Dead End by Nancy Mehl

When a body is discovered in a field in Iowa, the police uncover fourteen additional corpses ranging from 20 years old to recent. The remains point to a serial killer with an MO the authorities have seen before--Ed Oliphant, a man who has been in prison for over 20 years . . . and is Special Agent Kaely Quinn's father. After several failed interview attempts to discover if Ed has been training someone to be a copycat killer, the police turn to Kaely in St. Louis.

Kaely promised herself she would never step foot in her hometown or set eyes on her father again. She's always refused to confront her past, but if she wants to prevent any more deaths, she must come face-to-face with the man she's hated for years.
As more bodies are discovered, Kaely races against time and her own personal turmoil to uncover the killer. Will this most personal case yet cost Kaely her identity and perhaps even her life?

A great conclusion to this series.  Kaley is still fighting her demons.  And yes the author does show us that they are demons she is fighting.  In this book Kaley has to face her father.  The serial killer who killed over 20 women.  Can she do it and retain her sanity.  She still carries hate for her father for what he did to her and her family.  Noah is Kaely's partner in the FBI.  Against his better judgement, he has fallen in love her.  Noah is mad at God for allowing his wife to die.  There are twists and turns that made me keep reading.

This is the third book in the Kaely Quinn Profiler Series.  I recommend that you read the first two books in the series before reading this one.

I was given this book by Bethany House Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
