’re not a threat. His own father, Peter, is a serial killer–in prison but certainly not out of Sam’s life, as much as he wishes he was.
When bodies start showing up with Peter’s MO, Sam and Grace are both called in to consult. They’ve met before–and though Grace thought they’d made a real connection, Sam ghosted her. They’ll have to get past the awkwardness and mistrust to solve this case–especially because it’s about to get personal.
USA Today bestselling author Lynette Eason doesn’t give you time to catch your breath in this breakneck race to stop a serial killer.

Summary
Critical Threat by Lynette Eason proves once again why Eason is in the top of her field. Personally, this book help get me out of a funk and it makes me want to ask the author how in the world did she come up with these crazy serial killers! Critical Threat is book three in the Extreme Measures series but reads as a stand alone. Even Grace’s friend’s from the other two books only made a minor appearance.
The book focused on FBI behavioral analyst (aka profiler), Grace and prison psychiatrist, Sam Monroe. Sam is the son of a serial killer that he helped put away so he comes with a little bit of baggage. He is working with Grace on her current case because it has a similar MO to his father.
Critical threat keeps the reader intrigued with complex characters and plenty of plot twists. I highly recommend. And don’t miss book two, Crossfire which is my top 5 best books of 2022.
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
