Blake Larsen #4
No Loose End
Murders don’t repeat themselves. But they do rhyme.
Blake Larsen knows pain and trauma more than most cops. Her own parents died in a brutal murder-suicide when she was just a teen. She’s spent her entire life believing her father was a senseless murderer.
One week ago, her elderly neighbors were found slaughtered. The scene was staged to look exactly the same as the night two decades ago that stole Blake’s future from her. And she doesn’t believe in coincidence.
As Blake dives into the case, every clue seems to lead back to her own haunted history. Her reputation in town is thrown into the gutter, and violence knocks on her front door. Any normal person would give up.
But Blake doesn’t have that choice. A killer is coming for her. She needs to find them first.

Now the ending. WOW. I wasn’t sure who really did it all those years ago. But honestly why did he have to poke the bear. He definitely could have gotten away with it if he would have let it go. But like all dumbasses he had to try and show how smart he was. And she got him!!

Frustratingly Full of Errors
There are so many small errors that add up to giant disappointment. It wasn't just small errors, but name errors during important scenes. Confusion ruins the build up of tension. There was an error over why Blake was feeling fuzzy. It reads as if there was a different plan at first, but it had been changed and the words from the first plan just were changed in one sentence. It is hard to stay in the action when you are asking yourself what narcotics?! Also, there was a glaring omission in the ending that left it unsatisfying. Don't make a point about a person's profession being what snaps her into gear and could be what saves a person and then never say what happened to that person. So frustrating!!

Blake becomes a loose canon
Spoiler : Blake rushes into save people x4 in the short space of one book.
Most interesting is the independent journalist and his pursuit of sensational headlines to attract online readers. Most distressing is the psychopath, serial killer. Does his brother survive?

True Page Turner
Slater hits this one clear out of the park. This is an expertly constructed mystery with nonstop action and solid dialogue. Small quibble - the Ryan character is generic and underutilized. If he was special forces why is he on the sidelines? Blake is the star and she keeps tugging at threads until she solves it.

Gone for now but not forgotten
Closure! For Blake and Amy and so many others. Story was taut and had me guessing til the end. If you like cop stories with an excellent ending this is one that makes you go great read.
Enjoy!

good series
Good quick 4 book series. From corrupt ex-soldiers and cops, to an unstable son, to a corrupt rehab and ending with how Blake story started. There were side storylines that lead to nowhere, that was a little annoying. But it was a good ending to the series

Disappointed
Not up to Sister's standards. Blake Larsen makes the same judgement mistakes through the 4 book series. I guess that I was spoiled by the Jason Trap series which is outstanding.

No Loose End
This seems to be a great ending for this series. It was very interesting and full of action. Certainly didn’t have a clue who the bad guy was till the very end.

Great wrap up
Fast easy paced writing. Gripping story lines, that has you guessing. Blake is a great character. Reminds me a little of Will Trent. Same vibe. Didn’t disappoint

Interesting how the storyline went back and forth with who the actual murderer was. Blake and Ryan made good team and add in Melissa and they finally figured it ou

Best of the series
Really enjoyed No Loose End. Blake is a character I won’t soon forget. Slater developed the story line well and stayed true to his cast of characters.

Mystery
Jack Slater’s books keep my attention until the end. Great story line, not overly stacked with too many characters. I will continue with the series.

Great author. Great storyline. Great narrator (Brittany is the best). What more could you want?!

I cannot remember another title's book so descriptive as this "No Loose End".
This is the fourth and last book in Blake Larsen's series; Jack Slater confirmed that in the "author's notes" at the end of the book explaining we should not expect another Blake's book.
From the first book in the series, death of Blake's parents is brought behind the scene with little pills of "somebody" related to that death closing to Balke in the second and third book.
This is finly the main plot in the ourth book and it didn't deceived me keeping my attention fully into the book.
On one hand I feel pitty Blake's novels are over but, on the other hand, as no loose ends remains there, I've had a frash full closure for this series I really enjoyed it a lot.
