There is Edith who used to be a store detective. She is now in her eighties and was tricked inShocking twists!
The story revolves around several women.
There is Edith who used to be a store detective. She is now in her eighties and was tricked into signing a power of attorney, placed in a care home and her dog was taken away from her and sent to a rescue.
Edith's daughter is Clio. She is a therapist who likes to help people but is unable to help herself. She lives in her pink house alone with the memories of happier times.
Frankie is the prison librarian. She has a secret. Frankie did a bad thing but for a good reason. Frankie suffers from anxiety and the only thing that helps her is counting.
Patience works at the senior care center where she does housekeeping. She befriends Edith and saves her dog. However, she is hiding who she really is.
Then a murder happens.
"Three suspects, two murders, and one victim."
DCI Chapman is called in to process the scene. She believes Clio, Patience, or Frankie are involved and all she has to do now is prove it.
The novel has several POVs and past and present chapters. The story flows and the characters are all very original and interesting. The last few twists were freaking amazing and the narration by Katherine Press and Stephanie Racine was superb! A sure winner for me.
I wouldn't mind seeing DCI Chapman in another novel and please keep the strand of pink hair!

I have made no secret that Will is one of my favorite male characters with his 6'3" height, lean body, A new Will Trent book is always a treat for me.
I have made no secret that Will is one of my favorite male characters with his 6'3" height, lean body, three-piece suits, dyslexia, and as the proud owner of Betty (his Chihuahua dog).
What is not to like?
Now back to what the novel is about....
After That Night brings more heartache for Sara Linton. If you follow this series, you know that Sara is currently Will's fiancee and that about 15 years ago, she was raped at Grady's while she was a resident. This event changed her future. Instead of becoming a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon, she moved back home and joined the local pediatrician.
A few years back, she moved back to Atlanta after another shocking event in her life, and during one of her ER shifts, she tried to save the life of a young woman, Dani Cooper, who had been brutally attacked. Before dying, Dani whispered that she was raped. Only Sara heard her. At present, Sara is testifying about the case fulfilling the promise she made to Dani and herself that she was going to do anything to make the man who attacked her pay.
To her surprise, the attacker's mother tells Sara that her rape and the attack on Dani are all linked!
"Don't you remember the mixer?"
This statement will shock her to her core and will make Will and his partner Faith Mitchell, start their own investigation into the matter before presenting the case to Amanda, their boss.
A lot of intrigue in this one as well as women's violence although not as graphic as other books I read by her.
I liked how solid Will and Sara have become as a couple. Also, how Will has learned how to engage with Faith. He knows when she needs time or when he needs to press for her to open up.
Was I shocked by the ending? Nope, not at all. The clues were all there.
I can't wait for the next book. Probably a murder during Sara and Will's wedding. One can only hope...
If you have read the first 3 books, you know Atlee is an FBI agent. She is also a great fighter and anThis is the conclusion to the Atlee Pine series.
If you have read the first 3 books, you know Atlee is an FBI agent. She is also a great fighter and an even better weightlifter. At the age of six, someone came into her room and kidnapped her twin sister Mercy and hurt Atlee badly enough that she ended up in the hospital for a while.
Clues discovered during the prior books have led Atlee and her friend Carol Blum to believe that Mercy might be alive and that she was able to escape her captors.
Atlee knows she needs to find out the truth and she hopes her sister is alive and she can get to her before it's too late.
Mercy was a great way to end the series. Baldacci has created great female characters in this last installment. The novel was action-filled and the suspense continued to increase all the way to the end.
I'm sad this is the end of the road for Atlee. I wouldn't mind reading more books about her solving cases.
Atlee Pine and her assistant Carol Blum are on the trail for answers. Atlee wants to know what happened to her sister A great addition to the series!!
Atlee Pine and her assistant Carol Blum are on the trail for answers. Atlee wants to know what happened to her sister Mercy who was abducted from their bed when she was six.
Her latest clue takes her to New Jersey and a man named Ito Vincenzo who seems to be the person who kidnapped her. No one knows where Ito is but she trails his grandson and when she tries to ask questions, he runs away. Unbeknownst to Atlee, she was interfering with a military bust by nonother than John Puller, military CID.
Feeling intrigued about where John Puller's case was taking them, she decides to stay and help with the investigation, hoping to find more clues about Mercy in the process.
Baldacci can make you root for his characters every single time. Atlee has become a quick favorite. A good FBI agent which for the most part uses her intellect but is not scared to use her strength to catch a bad guy.
I haven't read the John Puller series but my husband is a fan and he was excited to see the crossover of worlds.
By the end, we have more shocking discoveries and more clues into Mercy's fate. I can't wait to start the next one.
I didn't read the first in the series and now I know I want to go back and do it despite the spoilers.
Every Missing Girl starts with aShocking ending!
I didn't read the first in the series and now I know I want to go back and do it despite the spoilers.
Every Missing Girl starts with a good thing happening. At a gas station, a kidnapped teenager is found alive and the kidnapper is dead. The bad part is that the store's cashier is murdered too.
FBI Special Agent Kendall Beck is called to the crime because her job is to find missing children. Denver Homicide Detective Adam Taylor is there because of the double murder and he needs to figure out what happened before a good samaritan killed the kidnapper.
Kendall and Adam had worked together before and they have a good rapport. Then while they are both at Adam's niece's hockey game, the unthinkable happens: Frankie is taken.
Adam and Kendall embarked on a mission to recuperate Frankie from whoever has her.
I figured out early on what was happening but it didn't diminish my interest at all. Both Adam and Kendall are great characters that I want to see again working together to solve a crime.
The narrator Erin DeWard did a great job keeping the action moving.
