    About this audiobook

    In this thrilling entry in #1 New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter’s FBI series, FBI agents Savich and Sherlock must discover who is trying to murder Venus Rasmussen, a powerful, wealthy society icon. They soon discover that the danger may be closer than expected.

    Venus Rasmussen, a powerful woman who runs the international conglomerate Rasmussen Industries, believes someone is poisoning her. After Savich and Sherlock visit with her, someone attempts to shoot her in broad daylight. Who’s trying to kill her and why? A member of her rapacious family, or her grandson who’s been missing for ten years but suddenly reappears? Savich and Sherlock must peel away the layers and sift through unforeseen lies to uncover the incredible truth about who would target Venus.

    Meanwhile, Special Agent Cam Wittier leaves Washington for Los Angeles to work with local Detective Daniel Montoya to lead the hunt for the Starlet Slasher, a serial killer who has cut the throats of five young actresses. When a sixth young actress is murdered, Cam comes to realize the truth might be closer than she’d ever want to believe.

    With breakneck speed and unexpected twists and turns, Coulter’s Insidious will leave you breathless until the shocking conclusion.

      AUG 09 - I knew this book was part of a series when I chose it but I didn't realize it was book 20! That had me a little worried as I hadn't read the author before and starting a series at the end hardly ever works out. However, I was wrong to worry. For a mystery/thriller this has a very unique set, something more common to TV shows than books. The book contains two distinct and separate cases involving different Agents with only very minimal contact as the lower-ranked Agent ocassionally checks in with her boss (who is working the other case). One of the cases is a serial killer thriller and the other is a cosy; someon'estrying to poison the matriarch of a rich corporate family. The cosy mystery takes place in Washington and was decent and moved along at a slow pace, but had plenty of action and an ending that kept you guessing who the culprit was. But I really did hate it interrupting the serialkiller case as that was uch more my style and very fast-paced reading. Taking place in Los Angeles, this was about a killer who went after rising young starlets by quickly slitting their throats then stealing their cell phones and laptops. The solutions of both were a little over-the-top from reality but honestly,that made them fun, though there did seem to be some floating threads missing from the conclusions. Overall, I'd like to visit this series again, only starting from the beginning!

      Catherine Coulter has written yet another well-paced, interesting thriller, this time where FBI agents Shepard and Savich are trying to figure out which family member of an elderly businesswoman is trying to poison her and steal her money and corporate fortunes, while Cam is off in LA tracking a serial killer. I like her writing because it's detailed enough without ever getting super gory. We've parceled out information at a steady rate as the detectives work to solve the case and the twists just keep coming. A great read.
      I love this series and will be moving on to the next book.

      Always fun to read another book with Savich and Sherlock. Coulter is always so clever with providing two story lines that may not be related except that Savich is overseeing the second mystery.

    • 2/5
      Along with other things, James Comey has ruined the FBI thriller. I never thought Coulter's long running series about Savich and Sherlock was realistic but it was a good enough read. Now it's like a mystery with a Gestapo detective that never mentions Hitler or any of his actions.
    • 5/5
      This is the 20th book in the FBI series and I really enjoyed this one. As in the last book, there are two simultaneous stories going on that keep you wondering. They fit together very well so there is no issue keeping up and keeping them separate.On the east coast in Washington DC, husband and wife team, Savich and Sherlock, are trying to figure out who is trying to kill an elderly socialite who also happens to be a personal friend as well as an industrialist. Is it a family member? Is it an employee? Savich and Sherlock will have to investigate everyone whether they like it or not. On the west coast in Los Angeles, up and coming FBI superstar, Cam (Cammie, Camille) Wittier, is trying to find out who is killing young, beautiful starlets in California and Las Vegas. It has been determined it is a serial killer, but do the local police want to work with the FBI who will be taking over their cases? Is one of the murders a copycat?These books have been recognized as Romantic Thrillers but the romance has been toned down in this book. There is still some romance and relationships developing and they still happen rather quickly, but they were integral to the plot and were not as much a part of the story as in the past. I liked that. The plotlines tend to be stronger this way and the characters do as well. Cam Wittier is a smart, classy agent. She used her great people skills to get the local police on her side in order to be able to utilize their expertise on the case. The two main local police were also smart and even though there was some animosity at the beginning, they worked well with Cam. The young actresses that survived and helped somewhat to solve the case were also portrayed well. They were not "bubble headed bleach blondes" but smart, serious women who just happened to want to be actresses.One of the other things I love about this series is that even though there are major characters in every story, there are always new characters being introduced. I am pretty sure we will see more of Cam Wittier as she is still single, so there is a chance she will show up in another book in order to find her match. I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

      Insidious by Catherine Coulter is a 2016 Gallery Books publication. I was provided a copy of this book as an XOXpert the official street team of XOXO After Dark, and Edelweiss. This twentieth installment in Catherine Coulter’s FBI series takes on two separate cases, one featuring the popular husband and wife team, Savich and Sherlock, who must determine who is trying to kill an elderly socialite and an up and coming FBI superstar, Cam Whittier, takes on a serial killer in Los Angles who is targeting beautiful actresses. With this book, the reader gets two full stories in one book, both of which are compelling with surprising twists and turns. Savich and Sherlock have a puzzling case in which it seems a family member is responsible for trying to kill their own grandmother. The suspects range from the heir apparent to the black sheep of the family who has recently become a prodigal son, returning to the nest after pulling his life back together. Cam comes up against opposition in L.A. due to the FBI’s involvement, which has put some members of the LAPD on the defensive, but she handles herself with aplomb. However, the tension thickens when another murder takes place, and it looks like one of the actresses could have been the victim of a copycat killer.I readily admit I struggled mightily with the older books in this series. However, the more recent releases have been pretty solid. I think the initial romantic suspense elements have been toned down a little with Savich and Sherlock being married for a little while now and raising a family. So, any new romance comes from secondary characters. In this case, the romance element is fast and furious, but lacks emotional connection, but did play a key part in the story. While I love romantic suspense, it stands to reason that this series has evolved into more of a standard mystery thriller format, which is fine by me, since the storylines are firmer, and the characters have room to develop more as crime solvers. As a result, the crime stories are more complex and interesting. I am also enjoying the addition of new characters and side stories that help keep the series fresh. I liked Cam a lot and hope to see her in future installments, and of course the trademark banter between Savich and Sherlock was entertaining, with their dialogue a little sharper this go around, giving me a few chuckles. While the popularity of this series once left me scratching my head, the last several installments showed me why this series is so well received and has such a loyal following. Overall, this is a pretty solid thriller and I like Savich and Sherlock working in concert, while allowing the spotlight to shine on other characters who get their very own crime to solve. While the author has employed this concept in previous installments, I still found this to be a unique approach and I thought it worked out quite well.
