Story
Her body floats. A bloated thing half atop the river. Naked. Pale. Mouth and eyes open wide. When two fishermen discover a corpse floating in the Clackamas river, profiler Violet Darger heads to rural Oregon to hunt another serial killer. What she discovers in the woods might change the course of her life. What secrets does the water conceal? The girl in the water marks the third such case in the area - all drowned with superficial stab wounds and discovered in a body of water - and Darger feels certain she won't be the last. The corpses are badly decomposed.

They are the most violent, blood-thirsty, and vicious of criminals. While hunting for them, FBI profilers call these monsters UNSUBS, short for "unknown subjects of ongoing investigations".

Until yesterday, no one knew Florida had another serial killer on the loose. Special Agent Tess Winnett calls this particularly elusive one the "Taker of Lives".

Publisher's Summary
The body slumps over the steering wheel. Pools of blood going tacky on the dash. Two shots to the back of the head. A mafia-style hit in a small town.
Special Agent Violet Darger must make sense of this savagery - figure out how brutality like this could happen in rural Michigan.
The victim had been living the American dream. A small-business owner who built a construction empire. Started a family. Coached youth hockey. He seemed to have it all.
But his surface life didn’t tell the full story. He carried dark secrets to the grave. Left clues which offer more questions than answers, clues that seem to lead Darger to Detroit.
In the city, she finds despair. Corruption. Decay. Blocks of vacant buildings line the streets. Crumbling. Caving in. It resembles ancient ruins more than a modern American city. Concrete caverns waiting to be explored. And there, among the rubble, she gets swept up in the hunt for a notorious hit man.
He kills for profit. Navigates the brutal world of organized crime. Harbors secrets of his own, albeit domestic ones. He holds the answers to all of Darger’s questions, but only if she can catch him.
This pulse-pounding thriller will have you on the edge of your seat until the final page. Fans of John Sandford, Karin Slaughter, Harlan Coben, and Lisa Jackson should check out the Violet Darger series.
The books in the series can be listened to in any order, so grab Bad Blood and get started today.

good but...
the story is engaging, the characters likeable, but it is irritating how much the main character is constantly such a lone wolf, breaking protocol when it isn't necessary for the story, and ends up causing the death of a coworker and usually injury to herself. it isn't necessary and with a few small changes the stories would be just as good and far less irritating. a strong female character can be just as strong when playing by the rules.

Very disappointing!
I have read the previous books and was totally disappointed by this one. Agent Darger has been an annoying character who draws no sympathy from the reader, rather just a disinterest. This ended the Agent VD saga for me.

Mixed feelings
I am not sure how I feel about this one. This is the first book in the series that has me questioning if Violet is going to grow as an FBI agent or a person for that matter. The story has enough intrigue but I had a hard time with the line wolf attitude that has been a continuing habit of one Special Agent Darger. However, that being said I do like the fact that Violet follows her gut. That is why I don’t know how I feel about one. The narrator has done an outstanding job in all of theses books.

There is no "I" in team
This character is sorely lacking in so many skills. That she's an FBI agent is scary on its own let alone this is fiction. I enjoy books with strong, smart female leads - Violet is sorely lacking in the smarts department. I'm done with this series and maybe the best thing is for Violet to find a new job. While she was gathering information she was not able to trust anyone more than herself and unfortunately an innocent was killed and the outcome could have been much better if she'd communicated with people she trusted. Oh well - no more Darger for me.

Love me some Darger!
The narrator is fabulous and really makes the characters come alive. Although the basic premise of the book is nearly identical to the previous installments, the actual storyline along with the character development and the mix of colorful language, romance, violence, and humor that I suppose only a partnership like that of Vargus and McBain could concoct more than makes up for it.
I think I'm downright addicted to this series at this point and I'm looking forward to the first of the books focusing on Loshak. In fact, I downloaded it before I started listening to "Bad Blood," so I'm going to start listening right now!
