I really like this series, anyone who appreciates police themed suspense will recognize and appreciate Debra Webb. Kerri and Luke each have a past that does not indicate they will be the best of partners, yet they gel in a very workable manner. Luke is respected and adored by Kerri's daughter who desperately needs to feel valued. This case delves into a dark side of Birmingham's past that may still be present in the most insidious form. Who to trust and how far to trust them makes for some very unlikely allies.

Gone Too Far – Debra Webb

If you are a fan of mysteries & thrillers and prefer recurring characters, you’ll definitely want to give Webb’s Falco & Devlin team a try.

Fresh off their first novel (which I have not yet read, but I certainly plan to), Birmingham Detectives Luke Falco & Kerri Devlin are called to the scene of a murder. Two bodies, seated in chairs, hands bound behind them, and shot execution style. One of them is a bar owner, but the other is none other than Birmingham’s Deputy District Attorney Asher Walsh. As they begin to assess the scene, Kerri gets a phone call from her daughter Tori’s school, and they need to see her immediately.

Leaving Falco to continue the murder investigation, Kerri goes to her daughter, only to find her being interrogated by colleagues, and learns that Tori was one of four young women standing on a staircase landing, when a classmate Brendal, either fell or was pushed, resulting in critical injury. None of the teens are able to state what happened, with Tori telling her mother that she doesn’t remember.

Meanwhile, Sadie Cross, former BPD Detective turned private investigator, is slowly trying to put her life back together. Sadie had been presumed lost on a deep undercover operation, only to re-appear a year later, with only scattered bits and pieces of memories of the events that lead to her disappearance, along with the haunting memory of a child lost.

As the investigation commences, it quickly becomes apparent that DDA Walsh was looking into the Osorio drug cartel, the same cartel that Sadie had infiltrated on her undercover op, but what was his connection? Falco, Devlin & Sadie become unlikely partners as they dig deep into the investigation, while Kerri also desperately tries to protect her daughter from an increasingly hostile situation…

Another great find, thanks to Thomas & Mercer Publishers & Netgalley.com. I have always enjoyed mystery/suspense series with recurring characters and this duo does not disappoint! This is the second in a (so far) two book series, and alludes to events in the first book, so I’m off to find that for my next read – so, suggesting that they be read in order! The characters are very likeable, and there appears to be a deepening connection between Kerri & Luke that begs to be explored in future stories. Sadie is also a fascinating persona, with a brash, irascible, devil-may-care personality, which I suspect will also under-go great change in the next in the series. Honestly, I cannt wait to get me hands on it. There’s nothing better than a series, that has you desperate to get your hands on the next edition! Great read, great characters, great plot, great series!! Need I say more??

I really enjoyed the previous in the series and was looking forward to reading this. I was not disappointed and found this to be a gripping mystery with great characters. It kept me hooked from start to finish.

Yep .. this series is a winner! This second book in the Devlin and Falco series captured my attention from the beginning, kept me invested all the way through and left me wanting so much more!

This is a must read series - definitely recommend that you read them in order.

I can’t wait to see what happens in book 3.

Thank you #netgalley and #thomas&mercer for this eARC.

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery. The characters were great and story line was very enjoyable. Will definitely look for more in the series!

I just recently read Debra Webb for the first time in her new series book one “Trust No One” and was very impressed so was thrilled when I was given the chance to read the second installment, “Gone Too Far.” Birmingham police detectives Kerri Devlin and Luke Falco are back and they are on fire. When the city’s DA is found dead they pull in the hardened former BPD detective Sadie Cross from the last book for help and things go south quickly from there. The case is complicated and multi-faceted, and Kerri and Luke are unsure who to trust. To make matters worse. Keri’s daughter, Tori, is involved in a suspicious “mean-girl” attack at school that threatens her future.

This synopsis does not do the book justice as this book is one of the best thrillers I’ve read this year. There were quite a few characters to keep up with, but all in all it was not difficult to follow. It was especially rewarding to learn Sadie Cross’s back story which is an important part of the book. I eagerly await the next installment of this series. Many, many thanks to #netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book. I gave it four and half stars rounded up to five! #GoneTooFar

Webb of Lies

Get it? Webb of Lies... anyway! Gone too Far is a great mystery novel with a whole web of cases and character stories! It’s very well thought out and planned out. I really enjoyed journeying through my first Devlin & Falco book, although this is the second in series.

There are a few things I have questions on, but they would definitely be spoiler alerts. With that in mind, I think I need to read the first book to have some of them answered. So don’t let that stop you from reading this one! It really has great twists and turns, a couple of them I didn’t even catch! Happy reading!

Second book in this series I thoroughly enjoyed the two main characters with a top-notch story with a solid plot line and non-stop action. I am looking forward to reading more from this author. I received an e-book from NetGalley in return for an unbiased review.

