Description

Paige King, 25, in her Ph.D. residency at a psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane, is summoned urgently by the FBI: her most notorious patient, a diabolical and elusive serial killer, has escaped. And they need her to help hunt him down.

“A masterpiece of thriller and mystery.”
—Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone)

THE GIRL HE PINED is the debut novel in a new series by #1 bestselling and critically acclaimed mystery and suspense author Blake Pierce.

Paige, as brilliant as she is, knows she is up against a mastermind with no equal. This killer will stop at nothing to outwit them all, and going too deep into his mind may be just the thing that undoes them all.

Paige’s skills are put to the ultimate test in this harrowing cat-and-mouse thriller, as new bodies pile up, and as Paige realizes that she, herself, may just be the target.

A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the PAIGE KING mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night.

    Vanessa’s pov: Vanessa turned on the air conditioning. Her ex-husband- Clyde- was blowing up her phone. ‘Clyde. No. I have a boyfriend now and I don’t need you anymore. Now stop texting me.’ She angrily texted him back. A white chat bubble with the those three little bubbles appeared. A video appeared. She clicked on it. A video appeared of a spinning circle with black and white. Five minutes later… a call came in. “I’m coming to get you. So we can get back to together.” Clyde said from the pons. Vanessa nodded. “Okay. Can’t wait to see you baby…” -Kyle

    I have never seen FBI portrayed so incompetently. The serial killer escapes and NO one even mentioned his last victim… the reason he was caught …until he kills her? She is psychologically deep diving into a serial killer yet has no followup or convos with the cooperating uncle ? Apparently “unlimited resources “ of FBI are only these two idiots in whichever person She confidently yet erroneously decides is his next ONE victim! They never contemplate more than 1 possible victim. Most characters are handholding the lead and telling her she is doing a great job when she obviously ends up being wrong. Also wierd perspective change from characters to character throws off the reader.

  • great read!

    I read this book in less than 4 days and I can say for a fact that I was hooked on page 1. Pierce did an amazing job of trapping readers into the story and setting while going back and forth between the characters’ thoughts. Definitely a good read!
