Story
When Agent Mercedes Ramirez finds an abused young boy on her porch, covered in blood and clutching a teddy bear, she has no idea that this is just the beginning. He tells her a chilling tale: an angel killed his parents and then brought him here so Mercedes could keep him safe. His parents weren’t just murdered. It was a slaughter - a rage kill like no one on the Crimes Against Children team had seen before. But they’re going to see it again. An avenging angel is meting out savage justice, and she’s far from through.

Story
Months after discovering the mastermind behind her own kidnapping, Detective Jude Fontaine is dealing with the past the only way she knows how: by returning to every dark corner of it. But it’s a new, escalating series of mass slayings that has become her latest obsession at Homicide. At first, Jude and her partner, Detective Uriah Ashby, can see no pattern to the seemingly random methods, the crime scenes, or the victims - until they’re approached by a brilliantly compulsive math professor.
Publisher's Summary
A recent abduction becomes an unexpected link to a decades-long spree of unspeakable crimes.
Eight-year-old Brooklyn Mercer has gone missing. And as accustomed as FBI agents Eliza Sterling and Brandon Eddison are to such harrowing cases, this one has struck a nerve. It marks the anniversary of the disappearance of Eddison’s own little sister. Disturbing, too, is the girl’s resemblance to Eliza - so uncanny they could be mother and daughter.
With Eddison’s unsettled past rising again with rage and pain, Eliza is determined to solve this case at any cost. But the closer she looks, the more reluctant she is to divulge to her increasingly shaken partner what she finds. Brooklyn isn’t the only girl of her exact description to go missing. She’s just the latest in a frightening pattern going back decades in cities throughout the entire country.
In a race against time, Eliza’s determined to bring Brooklyn home and somehow find the link to the cold case that has haunted Eddison - and the entire Crimes Against Children team - since its inception.

Love but really annoyed
I love this series! I have ever since I read about the butterflies. But sometimes I want to remind the author that not all of us are multilingual. I know a bit of Spanish, but when they go off into conversations it’s very frustrating and makes me wonder what I’m missing.

NO MYSTERY HERE
I selected this audiobook because it was advertised as a mystery and the exceptional Will Damron was listed as the primary narrator (his name being listed first). But after struggling to listen to the very end of the story, I felt swindled; this is not a mystery, and Damron's role is extremely limited (perhaps 15% of the narration). The story begins okay within the mystery genre but quickly sinks into hours of totally non-mystery-related dialogue and monotonous juvenile and unprofessional interactions among the FBI agents assigned to the case (including the preachy agent Eliza Sterling, adequately narrated by Jesse Vilinsky), all of which is totally unnecessary and eventually becomes rather irritating. The male FBI character Brandon Eddison (Damron's role) is unlikeable, with extreme anger and guilt issues that need urgent psychological intervention. This audiobook is a definite "no, Dude".

Not the best
I loved the butterfly garden and the sequel to that wasn’t as good but manageable. This one it’s painful to get through. The storyline isn’t good and feels rushed. It’s all over the place and too long. I wanted to enjoy the last of the trilogy but each book has a decline in storyline and plot for me.

Not as good as the first couple in series
The first couple of books were less about the romance and more about the creepiness of the crimes. This one seemed to have gotten even softer than the last. The narration was a little annoying with the voicing of the little children but I understand why it is done, but still a bit annoying.

Disappointed!
I LOVED the first book in the series and really enjoyed the next two but I honestly don't even have any idea what the point of this one was! It seemed like it was just to have one more but not well thought out. really really bummed to see the series finish up this way.

This review is for The Collector, the series
This book is the end of an outstanding series. Each of the member of the FBI task force has their moment of fame throughout the series and not one of the books ever disappoint. Although a different type of happy ending, bringing closure to the different cases the group has, it's a plus. Each of the narrators did spectacularly well. Making appropriate inflections to the situation the characters are, as well as making it possible to identify when a different character was in play.
Dot Hutchison did a fantastic job in creating a series of stories that, although interconnected, have a life on their own. I strongly recommend the entire series, but do have to say, book 1 and 4 were my absolute favorites. Excellent books!
