Damaged by Alex Kava

Maggie O'Dell, FBI profiler returns in this eighth novel about O'Dell. It opens with the discovery of a cooler filled with wrapped body parts found off the coast of Pensacola. She is joined by a cast of characters including her love interest Colonel Benjamin Platt, Liz Bailey (search and rescue for the Coast Guard), Liz's Dad, Liz's brother-in-law funeral director and the mysterious Joe Black.

Readers are thrust into the pending doom of a major hurricane about to hit the coast. Maggie is called in to figure out where the body parts came from. Col Platt is called to a nearyby military post to determine why soldiers are dying from a mysterious bacterium.

This was a good mystery. The premise was easy to follow, the setting was realistic and the characters were believable.

Worth the read!