This book is a complex, complicated storyline with many characters that are vital to the story.
Kerri Devlin and, her partner Luke Falco are Homicide Detectives in BPD who are called out to a double murder at a bar. It is the bar owner and, the very prominent DDA of the city.
At the same time, Kerri's daughter Tori is caught up in an accident that involves a girl who falls backwards down the stairs at school and, ends up dying. The three girls facing the girl who fell are Tori, her best friend Sarah and, the new girl Alice, who is very strange, very manipulative and, calls herself a princess.
Former BPD Detective Sadie Cross is still dealing with the gaps in her memory of the time she spent undercover in the lair of a drug king in Mexico. As time goes on, Sadie keeps remembering more and more and, somehow, all of these memories are helping her realize that all of these situations are involved and, part of a very intricately intertwined chain of events where all of the pieces are finally coming full circle.
Do not miss this book!!

Gone Too Far is a thrilling story or actually two stories in one great book. Two very serious cases bring back two favorite characters Devlin and Falco can’t be beat as detectives with the Birmingham Police Department. The two cases are both riveting and also bring some new and some old characters into play. Gone Too Far is a rollercoaster ride that will have you holding your breath and holding on to your seat from the first page till the last. Great writing and real suspense. Strong characters who you will fall in love with. You will want to know their stories. This is a great read. Thank you Debra Webb.

So good!! I really enjoyed the first book in the series so was delighted to try the second. This is a much stronger outing for Devlin and Falco. Sure there are some cop clichés, but the characters feel more comfortable and the story works well. I was delighted to find out more about the mysterious Sadie Cross and the dual storylines running through made for a gripping read that kept me hanging on to the end.

this was a great mystery novel, the characters were great and I really enjoyed going on this journey. It was fun to try and solve the mystery.

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Detectives Kerri and Luke need to solve the murder of the district attorney. The more time they spend on the case the more questions they encounter. This book captured my attention from the beginning.

Debra Webb has become one of my must read authors! I enjoyed this book but there were a few things I didn't love. I wished it was longer, the first book in this series was nice and long but this was kind of short. I also felt like the romance between devlin and falco came out of nowhere. I felt like I had missed a book inbetween this one and the first book. It seemed like we jumped into it and I needed more build up. Also didn't love how they threw in her daughter being gay out of nowhere. Could have done without that. but I still really enjoyed the book and will read anything she writes!

When I got Gone Too far, I had been looking forward to continuing with Devlin and Falco after their stint in Trust No One. I definitely enjoyed the continuation in Gone Too Far, even though this was a completely different case than what was in Trust No One. I definitely think there needed to be a little bit of research done by Webb, but the book flowed incredibly well! I would definitely read more of Debra Webb's books!

This is the second book in this new series. Lots of surprising twist and turns in this series that keeps the reader guessing

Debra is a master storyteller! A white knuckle thrill ride! Highly recommended! Romantic suspense at it’s very best!

4.25/5⭐️

The second in the Devlin & Falco police/mystery/thriller series.

This one is similar to the first in that there are two intertwined cases, and one is connected to Devlin. While that seemed a bit too convenient, it did add some extra suspense to the twisty plot. Lots of surprises as in I-didn’t-see-that-coming and overall a good addition to the series and a very satisfying read. Hope there are more in the offing.

Thanks to #NetGalley and #Thomas&Mercer for providing me the ARC. The opinions are strictly my own.

GONE TOO FAR....Debra Webb
Setting Birmingham, Alabama with detectives Devlin and Falco book # 2.
Double homicide, drug cartel, a good flowing plot , and the partnership of the two detective is good and how they work together.
Sadie Cross and more of what happened when she went undercover in Mexico, and her haunting dreams. Well done a good flowing plot to the end. Given arc by Net Galley and Thomas Mercer for my voluntary review and my honest opinion.

Oh My Goodness, Gone Too Far by Debra Webb is one of the best suspense thrillers this year! This is the second in the series for Devlin & Falco and once I started, I could not stop reading until it was the end. I enjoy the dynamics of Detective Kerri Devlin and her partner Detective Luke Falco with the Major Investigations Division in the Birmingham, AL police department. Kerri's daughter Tori is featured in this book and the story is riveting!
I won't post spoilers, but the many elements of this story that manage to intersect and weave together are amazing. Devlin and Falco arrive at the scene of an execution-style homicide and discover the new DDA Asher Walsh has been murdered along with Leo, the owner of an established and exclusive tobacco bar. Before Devlin can really get into her investigation, she is called and asked to come to Tori's school. Kerri arrives at Brighton to find out that Tori is implicated in the malicious accident of a fellow student. Tori is adamant that she did not cause the fall which leaves mean-girl Brendal in critical condition. There is something about Tori's demeanor that concerns Kerri. What information is Tori withholding?
Sadie Cross is a major character in this book. We learn more about her tormented past when she was deep undercover within a drug cartel in Mexico. The fractured dreams, memories, and frightening glimpses of that time in her life haunt her each night. Could the secret chanting, rituals, and drugs explain how she became invisible? It all adds up to explode in a conspiracy of silence and murder that has been going on for several years.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
