Summary of Consumed, by E.H. Reinhard

Welcome to the thrilling, crime-riddled world of Consumed, where every page flips faster than a bad guy trying to escape the FBI's wrath. This is the second installment in the Agent Hank Rawlings series-because one book just wasn't enough to showcase Hank's talent for getting into ridiculously dangerous situations.

Our hero, Hank Rawlings, is back on the case, and you guessed it: it's a doozy. This time, he's tackling the dark, gritty underbelly of crime (because apparently, solving cozy mysteries just doesn't cut it anymore). A series of murders that could make a horror film look like a walk in the park has our favorite FBI agent neck-deep in chaos. Did I mention there are bodies? Quite a few of them, actually-this is not a children's book!

Hank is hot on the trail of a ruthless killer who appears to be playing a macabre version of hide-and-seek, and we're right there with him, biting our nails (or popcorn) as he navigates through a sea of suspects who'd rather be anywhere else. Between the endless red herrings and dodgy characters lurking in dark alleys, it's a game of who-done-it that keeps you guessing.

But wait! Spoilers ahead: Just when you think you've got the killer figured out, Reinhard throws you a curveball from left field. I mean, come on! This guy has more twists than a pretzel factory. Just when Hank thinks he's cracked the case, things go south-quickly-and the tension ramps up like it's auditioning for a roller coaster.

As Hank dives deeper into the grisly web of deceit, we see not just the physical danger but the psychological toll it takes on him. You might even find yourself questioning if he should have chosen a desk job instead. The balance of suspense and character development makes it a wild ride. Who knew watching someone unravel could be so entertaining?

With a plethora of plotlines to race through, Consumed takes you on a relentless journey filled with suspense, dark humor, and the bitter reality of crime. So grab your detective hat (and maybe a stress ball) and follow Hank as he attempts to unmask a killer before he becomes the next victim. And remember, folks: if you ever find yourself next to Hank in a dark alley, just run in the opposite direction-it's safer that way.

In summary, if you're in the mood for a thriller that 'consumes' you whole (see what I did there?), look no further than Consumed. Just remember: it's not just a book; it's an experience that will leave you shaken, possibly a bit disturbed, but definitely entertained. Happy reading!
