Trust no one - the rich and powerful seem to be in a position to get what they want through any means necessary. A husband, a mother murdered and a pregnant wife missing. All is not what it seems as Detectives Devlin and Falco, new partners, investigate the seamy side of the wealthy in this story. The amount of people which are connected in this story is brilliantly tied together for an amazing conclusion.

Detective Kerri Devlin has a new partner, Detective Falco. She is not too sure about him but the longer they work together the better their relationship. Their first case is a double murder with the wife missing. Thee are some high profile people involved with this family. It seems like the further they go the more complicated the story is. The story goes back years before when the missing lady's sister went missing. I found this a great story with many twists and turns. Hard to tell sometimes who was the good guy. Look forward to reading more with these two detective.

Well, this book was certainly a pleasant surprise! I’ve never read a Debra Webb book before, so I didn’t know what to expect. The book is billed as the double homicide of Daniel Webb and his mother-in-law, and the disappearance of his pregnant wife Sela. The investigation is led by harried Detective Kerri Devlin whose former partner and mentor has retired, and now she’s been saddled with a new partner, rebel Detective Luke Falco. The pressure is great to solve this case and to make matters worse, her manipulative ex-husband wants custody of their thirteen-year-old daughter Tori.

The suspects begin to pile up, including a number of high-profile local citizens who have many secrets to protect. In addition, her own niece Amelia goes missing and it seems she is attached to the case as well. As the case intensifies, Devlin must decide who to trust. Will her new partner prove to be trustworthy?

The first part of this book was a slow build, mostly character building, and there were a lot of characters, so many that I had trouble keeping them straight at times. Around the halfway mark it really picked up the pace and I was hooked up until the climatic end. I will be checking out her backlist for sure. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book. I gave it four stars.

this book was pretty good, good storyline, too many characters though and how many interlocking storylines was unbelievable. but if you were willing to suspend belief or else believe that there were only 25 people in that city........... but still interesting enough.

Start with a double murder, have a new partner no one wants, your ex is trying to take your daughter and you might have killed someone. Just a day in the life of homicide Detective Kerri Devlin. There was alot going on in this book, multiple povs that at times were too much for my tiny brain, but the twists, the turns in the plot were top notch. Kerri and Falco made a great duo and I hope to see more of them. Thank you Debra Webb. Thomas and Mercer and Netgalley for the arc. I freely volunteer my thoughts and opinions.

Thank you to NetGalley for sharing the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A double homicide and a missing woman lead a detective to unearth disturbing secrets.
It's a story of revenge that follows Detective Kerri Devlin and her new partner, Falco, while they dive in a double homicide investigation. This is the most detailed criminal investigation story I've ever come across. I felt like I was working to the case with the detective, I think it is well written and has very likeable characters. I find it a bit slow-paced, but overall loved all the twists and turns!

Trust No One couldn’t have a better title. This intricate story of revenge follows Detective Kerri Devlin and her new partner, Falco, while they dive in a double homicide investigation. Although a bit slow-paced at the beginning, I’m willing to read more from the (I suppose and expect to be) series.
Even if Debra warns you to trust no one, you can trust me on this: when you least expect it, you’ll be thrilled. Main characters are well developed and somehow damaged, which honestly only makes them more credible for me, if that even makes sense.
Despite giving a few hints due to different POVs, so we can get ahead of the investigators, the plot still manages to surprise.

I’ve read some of the authors other work and enjoyed it but unfortunately this one fell a little flat for me. There were a lot of characters to keep track of and the side plots became confusing. The case hooked me from the beginning and I was invested in finding the truth. I enjoyed the characters and their relationships. Overall, a fine read but a bit too messy in the execution. My thanks to the publisher for the advance reader in exchange for my honest review.

