Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

When the director of the FBI receives a cryptic video, from Toro a contact killer, agent Dani Vega is called in. Vega knew Toro from an undercover case and was there when he died. Toro promises evidence of all his clients but first the team have to solve his clues.

I really enjoy the puzzle aspect of this book series. I always try to solve them, but my mind does not work like Vega’s. She is a strong willed character who feels like she would be a great role model in real life. I enjoy how these books are written where we see the thought process of the whole team, the inter agency cooperation, family life as well as the military aspect. It gives the characters really full backgrounds. This story was exciting, addictive and hard to put down. It shocked me at times, and I had big intakes of breath as I tried to process everything happening at once. This pace really built the suspense. Absolutely brilliant, a gem of a book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review "A Killer's Code", the latest in the Agent Daniela 'Dani' Vega series by Isabella Maldonado. After the explosive ending of the previous book, I was prepared for another novel of suspense and action - and that's exactly what I got!
In the previous book Dani was forced to work closely with contract killer Gustavo Toro; now, after the hit man's death, Dani and her team set out on a quest to retrieve Toro's 'treasure'. And what a quest it is.
Thanks to information left after his death, the FBI need to locate a woman who's been missing for 5 years, someone who holds the key to what this treasure might be. But it won't be easy, as lead after lead end up dead! The person or company that had 'handled' Toro for all of those years is determined to get to the missing woman - a scientist with a potentially life-changing secret - before the Agents do. And it doesn't help that there is active interference from within the FBI ranks.
Throughout the entire case, Agent Vega will have to draw not only on her skills as a cryptanalyst (code breaker), but also her extensive military and FBI training, while protecting all the members of her team - including her boss.
Highly recommended. Works equally well as a standalone or as the next book in the series read.

Thank you for NetGalley and Isabella Maldonado for this ARC in exchange my honest review.

"A Killer's Code" is a gripping and meticulously crafted thriller that had me hooked from the very first page. I love this series. As an avid reader of crime fiction, I was thoroughly impressed by the depth of the characters and the intricate, fast-paced plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. Maldonado's masterful storytelling and attention to detail truly brought this world to life, making it easy to lose myself in the high-stakes investigation. I greatly appreciated the diverse perspectives and the complex moral dilemmas the protagonist navigated. "A Killer's Code" is a must-read for anyone who loves intelligent, suspenseful crime novels. I can't wait to see what Maldonado writes next. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well-written, suspenseful crime novel.

WOWZA!

This author is an absolute beast at writing strong, fierce bada$$ female heroines. This book was so fast I got whiplash. And man I love Dani. She is so smart, calculating and I could not put the book down. Now I am going have one heck of a book hangover.

She excels at complicated book plots. I did not think I could love a character more than Nina Guerrera but man Dani Vega is right there. I’m sad that the series is done but I would love a Nina and Dani book!

But I know whatever is next for this author it will be epic because she is now one of my go to authors.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC to this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is book 3 in the Daniela Vega story. After the previous book brought some closure to Daniela's family's story, I wondered where this story would go. I didn't have to worry as this was another non-stop action thriller. As the book closed, we now see where this story is going next, and I cannot wait to read the next book. I highly recommend this book but would recommend reading the books in order. I rated this 5-stars as this was a one sitting read for me. Bravo!
