A Thousand Vermilion Stars (FBI Files Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 318 ratings

A copycat serial killer is driving their whole team crazy.

Dr. Leo Reeves has always considered himself a halfway decent criminal profiler. Some of his colleagues even call him brilliant. With this assignment, he sure as hell doesn’t feel that way. He’s been missing something at every turn. The case is dragging into its seventh month and every lead he and his team follow, takes them to a dead end…literally. Leo sure hasn’t come up with anything to move things along, as hard as he’s tried. They’re no closer to capturing their killer…even after following him all the way to Miami.

Special Agent Max Prince is worried.

The longer this case goes on, the farther down the rabbit hole, his partner and lover, Leo, seems to fall. To make matters worse, back home in Los Angeles, detectives Cassidy Ryan and Mike Williams have turned up a second graveyard filled with some surprising victims…victims the team know well. Worse yet, Miami has left them with even more questions. When a good cop is murdered, the whole case turns on its head. Everyone wants answers and their team doesn’t have any.

Something has to change.

Worst of all, the copycat hasn’t stopped killing, leaving strange clues behind, even inserting himself into the case. When one of their own is put in horrible danger, and DNA results reveal a shocking truth, things get even more complicated. No one likes taking risks, especially when they involve meeting the killer on his terms. But taking that risk, might be the only way to resolve this case. Whether it’s the desert graveyards of SoCal, the sexy hot nights of South Beach’s gay scene, or the sticky bayous of New Orleans, Max and Leo have vowed to end this monster once and for all…if he doesn’t end them first.

    This story redefines the meaning of intense. With surprising twists and turns, we are taken deep into the mind of a serial killer and what makes him tick. Max, Leo and their team have been taken places they never dreamed. It would be hard to read in places in you have a trigger. I found it to be compelling and intriguing. I look forward tot he next one in this series.

    Max & Leo are back again trying to solve their ongoing case in another intense story. I was hooked on this from the start and was on the edge of my seat by the end of it all. It was worth the read though.

    I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

    This was not an easy book for me probably because of the the story was too close to what is happening in our real world today. Geez with that being said it was a fantastic story and tied up a load of lose ends from the previous two books in this beautiful FBI Files! Patricia you can hit me with the next book in this fantastic series any day please!!!!

    😀 A new release from Patricia Logan? YES, PLEASE! I was so excited when I discovered this book had been released. I downloaded it and began reading it as soon as I could. I was not disappointed. I love this “universe” Ms Logan has created with the wonderful characters from the ATF, FBI & LA POLICE DEPARTMENT.
    📚 And the “teaser” from FBI FILES Book 4 that was included at the end of this story? — YEP, I’m hooked. Can’t wait to see what that story contains…. 😀

    If you like mystery and true crime, then this series is for you! Throw some hot MM action in there and we’ll….then this is doubly the series for you. I would recommend starting with book one so you understand what’s going on. Leo and Max and the rest of the team are on their way to Miami to catch the copycat but don’t think they won’t have a little fun too!

    The plot twists just keep on hitting. This series is not for those that cannot handle blood and gore, that is for sure. It is not the majority, but it is there

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Nail biting finish to a good story
    Reviewed in India on June 29, 2023
    A Thousand Vermillion Stars is the third book in the series FBI Files by Patricia Logan. The story is strong and powerful. An excellent continuation of book two.

    Max and Leo are still chasing leads on the copycat killer, killing women just like the serial killer did long put to death, known as the deadly skinner, who also happened to be Leo’s father. It is because of his father's crimes that Leo joined the FBI and became a profiler to stop and apprehend serial killers and put a stop to such ghastly acts by unhinged humans.

    The story hooks you right from the beginning as Leo and Max along with their team led by Snow are on the trail of the copycat serial killer. As each murder comes to light Leo is having a hard time keeping his cool and is mentally and physically affected by it, but Max stands by him like a rock, loving him and supporting him as he breaks down. Their love is stronger and their relationship is growing to be something more.

    The number of twists and turns the story takes keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat. And when one of their own is kidnapped by the copycat killer all goes to hell and all bets are off. The team works as one unit and is hell-bent on getting their team member back alive.

    The nail-biting finish took me by surprise. A great finish to the story with both a happy and a sad ending. This series turned out to be a great MM gay romance and suspense murder mystery all wrapped into one. Time worth spent, in reading this series.

    I felt very sad when revealed at the end who turned out to be the copycat skinner, I didn’t expect that at all. A very well-written FBI suspense mystery by Patricia Logan. Looking forward to reading book 4 and more by this author.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great - as expected
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 26, 2023
    An exciting episode in the search for the copycat skinner brings an unexpected event. This was a real twist and I loved it. Jarret and Thayne are still 100% my heroes but Max and Leo are at 99%. I will say that if anyone else took Leo by the bicep I would have punched them. The man must have bruises. Looking forward to the next book. Read them in order.
