Wenn sie weggelaufen wäre (Martina-Monroe-Thrillerserie 2)
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Spannend! Dieses Buch ließ keine Action vermissen. Das Tempo war rasant und mitreißend. Es war unmöglich, es aus der Hand zu legen.

Zurück aus der Pause klärt Privatdetektivin Martina Monroe die Luft mit ihrem Chef bei Drakos Security & Investigations und ist bereit, sich sofort in die ungelösten Fälle des Sheriffbüros von CoCo County zu stürzen.
Als sie die Cold-Case-Akten durchforstet, stößt Martina auf ein Junge Frauen, die alle als Ausreißerinnen abgestempelt wurden – die Ermittlungen der damaligen Polizei waren minimal, die Fälle schnell zu den Akten gelegt. Doch je tiefer Martina in die letzten Tage der Frauen eintaucht, desto schockierender werden ihre Entdeckungen.
Schon bald stoßen Martina und Detective Hirsch nicht nur auf weitere verschwundene Frauen, sondern als ihre wichtigste Zeugin tot aufgefunden wird, beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, um die nächste zu retten.
Ein fesselnder, packender Thriller voller Geheimnisse und Spannung.

The plot line itself was great, but most of the dialogue just didn't feel natural and that's a big contributing factor to a story.

Entertaining enough. Not much of a page turner and not very suspenseful.

Martina Monroe is working with Detective Hirsch from the CoCo County Sheriffs Department looking into cold cases. She begins to notice a pattern of young women with similar stories that were listed by the investigators as runaways. Martina believes there is more to the story and as she begins her research more patterns begin to emerge, and more people become involved.
This is the second book in H.K. Christie’s Martina Monroe series. She throws little pieces from the 1st book but not so much that the reader feels lost from not knowing what happens in book #1. The characters work well together. So many authors jump between characters and different timelines and leave the reader in mass confusion. Christie is able to switch between characters smoothly. Great mystery that keeps you focused and looking for the next clue. I hated to come to end but it left me ready for #3 in the series.
Thank you, H.K. Christie, Keekstar Media and NetGalley for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

This might have been a good book if not, for the horrible narration. And I mean HORRIBLE. Fortunately I checked other audiobooks by this author and they don’t have the same narrator, so maybe I’ll enjoy those more.
February 23, 2023
Well, it really wasn't a thriller and it wasn't suspenseful...I'd call it a story. Dialogue felt wooden, characters seemed one-dimensional, it was hard to get invested in this. I can see where people would enjoy it - it just didn't do it for me.

I thought this series would be more interesting but after book #2 I won’t be finishing the series. Same concepts as book #1, with a different case to solve.

An exciting page turner.
Martina and Detective Hirsch have the go-ahead to start working on solving some of the massive amounts of cold cases in CoCo County. Hirsch tells Martina to go through as many of the boxes as she wants and prioritize the cases she wants to work on. It's while doing that that she finds 3 cases that she thinks are all actually part of the same case...3 blond, blue-eyed young women who all disappeared only months apart 4 years ago. The weird thing was that the police didn't seem to have ever made that connection and put those cases together, shrugging them off as "run aways." As Martina and Hirsch dig deeper, they find more suspicious cases of young blond, blue-eyed women gone missing. Martina is especially angry that someone is targeting these young women, and no one has ever taken the time to do a proper investigation into the disappearances. She vows to find them, whether alive or dead, and bring them home. I've read the first 2 books in this series, and I think I will be reading this whole series before I'm done. I really like Martina. She's a recovering alcoholic, as is her mother. She and her mother have made peace with the past, and her mom is now living with Martina and her daughter, Zoey. Martina is determined, caring, smart, can take care of herself, and is the best at finding missing people. When I sat down to read this book, I hated to put it down because it sucked me right in, and I had to find out what happened. That's the sort of book I love to read. It was interesting enough that I have already downloaded the third book in the series.

A cold case of missing women who were deemed by the police to have run away. DI Hirsch of CoCo County Sheriffs department had enlisted the help of Martina Monroe of Drakos Security and Investigations in the solving of their cold cases. Martina is described as being determined to prove herself as a competent investigator who is also a recovering alcoholic.
This is the second book in the trilogy and snippets from the first are interspersed to both remind the reader and add some background information for new readers.
Martina shows three cold cases could be connected through their coincidences, similarities, and insufficient police evidence. The story describes her painstaking investigations and thought processes such that the reader is immersed. The author manages to switch to the victims without the reader losing continuity. Their stories show their combined support and strength in survival.
A story filled with suspense, fear, survival, hope and action. It is a fast moving read with a strong famine lead and is hard to put down.

