This book appears to be a second book in the series, and can be read alone but made me want to read the first one. This book held my attention from the first page and I feel the building of suspense was timely and enjoyable. The story also lead to several possible suspects which is something I enjoy in a suspense thriller. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Hide And Seek is a well written suspense. I was glued to the plot with its many twists and turns. I highly recommend this book to fans of suspense.

A great story, well written, likeable characters. This book is an engrossing read and will provide a good few hours of intrigue and entertainment.

As a huge fan of Mary Burton I was thrilled to receive an ARC copy from Netgalley for my honest review. Mary Burton has done it once again! The characters were great. A well written nail biting thriller! Had me guessing till the very end! I love to read a book and not be able to see the end! Well done!

Another enjoyable, light read from Mary Burton.
If you like a pleasant,easy read combining thriller and romance this book will hit the mark. Her plots can be a little thin at times and this book was no different, but still enjoyable as a light read. While reading the book it felt very familiar - I'm not sure if it's just that I've read so many books by Mary burton and it was the style that felt familar, but that detracted from it a little for me.

It was a hard for me to watch Macy physically struggle after following her character in the previous book. She’s a tuff cookie and listens to her instincts, even though she knows she’s taking a chance on her career at times. However, bringing justice to victims & survivors is more important to her and I respect the hell out of that!

I hope a book on Faith is next. I’m constantly looking forward to the next Mary Burton book!!

I received an ARC from Netgallery and am voluntarily giving my review.

This one is a nail biter and action packed with excitement. Macy and Nevada are in a race to find a long term serial killer before Agent Macy Crow becomes the next victim. So many lies make it difficult for Sheriff Mike Nevada and Macy to solve a case that goes back to when most of the potential suspects were in high school. I found myself taking breaks in order to calm down my excitement when I figured out the key players in this web of death. Great work by Mary Burton!

Loved Loved Loved this book. To be fair I love anything Mary Burton writes and this was no different. There was rape, asphyxiation but I felt it was handled appropriately and was very much a part of the story, I read this in one day, I kept waffling on who I thought it was, I was so thrilled to read about Macy Crow. This appears to be the start of a new series , yay again! But if your a true Mary Burton fan you have met Macy before, so some of the story was known, but it had to be shared for a first time reader. This was a novel that had it all for me, mystery, thriller, suspense, romance, tragedy, joy and hope. Thank you Montlake, thank you NetGalley and thank you Mary Burton for sharing your wonderful talent with us all. .

A killer evolves over fifteen years moving from city to city, state to state, and jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Sheriff Mike Nevada had help from Special Agent Macy Crow. She worked the bureau in a few states working high profile cases, but her specialty was human trafficking. Her body wasn’t physically ready for investigative work yet her mind was a terrible thing to waste when a killer was still out there. Macy wanted to prove she was still the agent she’d been before the accident. As the case progressed she began to doubt her efforts, yet she wanted to get back into the game.

This story had situations of rape, binding, and asphyxiation. Mary Burton didn’t go into too much detail regarding these situations, yet the scenes nonetheless were difficult to read.

Some of the transitions were hard to decipher with no clear notation made. An example was in chapter twelve where a past memory was mentioned, yet no indication was made. It would’ve been nice to have a different font to indicate the change in time as a reflection on these past memories. Several times there was a shift in dialogue with only a bullet point separating the dialogue.

As with most detective stories this one too was character driven by an endless array of suspects. The killer was easy to figure out. In my opinion I was less interested in determining who the killer was as I was interested in understanding why he committed the crime.

This is the first book in the criminal profile series and I’m not impressed. I can’t help comparing this story to episodes of CSI. It sounds too familiar with the way the FBI agents profile the killer. The small community of Deep Run of course is a place where everybody knows each other having grown up together therefore they protect each other and have secrets. It just wasn’t an original story in my opinion. Mary Burton wrote about the profiling from a basic standard level lending very little excitement.

