Zoe Spencer, an FBI criminal profiler is able to recreate the faces of unidentified murder victims. As the face she is working on is identified as a missing girl from a decades old cold case, Zoe is determined to find the killer. The case has her working again with detective William Vaughn, who is also her former lover. When the murders start again with “look a-likes”, Zoe and Vaughn are pressed to find the killer. A good romantic suspense that Mary Burton is known to write. Thank you Netgalley and the publisher Montlake Romance for an early copy of this book. I voluntarily read this book and the comments are my own.
Mary Burton is an author I don’t even bother reading the description before buying! And she has not disappointed me yet. FBI special agent Zoe Spencer and Detective William Vaughn, come together to work a case that happened awhile back. With a burned skeleton head, Zoe recreates the face of a young lady who disappeared when she was 19. Both agents go to the sisters house and share the news. From the start of this book to the end, there is no stopping the twists and turns that come up in finding the killer(s). As new information comes out, a twisted family history comes to light. And the agents have to wonder, who is telling the truth. Absolutely loved this book!!
If you haven't read this series before, you can jump in here without feeling lost. You may want to go back and get some more depth on the characters, but you will enjoy this book either way :)
Well written, suspenseful, with twists and turns that keep you turning the pages, you won't get bored.
This was an edge of your seat suspense novel, it grabbed me from the first page and never let go. The author led you down so many paths I couldn’t figure out who did it. Just when I thought I had it figured out the author switched directions. Thank you to net galley for a copy of this book.
Another well-written, solid mystery/romance by Mary Burton. Hooked from the beginning. Definitely recommend this fast- paced book. This is a great series (I loved that last one Hide and Seek) and this latest installment did not fail to deliver. Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you #netgalley and #montalkeromance for the eARC.
A big thank you to NetGalley and Montlake Publishing for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. First time reading this author. This I believe is part of a series, but reads well as a stand alone. This is a convoluted murder mystery than spans many years. I liked Zoe and Vaughn. I thought Nikki was a crazy fool. Zoe is basically a FB I artist/does facial.reconstruction. Good book. I enjoyed it a solid 4.
Thanks to Netgalley and Montlake for a sneak peek at this new thrilled from Mary Burton.
From page one of I SEE YOU I was hooked. I love a good police procedural but this book was so much more.
The title I felt was a metaphor. We all see the wonderful, great American family living next door to us. But do we really know what goes on behind closed doors?
Great writing and just enough pacing to keep the tension building highlights this work by Mary Burton. I highly recommend it.
Complicated!
Twisted!!
Non stop action!!!
I must say that I did figure out part of the who dun it. And was a wee bit miffed at that out come. There are multiple layers to this story.
Zoe was pretty badass and I liked the dynamic of her & Vaughn.
As I have been on a binge of this author I’m looking forward to more in this series.
I SEE YOU...Mary. Burton
Zoe attention to minute detail’s with each facial reconstructions she does. Wanting to restore the murder victim’s identity and get justice for them. This bring Detective Vaughn back into her life, and together they go to the sister’s home. The husband knew what had happened a decade ago, thier girl Skylar didn’t, The plot takes off, and there are many twists, to come to a surprising end, of how they were connected. The author has given us a personal look as Zoe risks everything to bring justice to this face, that now has a name. Given ARC for my voluntary review and my honest opinion by Net.Galley and Montlake
Absolutely Magnificent .
I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy through Netgallery of I See You .
I was captivated from beginning till the end .
The story is an on the edge of your seat thriller .
There are so many twists and turns I had a hard time figuring it out till the conclusion . The characters are a very unique collection of people .
This story is one heck of a rollercoaster ride . Special Agent Zoe Spencer works for the FBI Criminal Profiler Division . Her specialty is forensic sketches and or sculptures . She is tasked in reconstructing a burnt skull that was discovered in a trunk by Reporter Nikki McDonald the king out a tip .
Together Zoe and Alexandria Homicide Detective William Vaughan reopen a cold case of a Missing persons no longer missing . Little do they know what a can of worms is opened . This is one of the best page turning thriller - romance I've read . Absolutely a must read . I highly recommend taking the time to read and enjoy as much as I did .
Great book will be reading other books by this author.
Will also recommend this book to others.
Great read! 5*****
Really enjoyed this novel. Excellent storyline build up and fascinating characters bring this story to life. I will definitely reading more books by this talented author.
