I can't believe it's book 12 already! I love this series and this book didn't disappoint. I had a few suspicions on who I thought the killer might be ( I actually got it right!). I had to read this in one sitting since whenever I thought about putting it down... something happened to keep me reading. You probably don't need to read the entire series to enjoy this book, but in my opinion, it's a great series. I'm hoping for book 13.

Gone in the Storm (Detective Casey White Book 12) by B.R. Spangler is a great addition to the Casey White series.

I've read most of the books in this series, and Gone in the Storm is like coming home to old friends. The characters are interesting, well-rounded, and well-developed. The storyline was engaging and held my interest. I kind of had the culprit figured out, but it did not take away from the suspension and tense moments and scenes.

There were definitely sad parts about what happened to the victims and an innocent person being accused and what happened to him. The story had me hooked. I really enjoyed this author's writing style; it's engaging, does not include unnecessary "fluff," and keeps me turning the pages.

I am looking forward to seeing more of this series and to seeing what happens with the characters. I would recommend this book and would recommend starting this series from book 1 to get to know the characters.

Gone in the Storm is a good read in the authors Casey White series. It certainly hits the ground running with a great start and I was drawn into the story quickly. A teenage girl is found murdered and Casey and her team investigate with very few leads to follow. The authors writing is engaging and the story flows easily. The plot line is good although I did guess correctly who the killer was early on. Casey is under pressure to close the investigation and has misgivings that prove to be right. I did enjoy this read but it didn't wow me. There are a lot of different threads here that give the story more depth but in my opinion take the focus off the investigation. I feel the story started off well, then lost pace where the investigation slowed and the last quarter of the story is a fast paced and riveting read. So .... overall a good read that I'd recommend and I'm looking forward to the next book to see what B.R. Spangler has in store for Casey.

3.5 stars

Another series that I'm currently caught up in which makes me happy as well as looking forward to the next book . I still can't believe we're on book 12, when it seems like just the other day I discovered this author as well as his series . There's so much I love about it that I can't seem to put it into words as to why from enjoying the storyline to the characters themselves .

A teenage girl is found nude, assaulted and murdered. There are objects placed near her.
Casey White is called out to investigate.

I have read several of the Detective Casey White series, and have enjoyed them all.
This one has a tinge of sadness in it. Casey's life seems to be in turmoil at home, and also at work.
I don't want to give out any spoilers, the reader will have to read the book to find out what I am talking about.
The investigation seems to stutter, as there are very few clues, but someone from Casey's past gives her some pointers on where to look, and who to look for.

For a change, I did manage to predict the murderer before the end - probably a first for a B R Spangler thriller, for me!

Very enjoyable, very unputdownable, and extremely suspenseful. Perfect combination for a crime thriller.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the DRC.

Casey White is back. This innovative author has written a cannot put down novel. Realistic characters keep the story moving quickly. I look forward to more of this series. Secrets and red herrings keep the reader guessing. The title is intriguing. Who is gone? What is gone? Where did they go? Questions to reflect upon as one reads this book by Spangler. Enjoy. Thanks Netgalley.

Getting in his car was a mistake. But as the frigid air whipped through her thin coat, she felt too cold to say no. Now, snowflakes settle on her long dark lashes. Ice cold and forever fifteen years old, she’ll never see her mother’s smile again… Wow I love love loved it!! Great read! It had fantastic suspense, gruesome murders, great mystery, intriguing, action, fabulous characters, a great who done it and some wild twists and turns! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I enjoy catching up with Casey, Jericho and the rest of the crew. This time someone is murdering high school students. My only complaint about this book is I knew right away who was doing the killings. I’m still anxious for the next book to see what happens with their family and the Doctor. I highly recommend this book and series if you like murder mystery and some family interaction also.
