Let Her Hope

Fiona Red #3

by Blake Pierce

A new serial killer leaves a trail of victims killed by an extremely rare bug, and only brilliant FBI forensic examiner and entomologist Fiona Red stands a chance at tracing its origins. In her lab lies the key to stopping him before he strikes again. But can she solve it fast enough?

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.

Really enjoying series.

Another Great Read

This is book 3 and it did not disappoint. The killer and the murders were very mysterious and left me wanting to read more and more. I really enjoy the main characters. Pierce does a great job at revealing just enough of the story to keep it interesting and keep me guessing.

4.75 ⭐️
This series just keeps getting better. I really love how they are exploring so many different types of serial killers. It's very much giving Bones mets Criminal Minds. I'm not gonna lie, I'm happy Laurent isn't around she was a pain. I also love the kinda slow burn that's happened with Jake and Red.

Overall I like the characters. These books are a very quick read. I don’t think I’ll read anymore however. Fiona (the lab examiner) seems to be the only one that has ideas of who to investigate. Jake doesn’t seem to have any ideas even though he is the FBI agent. I wish it was more of a joint effort. It would be more realistic

2.5 These newer series do not seem written by the same person who wrote The Making of Riley Paige. There are a lot less typos and grammatical errors, but the dialog doesn't seem realistic. The main characters in Blake Pierce's books are normally damaged in some way, but all of the main players are in this series. It's too much.

creepy story

Well it was a difficult story for me. Too many insects and phobias in this story. But once again it was a thrilling ride.

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one is a bit better, it's a quick read. I don't know if I will go any further though.

Good one

This was my favorite so far of the series. Fiona is really getting better and better, and will make a super FBI agent. On to the next one.

I really do enjoy this series

[Jaslyn Reinsel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Each book reminds me of an episode of Criminal Minds - you could read it as a standalone because of each individual case but there’s an underlying story you might miss parts of.

[Erin Bronkar · Rating 2 out of 5]

I see so many high ratings on this series of books but I just feel like they are written by a teenager. I think, after three tries, I’m done.