An intense, suspenseful, and thrilling read. Zoe gives the faceless a face so their families can have closer. In this book Zoe finds the face of a 10 yr old case. More destruction is too come. On the edge of my sit most of the way through
This was such an intriguing book. There are a lot of twists and turns. Just when you thought you understood what was going on the storyline took another turn. I loved this book very much. It kept me engaged throughout the telling of the story. The writing is flawless. Once again Mary Burton proved she is a master storyteller. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own
This book was definitely not what I was expecting. It was better. Edge of your seat thriller that keeps you hooked from beginning to end. Although it's a standalone book, I'm definitely going to be reading the first if it's just as good as this one.
Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
A suspense novel of the highest order from a master of her craft.
A 911 call by a distraught man, he’s been stabbed, his wife and daughter both abducted by a masked intruder, their bedroom is awash with blood. And so begins the hunt for the two missing females.
After a tip off to a disgraced reporter, Nikki McDonald, the discovery of a human bones has Special Agent Zoe Spencer putting her skills to use in the attempts to identify the victim. With no DNA available due to the bones having been burnt and the teeth removed, Zoe is the only hope now into a positive identification. And it is that identification that connects the two cases together. The young lady that Zoe’s reconstruction identifies was a woman who had gone missing years before, the sister to the woman that has been abducted by the masked intruder.
As Zoe and Alexandria homicide detective William Vaughan join forces and cases they begin delving into the Foster family, what actually happened that day Hadley and Skylar were taken, and the connection to her sister, Marsha Prince, who disappeared eighteen years prior.
This is the second book in the criminal profiler series featuring Zoe Spencer and her masterful talent of facial recreation sculptures. Thankfully it reads as a standalone as I haven’t read the first book, Hide and Seek, as of yet as I was unaware it was the second in the series! Book 1 has now been added to my tbr pile! The relationship between Spencer and Vaughan was as good as the plot, both worked unbelievably well and as always Burton writes a mean seduction scene! As to the who done it element, I had that figured out well before the reveal, however it didn’t take any of the enjoyment out of the reading.
If you have read a Mary Burton book before then you will know what to expect and won’t be disappointed. If you are new to her books then this one is a good place to start and it will have you digging into the back collection of her earlier work.
Murders, mysteries, secrets and lies, add to that a light touch of romance and you have the ingredients that have come together to bring you Mary Burton’s new novel, I See You.
I See You will be published on 08 October 2019 and is available to preorder now. It will also be available to read for free with Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited.
Thank you to the author Mary Burton, publishers Montlake Romance and NetGalley for my copy of this boo in exchange for an honest and independent review.
I See You is a page turning mystery suspense with a light touch of romance. A reporter is given a tip, acting on this she is lead to a chest with the remains of a skeleton inside. FBI agent Zoe Spenser, using her skills and special technology is able to reconstruct the facial features leading her and homicide detective William Vaughan to discover this is a missing woman from years previously. So an investigation begins whilst Vaughan also has the murder of a prostitute to investigate.
This story is one of family secrets with a cast of well rounded interesting characters and the old and new cases coming together.
A story I really enjoyed , particularly in part to the two main characters, very likeable and well written. I did work out who the culprits were, but that was luck on my part!
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.
A reporter gets a tip to go to a storage unit and open up a trunk. She has found a young woman that has been missing for over ten years. However, some of the evidence is the same as a young prostitute that was killed recently, so is there a serial killer in the area?
I think this is best Burton book so far. A great novel with lots of twists and turns!
Another great read by this author. Full of action, suspense, mystery, and just the right amount of romance. Zoe and Vaughn have a complicated case that seems to spiral into several cases. I guessed the ending ahead of time but there were a lot of surprises that had me doubting myself until the end. There were a lot of intriguing characters in this one.
Zoe Spencer is a FBI agent and makes sketches and bust off murder victims. Several years ago a nineteen year old girl went missing and a reporter gets a tip to find a trunk. When she opens it, a skeleton is inside, it the remains of the missing girl. William Vaughn is a homicide detective and has had an on again/ off again relationship with Spencer. Now they are working together to find out who killed the woman. While they are working on the case, the girls sister and niece disappear too. It’s a race against time to find them before it’s too late.
Awesome story with plenty of action and suspense. A single dad and a woman who started out to be a ballerina but ends up a FBI agent. First time reading this author and I couldn’t put it down.