Three months. Three missing women. One PI determined to discover the truth.
Back from break, PI Martina Monroe clears the air with her boss at Drakos Security & Investigations and is ready to jump right into solving cold cases for the CoCo County Sheriff’s Department.
Diving into the cold case files Martina stumbles upon a pattern of missing young women, all of whom were deemed runaways, and the files froze with minimal detective work from the original investigators. The more Martina digs into the women’s last days the more shocking discoveries she makes.
Soon, Martina and Detective Hirsch not only uncover additional missing women but when their star witness turns up dead, they must rush to the next before it’s too late.
This is a brilliant read.
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable.
Great suspense and found myself second guessing every thought I had continuously.
Can't wait to read what the author brings out next.
Recommend reading.

PI Martina Monroe is solving cold cases for the County Sheriff's Department.
She chooses cold cases of missing girls, and finds that there is a pattern, and a similarity between the girls that are missing.
The cases were barely investigated and thrown aside as runaway girls. Martina is convinced that the girls were kidnapped.
She works tirelessly with Detective Hirsch to find the fate of these girls in order to give the families closure.
OK, this is what I love. A strong female lead with brains! And I got what I wanted in this book. I could not put it down! I read this in one sitting, and seriously want to read more of H K Christie's books! Absolutely rivetting and would recommend this book to readers who love a fast paced police/PI procedural.
A solid 5/5 from me

Im getting picky with my thrillers and I absolutely hate it when there are inconsistencies in the story or when the plot doesn't add up. But I always know that an HK Christie book is a safe choice.
The characters are endearing, multi-faceted, intelligent, relatable. It all make sense!
The mystery is present till the end even though that author's stories tend to end quite fast.
I love the dynamic between the two main characters: closeness and mutual understanding is displayed without being too much. Its not just there to sell an unrelatable romance so the aunties will buy the book
One point still buggs me after the read (and the fact that there is only one speaks volume about the quality of the book); how did the girls know how long they had been held captive? Without anyone to tell them the date, no news, no calender...
Anyway, its still a great book and I would recommend this serie to anyone who like trillers!

Another very good book by H.K. Christie, in the Martina Monroe's series. It's amazing how there was so much deceit put in place in order to avoid the culprit being taken to justice, and he had a twisted mind, a very twisted mind. Through continuous and relentless digging of information, Martina uncovers layer by layer the lies and lack of information in the old files that may lead to the killer. Her partner, Detective Hirsch, is also of invaluable help, as he is always present to help and to look for details from other sources. Sometimes it is not easy to read the passages where there is hurt and more than a touch of madness, but I kept on reading forward as I had to know what would be the ultimate price paid for so many crimes. Very interesting plot and entertaining!

This is the second book in the series and it was a great read. I love the pairing of these investigators. Can’t wait to read the next book👏🏻
Martina Monroe is a private investigator and recovering alcoholic. She’s recently teamed up with Detective Hirsch from the CoCo County Sheriffs Dept to look into cold cases. The pair just solved a big case together and hope to keep the streak going.
As she goes through old case files, Martina notices there are several cases of missing young women that share the same profile. Are they runaways or could they be the victim of kidnapping The investigation leads to the exposure of questionable police work and a possible coverup. Why would the officers have done this? Are the girls alive?

This is the 2nd in the series about P.I. Investigator, Martina Monroe. She has been asked to join in on cases with her new partner, Hirsch..Being part of the Cold Case unit, Hirsch and Martina are asked to look back on some of the cold cases that were never solved. Since Martina's main job was to find people, she looks at cases where there might be hope the missing persons might be found.
In this one, in going over the boxes of cases, Martina finds some similarities to a miss local girl. The police label it as a runaway, but the missing girls' friends say she wouldn't have. Looking into anything related, she finds at least 3 missing girls that were labeled as "runaways" that all had the same appearance and details alike in the case.
These just keep getting better and I enjoyed this one!

She confides in Detective Hirsch and the wonder why the former officers didn’t see the pattern. So they start an investigation and discover additional women were taken over the years. The witnesses they need to talk to are getting killed or attacked. Now they realize they have to work quick to find out what’s going on and try to rescue the missing girls.

Martina, a dedicated investigator, and Detective Hirsch are assigned to tackle cold cases in CoCo County. While sifting through files, Martina uncovers three interconnected cases of young blond, blue-eyed women who went missing under similar circumstances just months apart four years ago. Frustrated by the authorities' lack of action, she is determined to find the missing women and provide closure to their families.
Having followed earlier installments, I've grown attached to Martina, a recovering alcoholic who has reconciled her past while supporting her daughter, Zoey, and her mother. Her sharp intellect and determination make her invaluable to the investigation, drawing readers into the gripping narrative as they uncover the mystery alongside her.

