Chris Mooney's The Secret Friend gives me a deja vu. The storyline of this book is strikingly similar to the Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins-starrer Silence of the Lamb in which a young FBI agent, Clarice Starling, tries to catch the psychopath Buffalo Bill, who kidnaps young women and then murders them. However, in The Secret Friend, instead of having Dr Hannibal Lecter, we have a former FBI agent, who leads a young woman, Crime Scene Investigation detective Darby McCormick, to trackdown a psychopath-murderer.
Darby is asked to investigate a body found floating in the Boston harbour. Her instinct and skill make her believe that the murder is linked to the death of another young woman, Emma Hale, the only daughter of a rich and powerful man.
