Her body is broken. Wrapped in plastic. Dumped on the side of the road. She is the first. There will be more. A serial killer stalks women in rural Ohio. He is deranged but brilliant, known only by the grotesque nickname the media has given him -- The Doll Parts Killer. The name is apt. He dismembers his victims and leaves them in garbage bags in public places. Residential neighborhoods. Next to a roller rink. Behind a Burger King. The investigation is a disaster. No physical evidence. Unreliable witnesses. To make matters worse, the FBI has lost contact with the star profiler working the case. Now rookie agent Violet Darger gets the most important assignment of her career. When Darger travels to Ohio, she brings along demons of her own. Her last case ended in tragedy. The death of a 16 year old girl. Darger still has nightmares about the bloody scene, still has panic attacks when she remembers. The trauma shattered her core beliefs. Now she faces a killer unlike anything she's seen. Aggressive. Territorial. If she fails, more will die. He will kill again and again. Will this case restore her faith? Or push her over the edge? The victims harbor dark secrets. The clues twist and writhe and refuse to keep still. And the killer watches the investigation on the nightly news, gleeful to relive the violence, knowing that he can't be stopped.

Young FBI Agent Violet has her hands full as she wades her way through a difficult first case. Her mentor is no help, the locals are jerks and she has to literally find her way alone through a grisly case that tests the talents of the most seasoned veteran. If he was any help. But why isn't he helping? It's as big a mystery as the case. Treat yourself to a great read from two authors that just keep getting better with every book. Is there nothing these two can't write?"

Dead End Girl Violet Darger Volume 1 LT Vargus Tim McBain 9781544172866 Books Reviews


  • Skip this book. How it has 4 stars is beyond comprehension. I have no idea how it took 2 authors to write this, but they should have multiple editors instead.
    The main character is 100% dislikable and makes idiotic decisions in every chapter. I began to root for the serial killer to get her at about 30% of the way thru. Every time she screwed something new up I cheered him on more. And the serial killer is the most boring Killer I have ever seen in print. How hard can it be to make the killer somewhat interesting!?
    This book was a punishment I know why it was $4 now
    I read any book thru to the end but this one was painful. To top it all off, the ending made no sense. At that point was just happy it was over.
  • Dead End Girl is a tightly woven, fast-paced, tension-laced thrill ride. How do I know? Because it's 496 pages long and it felt like reading a novella. For pretty much two days I did nothing but read this book and wish it would never end. By the end of the first chapter, Violet felt like an old friend; I just wanted to hang out and watch her solve grisly serial murders forever.

    Because of the serial killer and the FBI trainee with the haunted past chasing him, the obvious comparison is Silence of the Lambs—and don't get me wrong, if you liked Silence of the Lambs, you'll love Dead End Girl. But with the story taking an active interest in Violet Darger's life outside of the case, Dead End Girl—and likely all of the Violet Darger series—will also be a favorite among lovers of J.A. Konrath's Jack Daniels mysteries. At the same time, there's so much attention to detail and organic storytelling that this could easily compete with any of Stephen King's longer works. I found myself completely invested in every character, from the authorities to the killer to the victims themselves.

    Because blood and gore are great, and tracking down sickos is fun, but the living aren't the only characters who haunt the pages of Dead End Girl—the victims come to life, too. The authors have presented us with people, not Doll Parts, individuals who had names, families, flaws, senses of humor, and dreams before death turned them into front page fodder, clickbait, and short appositives that left more room for sensationalizing their grisly end. At its heart, that's what Dead End Girl is all about—forcing us to reevaluate our own voyeuristic interest in death, as well as the snap judgments about people that we make every day.

    Dead End Girl is an intriguing and entertaining start to what I hope is a long, long run of Violet Darger novels. If the whole series was available today, I'd buy them all and binge-read them straight through, but since it's not, I'm waiting on the edge of my favorite reading chair for the next one. If you love the serial killer genre, then this is a must-read for you.

  • Suspense novels about serial killers are not my usual cup of tea, but I found Dead End Girl fast-paced and gripping. What hooked me into this book and kept me going, though, was Violet Darger she's believable as an FBI agent, gritty, and determined. It's not easy to create a character who can carry a series, but I think Vargus/McBain have done it with Violet. Kudos especially to the "slice of life" dialogue; the authors have a good ear for how people really talk.
  • Don't start this book if you don't have time to finish it. Reading is something I love so to help my health I only allow reading while on a treadmill. I couldn't follow that rule with this book. I have read complaints the book was too long but not for me. I loved that you got to know and care about all the characters in the book. Even knowing they wouldn't start a series about Violet with her dying it had me scared to the last second. I can't wait to read more about this character in future books. Wonderful job!
  • Pretty good mystery. A serial killer who likes to keep the heads of his victims as long as he can. FBI agent Violet Darger is a strong woman, but I didn’t particularly like her. I just couldn’t find myself rooting for her. Maybe she will grow on me if I read the next book in the series. A good detail written story though. I did enjoy it.
  • Serial killer who dismembers his female victims.
    Biggest complaint - unnecessarily detailed in the grotesque.
    Unrealistic behavior by the FBI as an organization and by the agents as individuals.
    Major spoiler When the killer is finally identified, it's a new character.
  • Exciting, scary, gut wrenching, what more could any reader want? This is a great reading experience full of great characters and based on a true to life story line. There's nothing about this story that didn't like. It held my interest cover to cover. When I awoke in the middle of the night, did I turn over and go back to sleep? Heck no. Instead I found myself reaching for my to read a few more chapters. This story is good. Give it a try and you'll have a favorite new author who gave you a favorite new heroin.
