Black Friday (Maggie O'Dell, Bk 7)

Americans are rushing to the Mall of America on the Nation's biggest shopping day of the year. No one expects three deadly bombs to be detonated inside that mall. FBI Profiler Maggie O'Dell is called to the scene to construct a profile of the bombers. Why would three young men each carry a red backpack with a lock into the mall? Who were the young man and woman seen on the security tapes entering the mall with one of the bombers? Maggie has her work cut out for her to discover the motive behind the explosions, especially when she learns that there are more incidents planned for this weekend.

I had a hard time putting this book down. It was fast moving and suspenseful. I liked that Maggie uses her strengths to help determine what exactly happened in that mall and who is behind the deadly bombings. But I didn't like the non-resolution of the story. My rating: 4 Stars.
