Wordhunter: A Novel (A Wordhunter Mystery, 1)

An Amazon Best of the Year Pick “Smart, original, and entirely entertaining.” –Alafair Burke, NYT Bestselling author of Find Me An utterly original and compulsively readable detective story, this gripping psychological suspense novel is about a woman who uses her uncanny ability to analyze words and speech patterns to help solve crimes. Tattooed, pierced, and a bit of a mess, Maggie Moore is a surprising genius when it comes to words, a savant able to solve any linguistic puzzle. The top student in her forensic linguistics class, she’s tapped by local police to use her skills to decipher harrowing notes left by a stalker-turned-rapist―and succeeds brilliantly. But when the daughter of a local mayor is abducted, Maggie isn’t sure she’s the right person to help the police solve the missing person case. Given what happened to her best childhood friend, Maggie just might be too close to this one. Yet she knows the authorities in this rural south-Central Florida town cannot crack the case without her special skill. Along with her new best friend, a detective Jackson, Maggie begins to analyze the texts, emails, and verbal tics of various suspects . . . and comes to a disturbing conclusion that will rock this small community. “A crackling mystery centered on a Lisbeth Salanderesque savant.” – Publisher’s Weekly (Starred Review)