Trust No One is an intricate story of revenge and how far someone will go to right a wrong. It starts with a double homicide that initially puzzles Detective Kerri Devlin and her partner: the husband and mother are dead but the pregnant wife is nowhere to be found. Each time they think they have a break in the case they peel back another layer of the wife's past. Is she a victim or a suspect? As Detective Devlin deals with the twists of the case she realizes that some powerful people are involved- and they will do anything to cover up their involvement. Debra Webb has written a book that takes the reader on an interesting ride. I would recommend this book to fellow readers.

TRUST NO-ONE.......Debra Webb
Detective Kerri Devlin Is teamed with Falco, her job now was to properly orientate him. From his wardrobe, to hair, he had been undercover

Debra Webb has captivated her readers once again with this book, every story she tells gets better and better.
This story has in a mystery/suspense book., with lots of twists, turns and surprises.

I love reading anything by Debra and I has to say that I was drawn into this story from the first chapter. This is the first book in a new series by Debra Webb it had everything you want, there was plenty of action and lots of twist and turns that took you on a roller coaster of a ride. I am looking forward to more in this series and seeing what the characters get up to next. Whilst there were some parts of the plot you could guess there were also a few surprises. It’s fast paced, and definitely worth a read.

Debra's books always keep me up to the early hours of the morning reading. I never get much sleep when reading one of her books. I truly enjoyed this book and it was a fabulous story that I would recommend it to all.

This book follows detective Kerri Delvin and her partner as they work to solve a double homicide in Birmingham, AL. The book starts at the end, something that I think was meant to capture my attention, but I forgot about it really quickly since it didn't make sense with the time hop. The book overall felt like a drawn out episode of Law & Order, with the detectives spouting lines typically of a slightly cheesy tv series. It did however make it super easy to visual the writing and follow along with the story. I appreciated how often the two recounted the facts of the investigation as it was also hard for me to keep all the characters straight at times. It wasn't the most creative story, but it did hold my attention and I'd definitely recommend it others!

Trust No One
Debra Webb

Once again the author grabs you at the beginning and doesn’t let you go until the very end. Debra Webb has a knack of leading you through a maze where you think you have found the end only to come to a road block. Devlin and Falco can’t seem to get a break, but when they work together as true partners a solution is in sight.
Another late night read in a new series.

If you want an edge of your seat thriller/suspense, Debra Webb is the one to read.
Trust No One opens with two murders and a pregnant woman who is missing. Devlin is given a new partner just when her personal life is in turmoil. I like how it shows a real life type of relationship between partners and how she is dealing with personal life.
Look forward to seeing these characters develop

2.5 First, a thank you to NetGalley for sharing the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I always hate to give a meh or negative review, but I honestly didn't much care for this novel. I never fail to enjoy a solid police procedural, especially when the primary character is a strong woman seasoned with experience. And perhaps therein lies part of the problem - that I have read so many that I have enjoyed so much more. Although I have not read any of the author's previous books and therefore have no basis for comparison, the majority of readers sang her praises, so I decided to give this one a go. However, I found the characters hollow and it was as though I was once removed from the story. I also never like it when a story is interspersed with brief bits of inner dialogue by the unnamed villain as it breaks the momentum of the story and too often gives away too many clue. Thus, the conclusion was anticlimactic and didn't come as much of a surprise. If I'm going to take the time to read a 400+ novel, I want it to end with a bang.

The author provided a lot of suspense and intrigue that had me reading this in one sitting. The conspiracy angle added another layer of mystery to the story.

It’s good to get in at the first book of a new series by an author you enjoy reading. TRUST NO ONE by Debra Webb revolves around a multiple murder case with connections to a city's powerful elite; as well as having deep reaching tentacles into the past. Devlin and Falco are an interesting partnership, one straight-laced and the other just emerging from years undercover, but their personalities play well off of each other, strengths to weaknesses; and you know that they will make for good reading in books to come. There was just enough familiar introduction and past revelations so that we, the readers, could better know why the detectives reacted as they did in certain situations. Yes, this was and will be a good detective series, one a I highly recommend and look forward to reading more of in the future.
