A known serial killer is once again taking lives in Chicago. Bodies drained of blood are being strewn across the city.

For former Tampa homicide sergeant, Hank Rawlings, tracking down the man responsible for the killings becomes his first assignment at his new position, agent in the FBI's homicide division of the serial crimes unit.

Almost before the ink dries on the new job's acceptance papers, Hank finds himself in Chicago, knee-deep in an investigation with a mounting body count.

While every lead brings him and his partner closer to the killer, the one that puts them directly in front of him threatens them most.

Good story, liked the partner relationship. The killer was creepy and realistic. It could have been longer or differently paced maybe? not sure, but something was missing.

CREEPY AND REALISTIC

I LOVED this book. The characters are very likeable. I had never read one of Reinhard books, I would recommend this one.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

Not too bad if you have time to kill and nothing better at hand. It’s the kind of mystery where you know who the bad guy is but not how he’s going to be caught. Not my favorite kind. And the characters were all flat—no character development. The FBI agents were all good at their jobs and the villain was heinous. On this plus side, there was no gore, no gratuitous f-bombing, and the end was exciting. Oh, and there was no sex—I’m not sure whether that’s a plus or a minus. In conclusion, this was passable as a freebie but I won’t be spending a credit for the next in the series.

Bland FBI procedural

The author told a gruesome tell without the gruesome details. Clean language was used.

Fast (read) listen

I enjoyed the story and it kept me going but I did get a little irritated with the unnecessary detail..."we walked to the car and unlocked the door with the fob and opened the door. Then we got in and put on our seatbelts and started the car and drove away". It's almost like the author was trying to add pages. It wasn't necessary for the story in any way and really didn't help the flow. I will read more for sure, however.

Enjoyable but the writing needs a little work

Really great story and very well narrated.
I usually listen to these books while driving long trips and it's surprising how quickly the journey goes by and how relaxed I am on arrival.

I really recommend this book! I will be buying more!!

Great Story

Drain Book 1 in the Agent Hank Rawlings, FBI Thriller Series, begins differently than most of the novels about serial killers that I’ve ever read. Different in that we know from the very beginning who the serial killer is. That unique approach taken by Reinhard is what hooked me on this story. What kept me reading was my need to see how newly minted Special Agent Hank Rawling and his partner, Beth Harper, would discover who the killer was. The way this story ends will leave you breathless. If you only read one thriller this year, it has to be Drained.

AWESOME FIRST BOOK IN A NEW SERIES
