Blake is not one to make wait, Sonny getting his issues resolved. Now they are making her take another case, in Chicago,which if you know that area they got issue.
Astra and crew are doing great, especially wacko everywhere.
Blake has a full plate, that Senator Hedlund doesn't have any idea of who she messing with.
One thing that if your a Blake follower, you don't mess with her family.

Another book that had to be read in a day!
It is really nice to pick up a book and find all the usual suspects like Blake and Astra and Rick and Nina and Paige and I'm sure there's others but I enjoyed having A New agent from Chicago join them. She did an excellent job. It really was a book that had to be read in a day because I couldn't put it down. The action goes on throughout the book and watching them get there suspect is always riveting. I'm looking forward to the next book coming out and I hope it is soon. I really recommend that you follow this author. There's other books that are written that are just as good by Elle Gray. I don't think you will be disappointed.

First off, Blake finds Sonny bleeding out in her kitchen and as she is waiting for him to come out of surgery, DD Church shows up and gives her a new case, there is someone recreating famous murders in Chicago. She has to go, but wants to stay. Reluctantly she goes and finds a mess, it takes some time, but she finds the killer and the she comes home and gets a phone call from Fish. He has found the man who attacked Sonny, and that leads to a whole other mess. I can't wait to read the next book.

Brilliant
Another great read. I love the characters in this series, it feels like you personaly know them. Blake and her sidekick Astra definitely keeps you entertained. The team has grown since the beginning but in a good way and they all work together great. I'm glad Blake has found happiness with Sonny she deserves it. I would love to meet fish if he were a real person. I had no idea who the killer was in this story so was really surprised at the end. Another brilliant chapter in Blake's life can't wait to read the next one, keep them coming Elle. Great mixture of intrique, professional duty, murder and love. Amazing

Blake Wilder -True Crime
Once again, you consistently & continously create "TheRealPerson" we ALL can relate too. Blake goes exponentially with each other as driven, the will to deliver Justice & ALL the qualities, which hopefully, are those in "Helps" professions while dealing with human-ness. RWELLY looking 4ward to the next outing. As usual, with ALL your characters, you leave us with what our part in improving how & where we live, whether big or small....it takes ALL of us doing what we should.

A Serial Killer copycat is loose!
A serial killer copycat is on the loose in Chicago. Blake Wilder and her team are called in to help find this killer. He is copying other serial killers from the past.
He has already killed several people and the police still do not have any clues. Blake is already under stress due to her boyfriend almost being killed in her apartment. Blake and her team arrive in Chicago to investigate his latest murder.
Little does Blake know that she will also have more than the murders to investigate. This is another page turner by Elle Gray.

gripping and satisfying
The 31st installment of the Blake Wilder series does double duty delivering a satisfying case for her FBI team and also some progress in the overarching mystery of a person who is plotting severe emotional harm to Blake. I can’t get enough of this series. If you haven’t read this series before - start at the beginning and savor the slow build of the developing characters in her life.

Unputdownable
I've probably said this 31 times, but this series is so compelling that you won't want to stop reading and you can't wait for the next one. Blake Wilder is one of my favorite characters. She's tough, smart and moral. Putting the latter on the line may be the end of her. Book 32 cannot come soon enough.
Thank you Ms. Gray for this amazing use of your talent.

Elle Gray is Amazing
I Love the Blake Wilder Series and each time I start one, I can hardly put it down especially at night. I have sat up reading this book until I fall asleep with my head slumped over like a drunk. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Wow! Just, WOW!
As always, I'm amazed at the progression of these stories! Such strong characters, but very vulnerable as well. The plots are brilliant, suspenseful and entertaining. Well done! More, please!

Intense
Really a great read! I so enjoy this series. These books are exciting and engaging. I have to admit I get tired of following Blake through so many battles and yet I can't stop.

As always Elle Gray never disappoints. True Crime is a page turner, with nonstop action. It keeps you guessing. But the cliff hanger at the end leaves you wanting more!! I can not wait for the next one to come out!! Thank you!!.

Yikes!
I love this series and it is getting really stressful. I feel bad for Blake having to make some really tough decisions. I think her life is about to really change now.
