________

He’s going to kill you. He just doesn’t know it yet.

Midnight Jones is an analyst trained to understand the human mind. But everything changes when, in the course of her work, she discovers Profile K’s file – because K stands for killer, and she knows that someone more dangerous than she could have ever imagined walks among them.

Midnight knows what Profile K is capable of before he even commits his first crime. But as the news rolls with the brutal murder of a local woman, no one believes what she tells them: that he is capable of so much worse.

Profile K will kill again – and, terrifyingly, Midnight realises that the moment she found his file was the moment she became his next target. Because Profile K is coming for Midnight – and the only way to escape with her life is to find him before he finds her…

The million-copy bestseller is back with a dark, terrifying journey into the mind of a psychopath that will keep you riveted until the very last page.

Title: Unputdownable psychological thriller!
Review: Quite easily one of the most intriguing psychological crime thrillers that I have read in recent times. I had begun reading with the generic prospect of an engaging thriller, perhaps about a serial killer, but this turned out to be much more complex.Medical profiling these days has attained the level of being scary for people. The fiendish idea that it can be used to manipulate and resurrect a Frankenstein is portrayed in a creepily immaculate way in this book. At the centre of the vortex are two (and more) women who strive to even realise who is after them and why. Midnight Jones is not a detective here but her ability to analyse and reach at the ultimate source of the problem is wonderful to read. I have turned into a fan of Midnight and just hope the author would continue writing more books around her life.’Gripping thriller’ has turned into such a cliché that I would rather say this was an ‘unputdownable’ read. Even gave me a nightmare after reading!*received an ARC from Netgalley

Review: I’ve become a devoted fan of Helen Fields’ work since I discovered and devoured the DI Callanach series and her stand-alone books. I eagerly anticipated reading Profile K, which did not disappoint! It is a Masterpiece.!!! This compulsively dark and taut novel delivers with its horrificly violent and disturbing murders, presenting a gripping and dark narrative. The Killer is depicted as genuinely depraved and unsettling, making this book a spine-chilling read – unsuitable for the faint-hearted. From the opening chapter to the final page, it’s a fast-paced and intense novel that kept me immersed from the beginning until the end, and It had me squirming on the edge of my seat and my heart racing.Helen Fields shines through in her character development, which is a hallmark of her writing. The characters are fully developed, flawed, likeable and distinct, quickly drawing me into their lives. Fields has a talent for creating realistic and compelling characters, making them relatable and with whom readers can empathize.In addition to the riveting corporate corruption and murder scenes, the narrative delves into Midnight Jones’ relationship with her twin sister, Dawn, their absentee parents, and her unconditional love for her sister, regardless of the demandingresponsibility she has had for most of her life. The emotional depth adds a poignant layer to the narrative, making it difficult not to be affected by their difficult circumstances. Doris, who brings much-needed light relief, becomes a beacon of hope when she befriends Jones and Dawn. Her presence adds a touch of warmth to the story, balancing the darker elements.One of the strengths of Fields’ character development is evident in Jones, the heroine. While some heroines’ decisions may seem impractical and questionable in some thrillers, Jones’ motivations are clear and validated. Fields’ detailed character development allowed me to empathize with Jones and understand her deep concern and decision to become deeply involved in solving the serial killings in her community, even at the risk of her safety and others.The portrayal of the technology company Necto is so vivid it almost feels like a character in itself. This depiction adds a layer of complexity to the story, highlighting corporate entities’ impact on individuals and society. This aspect of the novel serves as a thought-provoking exploration of the implications of our increasingly tech-driven world. It reminds me of the consequences that powerful technological corporations can cause worldwide if they go unchecked. It is genuinely terrifying.Overall, Profile K stands out as a brilliant thriller that offers a unique and gripping concept that sets it apart from other novels in the genre. Fields’ skillful storytelling, compelling characters, and intricate plot development kept me fully invested and flipping the pages until 5:00 a.m. I highly recommend you read this book. Be forewarned you may wake up with a book hangover, which isn’t a bad thing.Please check the author’s website for some themes that may be triggering for readers.

Review: I absolutely love Helen Fields. Her books are dark, fast paced and full of gore. I could not put this book down and absolutely loved it. The Profiler is Hannibal Lector in the future. A brilliant read, definitely worth 5⭐

Title:
Review: Midnights Zwillingsschwester Dawn hat körperliche und geistige Einschränkungen. Die Eltern der Beiden waren irgendwann mit der Pflege von Dawn überfordert und sind auf eine Weltreise – man kann es nicht anders ausdrücken – abgehauen. Nun fällt Midnight die Aufgabe zu, sich um ihre Schwester zu kümmern. Und sie liebt Dawn über alles. Um gut für Dawn sorgen zu können, braucht Midnight einen lukrativen Job. Den glaubt sie bei Necto, einer Biotechfirma in London, gefunden zu haben. Bis sie befürchten muss, im Rahmen eines psychologischen Test, den sie überwachen sollte, ein Mörderprofil entdeckt zu haben.Wie geht Midnight mit ihrer Entdeckung um? Sie merkt schnell, dass ihre Vorgesetzten nicht so sehr an möglichen Mördern interessiert sind. Da scheint es mehr darum zu gehen, inwieweit Midnight ihre Kompetenzen überschritten hat. Diese Reaktion überrascht Michight dann doch und sie ist hin und her gerissen zwischen ihrer Verantwortung ihrer Schwester gegenüber und der gegenüber allen Menschen, die vor einem möglichen Killer geschützt werden sollten. Da wird eine junge Frau aus der näheren Umgebung brutal zu Tode gebracht und Midnight befürchtet, es könnte der mögliche Killer sein, dessen Profil sie gesehen hat. Und er kennt Midnights Vornamen. Wird er weiter töten?In diesem spannenden Thriller steckt Midnight Jones in einer Zwickmühle. Welche Verantwortung wiegt schwerer, die für ihre Schwester, welche nicht selbst für sich sorgen kann, oder die für die unbekannten Dritten, die in Gefahr geraten, wenn der mögliche Killer nicht dingfest gemacht wird. Allerdings geht es auch darum, wieso Midnights Arbeitgeber so beinahe abweisend reagiert als Midnight gleich zu Beginn von ihrer Entdeckung berichtet. Um die Spannung noch zu erhöhen, muss sich Midnight auch der Sorge stellen, die es auslöst, dass der mögliche Killer zumindest ihren Vornamen kennt. Einige Schilderungen in diesem Buch sind möglicherweise etwas schwer zu ertragen. Auch fragt man sich manchmal, ob man mit gewissen Kenntnissen über die Moral, die man vielleicht auch im wirklichen Leben hat, in der Fiktion auch noch konfrontiert werden möchte. Doch insgesamt ist man während der Lektüre bis zum fulminanten Finale sehr gefesselt.Der Roman ist nicht als Reihenstart gekennzeichnet. Es wurde allerdings nicht verwunderlich, wenn Midnights integerer Charakter doch wieder in Erscheinung treten würde.Es wurde die englischsprachige Ausgabe gelesen.3,5 Sterne