I think this was the first time reading one of Mary Burton's book that I was cringing. I enjoyed the book and the characters but I didn't enjoy the retelling or description of the rape scene..But again that is my opinion. In ‘Hide and Seek’ we have the return of Macy Crow to her job where she works as a FBI rep since she had survived a hit and run. She is now trying to prove herself that she can be an agent, and back at work is the case of a missing teenager who has disappeared years ago. Then the suspense begins.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to.

Thank you to #NetGalley for this ARC of #HideAndSeek

Mary Burton hits home with another great suspense novel in Hide and Seek. Burton proves her merit as a seasoned suspense author with her strong tendency for character driven narratives and perfectly paced plots. While the reader is ultimately rewarded with the all the twist, turns, and mystery expected for this genre, Burton, additionally provides a dynamic to the storyline that deepens the reader’s experience by exploring a broad range of the main character’s internal and external conflicts. In this installment, we find ourselves with a favorite character, Special Agent #MacyCrow as she helps hunt down a killer. But this time around, Macy has a lot more on her plate as she is struggling with the ramifications an attempt on her life has left behind. As she is dealing with PTSD, her career role has changed, and the physical alterations the accident left behind has affected her self image more than she cares to admit. The reader is taken on an introspective ride right along side Macy as she tries to redefine herself with the help of an old friend, Mike Nevada. Great Read. 5 stars.

If crime thrillers with a splash of romance is your thing then this book is for you. I have read many of Mary Burton's books and this one is as enjoyable as the previous books.
It follows Macy Crow (a character who appeared in a previous book Cut & Run - I would advise reading this first to get full background on Macy as previous events are referenced within this book) who is recovering from an almost fatal hit & run. As part of her rehabilitation back into work she is given the opportunity to work with an FBI profiling team on a murder case that is being investigated by an ex-colleague and old flame Sheriff Nevada.
The case centres around the discovery of the body of a teenage girl who disappeared without a trace over 10 years ago and appears to be linked to several sexual assaults and attempted murders in the Virginia area.
This was a very engaging read with some decent plot twists and the author done a great job of keeping the reader guessing about the identity of the culprit.
4.5 stars and I will look forward to the next book in what I hope is a series featuring Macy and friends.
Thanks to Netgalley UK, publishers and author for the ARC.

Good book! I love Mary Burton books. This was a quick read with twists that keep you guessing! Quick paced and hard to put down!

I loved this book. Am happy to be starting at the beginning of the series. I wish there was more about Faith but loved this as Macy’s chance to prove herself.

Hide and Seek is a dark gritty thriller that will have readers biting there nails. The story starts with Macy Crow from a previous Mary Burton book .

The characters feels she needs to prove she can still be the best FBI agent possible. Her old mentor Mike Nevada wants to in a way save Marcy from the darkness that steals a part of your soul.

The story is about rap and the characters who were rap give readers a graphic review of what happened to each one of them. Breaking readers heart realizing what can happen to women who are sexual assaulted.



The story is difficult to read for women because the characters who dealing with every woman's worst nightmares. At the same time the author has the ability to bring out the best in woman who want to fight for what is right.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher Montlake for the advance copy of Mary Burton Hide and Seek.

I was given this book for free to provide an honest review. I have to admit that I do not read much mystery and thriller stories but this one gets five stars from me. The characters are described in such detail that you feel you are right there with them. The mystery grips you and you won't stop reading until the end. Various twists in the plot to keep you hooked!

Great read,continuation of the story of Macy Crowe a determined and gutsy agent with the FBI. Gripping thriller which moved along at great pace, cover-ups and twists.

I didn't think each book could get any better than the last!!! But they do! This was a very compelling read from cover to cover. Can't wait for the next book. I am definitely hooked, if you want a book that you can't put down this is it. Thank you to the author please keep writing.

Hide and Seek is a crime thriller. Macy is recovering from a terrible hit and run accident. She is determined to work with the profiling team. She is called to investigate a murder in a small town. Some sparks with an old flame. Macy is a strong determined woman. I liked her. The story is engaging, but I hated the sexual assault scenes. I might have just skipped this book if I had known about that. Fair warning to you. Overall, it's a good read mostly with lots of action and twists to keep you guessing until the end. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
