Review – Night Fall

July 2, 2021 By The Suspense Zone

From the back cover:

For any little boy or girl who hears the Train Man speak,
Who feels his rancid breath caress their pretty cheek,
Must close their eyes, pretend to sleep, and very softly pray,
Or else the evil Train Man may carry them away.

Finally free of her troubled upbringing, Alex Donovan is able to live out her childhood dream of working for the FBI. But soon after she becomes a member of the FBI’s elite Behavioral Analysis Unit, authorities in Missouri contact them about bodies found on freight trains–all killed in the same way.

Alex never expected to be forced to confront her past in this new job, but she immediately recognizes the graffiti messages the killer is leaving on the train cars. When the BAU sends her to gather information about the messages from her aunt in Wichita, Kansas, Alex is haunted by the struggles she thought she’d left behind forever.

In a race against time to solve the case and recover a deadly virus sample the killer intends to spread, Alex must face how far she’ll go–and what she’s willing to risk–to put a stop to the Train Man.

My thoughts:
This is book one in The Quantico Files series, so what a great place to start. This book is full of many twist and turns, mystery, suspense and much more.
Alex Donovan thought she left her dramatic childhood behind, however when her job as a BAU agent puts her right back into the middle of it, will she be able to find the answers before it is to late or will her past be more than she can handle?
We meet many interesting FBI agents and I look forward to reading more about them.