This is the second book is the Martina Monroe series and I love Martina & Hirsch and the entire story line. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next one! Martina is a private investigator teamed up with Hirsch a PD sheriff in the county of CoCo, and they make an amazing team. The book is told from both of their POV’s in an every other chapter format. You get a peak into both of their backgrounds & family lives while they tell the tale of the story. In this one they’re trying to figure out who has captured & possibly murdered a group of young lookalike wannabe actresses and how they’re connected to the sheriffs office. The story moves alone and lays out little seeds as it comes to a wrap up and perfect end.

Martina Monroe is assigned to help the Co-Co County Sheriff's department solve cold cases. he starts with a case of a missing person. As she connects the dots, she realizes that there i more than one missing person. I love stories with strong female leads and this one has it all and more. A story filled with fear, suspense, survival, and hope. If you enjoy stories with strong female leads, this is a book for you...highly recommend. I received an advance copy of this book and this is my honest review.

This is the second book in a spin-off of another of this authors series. This was a great book with an engaging storyline and a mystery that was well plotted and current to our society. The characters are multifaceted with the same flaws and strengths that you see in the people you meet daily. The protagonist is a tough battle worn woman with a soft heart when it comes to children and the families of abductees and the victims themselves. Martina is fast becoming one of my favorite characters!
October 1, 2022
This is the second Martina Monroe book I've read. I enjoy the stories although I find them superficial. I'm glad Book 2 gave Martina's daughter a lesser role--she was just TOO precocious in Book 1. "If She Ran" was one of those "ripped from the headlines" books with the plot already written. A few tweaks and a vagueness of the "master's" atrocities made it easier to read. The ending was a bit too speedy and the book seemed unfinished. I'll probably continue to read books in this series; they are entertaining and easy to read. I hope they get a little depth.

Immersion was all encompassing; the suspense was positively SENSATIONAL!!
Fabu-licious read! What a thrilling rollercoaster of fast page turner. Hot darn, couldn't put the book down for the life of me. Simply loved all characters each were cohesive to chase down the psychopath unsub. The plot was excellently written capturing amazing life changes and emotional truly personal. I'd like to give an AMAZING "shout-out" to H. K. Christie for a well written thriller and very HUMANIZING drama. Thank you! Pottsville, PA_THU; 01052023.

Excellent
If She Ran is a complex and compelling storyline! The material in the book is dark, reprehensible and disgusting! Multiple triggers are used, but the horrific nature of the abuse is restrained and somewhat subtle!
Martina Monroe and Detective Hirsch work together impeccably throughout the book! They are a great team and work the cases diligently! This thriller has lots of slowly developing clues, threads and conjecture! Certainly an intense and pageturning experience!

Great Series! Love the characters and the story lines of the series. The story is all about the police procedure. The characters have their lives but the main part is the main part, the murders and mayhem. Love it all, fast paced. I never wonder when this will be over or never think “let’s get on with it” as i do with some books.
Girls were disappearing - 3 of them in a short time 4 years ago. Maggie is working with Hirsch on Cold cases. She decides to work on a missing girl and finds several others also in the files that turn out to be very similar.

Martina is hired to work with the police to solve cold cases. She finds a case file for a missing girl that is labeled a runaway and written off. She gets the okay from her partner in the police department when she finds several more very similar “ runaways “. This was hard to put down but I managed to finish it in the wee hours of the morning. I love the unexpected turns and the satisfying resolution. This is my honest review in exchange for an Arc copy.

Martina Monroe is seconded to CoCo County cold case unit with Detective Hirsch and spots a series of missing girls who are too similar to be a coincidence. This sets in motion an investigation which treads on a few toes amongst the old school cops but these things have to be done if justice is to be served. A compelling read with a semi happy ending and plenty of background investigation to keep it rolling along.
January 14, 2024
I enjoyed this book. It kept me up late at night to finish it. I just knew that Martina would find the missing young women, but wasn't sure how many would still be alive. When her best friend's daughter is captured by the monster, it really hooked me and added super stressors to the story. I'm wondering if in future books that a little romantic spark might flare between Martina and her partner.
Onward to the next novel!
Onward to the next novel!

How did the missing girl cases not get connected?
PI Martina Monroe was transferred to the sheriffs department to help with cold cases. After sorting 3 boxes she started reviewing the files. Almost immediately she found that three girls disappeared in the same year and each a month apart. How did someone not notice this?
We are led on an adventure that leads to the killer. Could not put the book down.
