Detective Katie Scott is still struggling to move past the disappearance of her fiancé, Chad, who vanished from the cabin where they were enjoying some time away. When her uncle, the Sheriff, pulls her into an murder investigation, she is forced to think of something other than searching for Chad. As another murder happens, Katie realizes that there could be a connection between the murderer and a convicted killer in prison. Is it a copycat killer or was the man in jail only one piece of the previous murders? He seems to enjoy playing psychological games with Katie, including mentions of Chad's disappearance. The plot is exciting as it follows the separate yet intersecting cases. I want to know what happens to Chad and can't wait for the next book.

Detective Katie Scott's fiance, Chad disappears from beside her in bed and she has followed every lead, but now the case is cold.

She returns to work when a woman's body is found in a clearing on Lookout Ridge with her eyes missing, and soon there is another body, and the locations of the corpses bring to mind a serial killer who is in prison.

Katie and her team have to find the killer before more women die. Katie visits the serial killer in prison and he has a parting remark for her which convinces her to believe that Chad's disappearance and the murders are linked.
The killer always seems to be one step ahead of the police, it's almost as if he is somehow getting information about the investigation.

A fast paced police procedural with lots of action, and twists and turns and false leads.
I did enjoy this very much, but the fact that Katie's trained dog did not bark or somehow warn her that there was someone outside did not sit well with me.
Another thing that left me quite gobsmacked was the reason the killer gave when he confessed as to why he killed so brutally.

Other than that, it was a good book. I can't give it the 4 stars that I intended to.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Explosive from start to finish! Literally!

Jennifer will have you racing through the pages from the first heart pounding, shock opening in book 10 of the Detective Katie Scott Series.

A serial killer is moving at a fast pace, taunting Katie and Gav. The crimes are too similar to those of a convicted serial killer which has them scrambling to determine is this a copycat or was the wrong man convicted of the earlier crimes and what links the man in prison to the current killer?

The killer always a step ahead, choreographing where the detectives will go next, I found myself suspicious of everyone, even those in Katies life when an old partner and K9 trainer Evan returns to her life.

Katie and Chad through each book I have kept wondering what is next for them, will they last? Will something happen with her and John and then enter a new player in Evan in this book.

Not so much a spoiler but a warning, this book does not tie up with a neat bow with all questions answered, and I'm trying to work out how long til book 11 and will it bring, happiness or heartache for Katie.

This series is getting better and better. 5 ⭐
Katie Scott's fiancee is missing.
Meet Katie, a sad woman, something has happened in her life and she's enclosed herself in that small bubble of her life. She keeps herself to herself and she's living with Cisco, her dog.
But when she gets a push she decides to be back to work and now she's working with Guv to catch a dangerous killer.
I started reading her books from Sleeping Girls and seriously this series is getting better and better.
My favourite characters ;- The killer and Cisco.
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me an advance copy.

This series is a must read for me and this book didn't disappoint. I'm invested in the lives of the main characters so at times found this one sad, but the plot sped along so I didn't realise how long I'd been reading for ( until I reached the end). The characters are believable and the twists helped hide the culprit. To me, it felt like it ended on a cliffhanger, so I'm now desperately waiting for the next book in the series!

Sometimes when something painful happens, you just want to lock yourself in to your little bubble, shutting everybody else out. Well; Katie is the same. She pretends to be fine, when she clearly is not, but she wants to be on her own (with Cisco of course :) ) and forget about everything but her sadness and her determination to find clues.

With a (little) push from someone close to her, she realises she needs her work and work needs her more than ever to catch a killer and stop him in his tracks. 

Katie hopes that, with solving the murder case, will give her back what was taken from her so brutally...

I love how well Katie and Gav work together. Katie is the more impulsive one, sometimes wanting to act (or actually going for it) without thinking everything through. And then there is Gav, her perfect counterweight, reigning her in or at least trying to. :)

My favorite character? That has to be Cisco, but being a dog lover, every book with a dog makes them my favorite characters. :)

The author knows how to keep the suspense building, that's for sure. I cannot wait for book 11. Wonderful story as part of a wonderful series. 5 stars

Thank you

Great book and series! This book had a bit of everything! It had suspense, intrigue, action packed, murder, serial killer, great who done it and great police work, great canine work too! The storyline was very interesting and had me glued to my Kindle! There was a little bit of a cliffhanger but most things were answered! I can't wait for more! I highly recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Definitely don't miss out on this book and series! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Katie Scott’s fiancé is missing. This series is a favorite by a talented author. This was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher and the author. Realistic characters keep the story moving quickly. Red herrings kept me guessing. This author has written a page turner.

3.5

There’s no doubt that this was fast paced. But honestly I didn’t love a certain aspect of the storyline and as I suspected it didn’t get solved which really didn’t work for me.

I have never been a big fan of that part of the series because for me it did not flow but to shift and do this just left me feeling jilted.

The story was fast and twisty but for some reason the rest really left a bitter taste in my mouth. I’ll be reading the next to see where she takes it but I have a feeling.

I really enjoy this series of books and was excited to read this latest one. It did not disappoint, had my gripped till the end, cannot wait for the next one! Definitely worth reading
