Mitch Hayden is a no nonsense Texas Ranger trying to get over the lose of his wife. Faith is a no straight to the point Medical Examiner. When people start showing on her table with their throats slit and teenage girls go missing these two go on the search for the killer. When one of the family members of one of the dead guys shows up and looks just like Faith who is an only child things start to heat up not just with the case but with Faith and Hayden. I received an ARC copy for an honest review. Nice job Ms. Burton.

When a medical examiner plays detective in a cold case from thirty years ago.
FBI agent Mary Crow follows the clues left behind by her father. Following these clues unknowingly puts her danger.
There’s several intricate pieces to this puzzle. Keeping track of all the new evidence is tricky while also trying to follow the current leads.

Medical Examiner Faith McIntyre discovers she has a twin sister, but that’s only the beginning to the truths she uncovers. While her sister lays unconscious in a hospital bed Faith picks up the clues left behind by Mary.

Several components make up his mystery in regards to solving the cold case of missing girls. All the twists and turns payoff in the end revealing an epic secret.

Mary was very thorough with the details, facts, and process for retrieving evidence. The way the evidence is being found is fascinating, yet it’s missing that edginess that has me gripping the pages with excitement. I wasn’t buzzing with energy. The big reveal was an unexpected surprise, yet not too shocking.

Stacking up the monster pile was creepy.
This was an okay story. It was well written, yet I still filtered through some information. Some information just didn’t feel pertinent to the growth of the story or characters.

I had forgotten how much I do tend to enjoy Mary Burton's book. This book kept you on your toes from beginning to end. We have Faith McIntyre a medical examiner who is no pushover and she is truly dedicated to her job. Her new romantic interest Michael Hayden has just landed a case where there are a lot of questions and both want answers. We have lots of betrayal, lies, and eventually answers.. Grab a copy and enjoy because you will and you will be busy..

Started and finished the same day! Thank you Net Galley and Montlake for letting me receive this arc. Thank you Mary Burton for your awesome story writing! I thought I knew who it was, and I was wrong. I loved strong independent medical examiner Faith. Texas Ranger Michael and Faith....was an interesting play out. This book was a complete page turner, gut wrenching, heart pounding, mystery, suspense, dark and twisted, with a HEA.
The best of both worlds. I highly recommend this book to everyone, if you have not read Mary before grab this book, be aware this is not for the faint of heart.

Author Mary Burton has a super suspenseful story in her latest book, Cut and Run. The heroine of this story, medical examiner Faith McIntyre is one tough cookie. She doesn't hesitate to step in and investigate some strange happenings including trying to solve the puzzle of why a woman who looks exactly like her is in town and found close to death in a dark alley. Our hero, Texas Ranger Mitchell Hayden is with Faith all the way. He is determined to protect her and keep her safe.

Mary Burton always delivers when it comes to well-written, fast paced, thrilling suspense stories. Cut and Run is no exception. I loved the suspenseful storyline and the thrilling end. I highly recommend this book!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of Cut and Run by Mary Burton that I read and reviewed.
I loved this book. It was excellent from start to finish. I can honestly say I had no idea who was behind the the killings and all the other crimes in the book. I was shocked when who was behind all the twist and turns were revealed at the end.
I also loved the pairing of Faith and Mitchell in the book. They were a very interesting couple and their relationship was a great. I enjoyed how it grew throughout the book.
This was one of Mary Burton better books and I would recommend it to anyone who loves books with romance and suspense because this book was full of both and it kept me on the edge of my seat and I could not put it down.
I can't wait to see is Mary comes out with Macy's story because I would also love to see what happens with her.
I am giving Cut and Run five out of five stars.

I really liked this book. I really liked the second chance romance between Faith and Mitchell. The mastermind and accomplice to the murders was a surprise. To find out, read the book, which drops on 10/9/18. This book is stellar!

This is the first Mary Burton book I have read, but it won't be the last. Not a cozy mystery but a gritty thriller that grabs you, keeping you turning the pages until the end. The characters are interesting with, hopefully, the possibility of more stories about them. I definitely recommend this book and I can't wait to pick up her earlier books. I received an e-book from NetGalley in return for an unbiased review.

As always Mary Burton delivers with a cracking breakneck speed thriller that demands to be devoured in one sitting!

If you are familiar with Mary Burton's work Cut and Run won't disappoint and if you aren't then this book will have you itching to get your hands on her previous books. From start to finish there is not one dull moment and enough revelations and plot twists to have you second guessing leaving traces of doubt as to who is masterminding the sickening crimes.

A brutal murder of a man who has been tortured, a hit and run that leaves a FBI agent in critical condition, a missing pregnant young girl, all seemingly connected somehow to medical examiner Faith McIntyre. And if that wasn't enough for her to deal with it becomes apparent that other historical cases are also connected. But how, why and who will take some seriously dark and twisted turns to make the pieces all fit together.

