Let Her Wish

Fiona Red #4

by Blake Pierce

Something is very off with a killer’s new crime scenes, the arrangement of bodies making no sense. The FBI turns to its brilliant forensic examiner and entomologist Fiona Red, but even she is stumped. As Fiona digs deeper, she are they walking right into a killer’s trap?

Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having run a funeral parlor, and she would have run the family business if not for a tragedy in her her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.

Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.

With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.

But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.

A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

Formulaic & Tired

This is so repetitive that it is sad. Every description of a dilapidated old house is regurgitated. The characters are so predictable!
This is either being churned out on a tired word processor or a lame Ai program.
Too bad, I used to really like Blake Pierce before she turned to factory made fiction!

First, I also thought it was very weird that the reader of the audiobook has a British accent, when the 2 main characters are apparently American. They both work for the FBI--this is my first Blake Pierce book so I kept expecting to hear that they were formerly detectives in the UK. Crazy.
Second, it was SO frustrating that Fiona is such a WUSS! This is an FBI agent in training??? Never in a million years would this personality type be allowed anywhere near an FBI field case. Those people are hard-core. She is so incredibly naive that she doesn't even know the basics of appropriate dating behavior, or recognize a potential abuser when she is dating one--who wants to control her life after "a week of dating". And she feels too "guilty" to tell him the truth. Even the reader has a tremble in her voice when she is voicing many of Fiona's conversations. I've never previously written a book review online but this audiobook made me so angry (because it was so insulting to women professionals) that I felt compelled to this time.

Let Her Wish - a review by Rosemary Kenny.

What a mortician finds in his mortuary shocks him enough to call in the FBI, and rookie FBI Agent and trained mortician, Fiona and her partner Jake Tucker must follow a trail of corpses old and new, trying to join the dots linking all of them. Will impulsive, somewhat naive Fiona rush headlong into danger, where the more experienced Jake would judge a situation more measuredly?

The 4th Fiona Red thriller by Blake Pierce, Let Her Wish, will keep you chewing your nails to the quick with tension, as the list of suspects keeps them second-guessing - while the body-count rises again and again.

The audio book is SO BAD. Also, apparently, there's no editor. Every other sentence contains the word "leaned," which the narrator pronounced "leant". Jake leant forward. Fiona leant back in the chair. Victor leant forward. And so forth. I don't have a Kindle copy or I'd count how many times "leant" is used. It's a lot.

Then there's "a-gain". Over and over. A-gain, a-gain. Also, the narrator reads this murder mystery like a fairytale. It's so bad that I can't focus on the story - which isn't that fabulous, anyway.

Now that Jake's girlfriend is finally gone, Fiona now has an overbearing boyfriend. The whole book is very frustrating.

PS - it seems Blake Pierce is a writers collective, not one person. I've enjoyed some books, but some are definitely less successful.

Ok, out of the four of them that I have read so far, this one is my favorite. I don't have to worry about Lauren, the nagging partner, but then there is Mark, who I think is worse. I like seeing Red and Jake working more fluently. Also, nothing makes me happier than when the two main characters realize their feelings. THE TROPES. SHE FELL FIRST BUT HE FELL HARDER. I MEAN COME ON PEOPLE. And that ending. I need to know the name. I NEED THE NEXT BOOK.

This one was so slow and took forever to get through. This series is similar to law and order, but law and order is better. The only thing keeping me interested is the back story of the FBI agents, but the author only gives you a little sliver in each book.

Why does Jake have to hook up with all this partners?? I’m not keen on where this is going

[Rimona Seay · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing

It’s always a good book. The writing and suspense are unbelievable. You feel the pain and sorrow of each character and want to find out who’s the killer.

Thrilling

Fast paced and I had to read it into the night. Fiona and Jake, a perfect match in every way to solve crimes. I love the energy of the storytelling.

[Jaslyn Reinsel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’m reading each of these one right after the other because I really like the story lines, but I’m seriously questioning if anyone proofread these books…
