In Remote: the Six, a serial killer is murdering families across the country. He arranges the victims in strange scenes before murdering them. FBI Special Agent Lukas Stark has been chasing the killer for months. With no trace evidence or motive, Stark is getting nowhere. Stark is forced to allow Gilles, a strange and mysterious man, to assist the investigation. Gilles claims he has a special ability to “see” things remotely. It’s the same ability as the killer. As the killing sprees escalate, Stark gets entangled in a web a deep government secrets. He’s pushed to the brink trying to find the killer before the next family dies.
The twist in this story is the killer’s psychic ability to remotely spy on people. It’s a different take on the omnipotent serial killer trope. Stark and Gilles make an odd pair since Stark is so skeptical of Gilles’ ability. Throw in the mad serial killer, a deep dark government program and cover up and you get an entertaining thriller. I liked this one, but didn’t love it. Stark being the only agent investigating an escalating serial killer was too big a plot hole to ignore. I’d still recommend this book, but I doubt I’ll continue reading the series.
Can you abandon a series or must you absolutely continue it?
