Second, Death (An Alex Quinn Suspense Thriller—Book Two) Kindle Edition

4.0 out of 5 stars 537 ratings

Interpol agent Alex Quinn, 29, born to Italian-Turkish parents, is a multi-lingual genius. With an advanced degree in Criminal Psychology from a university in France and a PHD from a Germany university, Alex was recruited by Interpol at the age of 25—their youngest recruit—because of her encyclopedic knowledge of serial killers. When a body is found hanging from the rafters of the Notre Dame in Paris, Alex is dispatched immediately—but this killer may just be the match she has yet to meet…

“A brilliant book. I couldn’t put it down and I never guessed who the murderer was!”
—Reader review for Only Murder
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

SECOND, DEATH is book #2 in a new series by #1 bestselling and critically acclaimed mystery and suspense author Rylie Dark, whose books have received over 2,000 five-star reviews and ratings.

With killers preying in high-trafficked historic sites, Interpol convenes a special task force to hunt them down before panic spreads—and finds no one better to head up this new force than Alex Quinn.

Beautiful in an exotic way, with a mixture of her Mediterranean heritage, Alex, with her olive complexion and startling green eyes, bears a pencil thin scar along one hand from the palm to the tip of a finger—a scar that keeps her single-mindedly focused on avenging her parents.

Able to solve cases in record time, Alex has been all over Europe for nearly a decade. Yet one killer still eludes her.

The man who killed her parents.

The darkness of past propels her—yet it also threatens to swallow her whole…

A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured Interpol agent, the Alex Quinn series is a riveting mystery, a cat-and-mouse thriller packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night. Fans of Rachel Caine, Teresa Driscoll and Robert Dugoni are sure to fall in love.

    Fascinated by the idea of Quinn’s gift is fluency in many languages. Clever writing to use such a tool to solve crimes. Great dynamics between the trio agents. I enjoyed the second book even more than the first. Looking forward to book 3!

    Ms. Dark, I did not like the plot, could care less, after your dragging me through two books, how your sister was responsible for your parents death, and find yourself a new printer so I don't have to have to flip five pages to get to a new one!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Tale in More Ways Than One
    Reviewed in France on January 13, 2024
    Perhaps one of the best of its genre. A mystery drawing upon so many symbols of the people and places through which this hectic search for a psychotic serial killer races and terminates in a morbid manmade underworld. The author weaves a tightly developed tale, wasting no time on extraneous matters but leaving occasional glimpses of the solutions to this and other mysteries.