Faith is a brilliant`protagonist and alongside Texas Ranger Mitchell Hayden their characters and relationship was great, but for me Kat, the troubled teen stole the show. With a chip on her shoulder, hormonal and a touch of a rebellious nature, there is just something about her that is endearing with glimpses of the bright young lady she will become.

The characters are all interesting and have you invested in each of them. I would love there to be a follow-up to this book so we could go back and see how they are all fairing up and what life has in store for them next.

I throughly enjoyed this book and it is definitely one i would recommend, don't be deterred by the romantic suspense category, romance certainly isn't the plots core. It is one for fans of Karen Rose and Karin Slaughter.

Cut and Run is out on 9th October 2019

Oh yes! Mary at her finest. Although this is an unbiased ARC review I'm all in for Faith's and Macy's story. Two strong main characters and a number of strong side characters hold your interest and allow for an intricately blended plot. I couldn't put it down. I know this isn't a series with Her Last Word and The Last Move but I sure would like a couple more to let us see more of all these characters.

Another Grand Slam by Mary Burton. I love her books and have read them all. This book I devoured in 24 hours because I would not and could not stop reading, When FBI Agent Macy Crow arrives in town after her father is brutally murdered, she is the victim of a serious hit and run accident. She is the spitting image of Dr. Faith McIntyre the medical examiner. Texas Ranger Mitchell Hayden along with Dr. McIntyre piece together clues from the cases of missing teenage girls to uncover a chilling and deadly scheme. I wish this Author could write faster. Thanks to NetGalley, Montlake Romance and the Author for allowing me to read and review this book.

I have read a few Mary Burton novels now and this one did not disappoint!

I adore the mix of suspense, crime and romance although there was just a pinch of the latter in this book but it was not to its detriment.

Faith McIntyre is the town's medical examiner and she frequently works cases with Texas Ranger Mitchell Hayden. The most recent case is a little too close to home for Faith as it brings her identical twin sister Macy, whom she did not know existed, to town to investigate too. Macy is an FBI agent who is informed of her adopted fathers torture and death and she believes there is more to this than meets the eye so sets about her own investigation with clues left behind by her late father. Macy ends up the victim of a hit and run and so it's left to Faith and Mitchell to piece the final pieces together.

There is more to this novel and a linked sideline involves 'baby farming' and it was brilliant to read how this all pulled together; I genuinely had no idea who the 'baddie' could be until the final chapter and that is the best kind of suspense story when you don't anticipate the ending!

A fast-paced storyline that made me keep turning the pages with plenty of suspense, intrigue and twists around every corner - very highly recommended. I felt like the story was left open enough to go into more detail for other characters in future novels and that would be very welcome from me!

My thanks to Montlake Romance via NetGalley for providing me with this advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review.

I have read Mary Burton's books for many years. She writes some of the best romantic suspense around and Cut and Run is an excellent example of this. The story revolves around medical examiner Faith McIntyre and the twin she unexpectedly learns about when FBI agent Macy Crow is run down in a hit and run. Texas Ranger Mitchell Hayden is investigating and along the way three 30 year old graves are discovered with the remains of 3 young women. The danger and suspense builds as Faith and Hayden work to determine just what happened 30 years ago and who was responsible. The story is fast moving and rushes to a surprising finish that I didn't see coming.
Faith and Hayden's relationship started as purely a physical need between two people that have known each other for some time, Faith was friends with Hayden's late wife. Mary slowly and quietly builds the chemistry between them into a believable and satisfying romance.
Fans of romantic suspense with an emphasis on suspense will enjoy this book.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I have now read 16 Mary Burton novels!!! I really enjoy her writing. I feel like she writes good crime/suspense novels that have an added touch of romance instead of the other way around.

This new book features the brother of Kate Hayden from her previous book, The Last Move and a new set of characters. I really like Faith and Mitchell together. They worked well as a team to figure out the mystery. There were a lot of twists and turns in the story. We are given pieces of the puzzle throughout the book but I feel like there was still a surprise at the end.

This book introduced many characters that I hope to see again. I'd really like to hear more about Macy, Maggie, and Kat. I feel like the ending left it open to carry on the story.

From beginning of the book I was hook it was thrilling ride. It starts with a young pregnant teenager lock in the basement . In next scene we introduce to Texas Ranger Mitchell Hadyen who arrive at a crime scene for a man name Jack Crow we don't know what ties him to the young pregnant teenager lock in the basement until we meet his adopted daughter Macy Crow who is a FBI Agent when she figure out what her father has done she is involved in a hit and run this is when we introduce to Faith McIntyre the medical examiner and when Mitchell come on to the scene he realize Macy Crow could be Faith twin and this propel them to look futher into Faith past and they realize this case is connected to Faith and Macy past and as well the present case of Jack Crow and the missing pregnant teenager Paige. I so hope the author write another story involving Faith and Macy And the rest of the characters.
