About this listen

A grisly murder. A six-year-old eyewitness. A gun from the grave.

The Profiler's Daughter is a psychologically haunting thriller that combines murder mystery, love triangle, and family intrigue in one satisfying page burner.

Sky Stone was born into the wealth and privilege of Boston's oldest Brahmin family but chooses instead to follow in the footsteps of her deceased father, legendary FBI profiler Monk Stone. In the chilly morning hours before the Boston Marathon, when a beautiful university student is found strangled and mutilated, her body left at the base of Heartbreak Hill, Sky returns from self-imposed exile to investigate. Thirty-six hours into the investigation, Sky's world turns upside down when she is fired from the Homicide team. They pin the murder on an innocent man, forcing Sky into a life-threatening game of cat and mouse with the real killer. From the stately mansions of Beacon Hill to the flat scrubland of central Texas, Sky keeps the reader on a razor's edge, culminating in a no-holds-barred shoot-out.

The Profiler's Daughter, the first in the Sky Stone Thriller series, introduces a moody, enigmatic, and brilliant female sleuth with the fierce bite of Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander. As adeptly written as Martin Cruz Smith's complex Arkady Renko novels, this thriller offers an intriguing plot, richly detailed characters, and an astonishing conclusion guaranteed to leave the listener begging for more.

I have listened to it more than once.

Yes!

Who is the father of Sky's baby? How could you leave us hanging like that:-)) I'm kind of rooting for Butch.

It was just ok!

When I began the book, I truly did not like the narrator...for some reason she spoke so slowly and raspy… I truly believe it was her voice choice for this character that made her sound dumb ditzy and lame!! The more I got used to the narrator, the more I realized that the book just did not develop the character good enough. it was hard to tell whether she was a dumb idiot or a smart profiler but I never truly accepted that she was smart enough to be a profiler!! If I had a return left I would have returned this one!!

The Profiler's Daughter

The book was very riveting... I was disappointed in the end because you didn't tell us what the baby's gender was. Or who the father was. I really enjoyed listening to the book.

Really good "who done it" BY a GREAT NEW AUTHOR!!!

Would you listen to The Profiler's Daughter again? Why?

Yes! It hooked me from the start!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Profiler's Daughter?

Sky's time in Texas finding clues to Porter's past.

Have you listened to any of Gabrielle de Cuir’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I haven't. She's very good, although I didn't think she did the Boston accents well.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but a book like this that is 19 hours long, well it would be hard to do.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait until Ms. Steffen's next book comes out. I'll be 1st in line to read it. I highly recommend The Profiler's Daughter. AAAAA+

A terrific listen!

Would you listen to The Profiler's Daughter again? Why?

I have listened twice. Many fascinating nuances that one needs to go back to pick up the various threads of the story. A great read or listen with many interesting characters. Very hard to get stop listening and then to get the characters out of your head.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

After the first few chapters, it was a spell binder; always an unexpected twist to the story that kept me on the edge.

Which character – as performed by Gabrielle de Cuir – was your favorite?

Hard to tell--probably Sky, but Butch, Jake, Candace and the Butler are serious contenders.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

A number of them; with Butch in Texas after the assault; when Sky was on the gurney after the assault at Porter's and Jake asked if she still hated him--she said yes! The final scene when Sky is with Molly describing the baby and Sky calls 911.

Any additional comments?

Need the next chapter; want desperately to know what will happen to Sky, Jake, Butch and the baby. Please hurry with the next book.
