Book Review: Cut to the Bone (Agent Sayer Altair #3) by Ellison Cooper

Cut to the Bone (Agent Sayer Altair, #3)
Title:  Cut to the Bone (Agent Sayer Altair #3)

Author: Ellison Cooper 

Stars: 5

Review:
This series will be one I will read again and again. Warning You need to start with book 1 to completely understand what is happening in book 3. 
Ellison Cooper is able to weave a story that will have reader engaged in the sub plot lines as well as the major story line.  Ellison weaves a story of betrayal, curiosity, friendships and family with so much ease authors and readers alike will find themselves needing more from this author to see where her writing will take her.
The author background in Anthropology is very much obvious as she tells her story with a scientific background

The story creates a world with a woman who grieves for those she lost as well as those she might lose.  Sayer wants to understand how the mind works in psychopaths to better understand what turns a person to kill vs being successful.  Awhile saving the world and the FBI she loves!
The cast of characters are amazing, flawed, relatable and very human.  Sayer is able to bring the misfits of the work into her working and home life where everyone is able to fall in love with the banter, communication and the overwhelming love the author  put into each and everyone of these characters.

This a can't miss series!!
