Editorial Review:
“When police in Omaha, Nebraska, find themselves looking for a serial killer, FBI Agent Jade Monroe and her partner, J.T., are assigned to help with the case. Viciously attacked bodies, most of them female, keep turning up at homes listed with Scenic View Realty, and the agents can’t figure out why. Sutter’s terrific plotting will keep readers guessing whether the quick-witted killer will ever be found. Her pacing has never been better, and those who enjoy a chilling and clever thriller will savor this one.” Angela M., Line Editor, Red Adept Editing
Omaha’s finest are baffled and the city is on edge following a rash of brutal murders of women, all killed in similar fashion. Local law enforcement believes a misogynistic killer is in their midst.
With little to go on, the central police department requests assistance from the Serial Crimes Unit of the FBI. Agents Jade Monroe and J.T. Harper are tasked to fly to Omaha and lend a hand.
Without any leads, the investigation stalls until a chance meeting between Jade and a stranger with memorable blue eyes turns the entire case on its ear. With the killer quickly losing patience, the investigation takes a turn for the worse. Not only are more of the city’s ladies being targeted, but now Jade Monroe is on the killer’s radar too.

4 Stars. Another solid Jade Monroe mystery. This was the series finale. Not sure where Sutter will take her next. If you like police procedurals, these books are reliable and fun.

A GREAT SERIES
I have just finished the last of the 10 books in the Jade Monroe series and I must tell you I am truly going to miss her and JT and all the wonderful characters in these books. I can't wait for the new series to begin. Hopefully it will be as great as this one has been. You must read this series or you won't know what you've been missing.

The Best of the Best
I happened on C M. Sutter books ny happenstance. I had a couple of her books and enjoyed them. Then I looked further to see if she had more. I was surprised to find some of the Jade Monroe Detective series
among some of the books in my library. That was IT!!! I DEVOUR her books! I just love her style of writing!!!
I've been a fan of Stephen King, who got to macabre for me. Then I loved Dean Koontz, who now for me, has gotten too far out. I
also enjoy Danielle
Girard, Karin Slaughter and Cheryl Bradshaw. But, most of all, I cannot STOP reading C.M. Sutter books! She, for
sure, has become, my all time favorite!!!

C. M. Sutter writes a great story--every time; in each of her books. Jade Monroe is a straightforward heroine who is tough as they come, but also empathetic to people who have been victimized by one of her bad ass bad guys. There is always a lot of carnage, and malicious actions by the perpetrators. Jade, and her partner, J.T., have a great rapport and complement each other. This story moves fast, and, as with other books in the series, show how the FBI works to solve cases. The books aren't overly long, and keep me engaged throughout. I recommend this series.

Revenge
Made and J.T. head to Milwaukee on their first case since the kidnapping. Someone is killing women by stabbing in the throat. After three murders in as many days they still don't have any suspects.
Knowing the person they are looking for has something to do with bad divorce and revenge from the ex-husband for taking his family.
Any book hard to put down until the very end.

Great series
This five book detective series was a very enjoyable read. Following Jade and her partner J.T. through action packed investigations of serial killers kept me coming back for more. I wish I knew about Jade's previous series as a detective, keep up the entertaining and thrilling writing.

Another fantastic adventure!
This was a fun one. JT and Jade back together solving cases in tandem with several other fine law personnel. This story was really good. I struggled to find the connection until that always present Aha! moment when things start to fall into place. Crazed serial killers always make that one mistake that gets them caught. Great series. Next....

jade monroe series
This was the first series/books that I have read from this author. They weren’t terrible, just for some reason I’m not a big fan of this author, and something’s in the books just feel very outdated, like Jade calling JT “partner,” to me, it made it seem like they were in a western. Hopefully I’ll like the next series of this author more than I did now.

Great twists to the story
I love mysteries, but I hate it when you can figure the whole story out before the end of the third or fourth chapter. This was a great suspense that kept me guessing on how it all fit together until the very end. Great read!

EXCELLENT!!!! Great Series
I've read all 10 books!!! And I must say I truly loved them. C.M. SUTTER put me right in the scenes. All of the characters came alive. I would recommend the books to everyone.

Jade can be taught new tricks
People can take events and blame everyone but themselves. Others can pay for someone else's offences. It is all in the long days of an FBI agent. Jade and J. T. take it in stride and follow the clues. Great book!

Well, this book ends the series about Agent Jade Malone. C. M. Sutter could written many more exciting cases to be solved. Jade Monroe has become my new favorite investigator. This is another story about murder and revenge that moves very quickly.

Good book, if you want action throughout. A great serial-killer novel. Can be a little wordy, which caused me to jump around till I pickup the juicy parts of the narrative. Insight into why doctors insist that people on psych drugs keep up with their meds. Guess what can happen, if you don't.

Psychological thriller to the end
On the trial of an illusion cold blooded killer who strikes hard and fast. This last book will keep you reading late at night to know the results of another Jade Monroe manhunt.

Advertised as last in series. I certainly hope not. Will read C. M. Sutter's other series as I enjoy the ones I have read so far. Hope Jade has more adventures in future.

Great Book
The book moved fast and really kept you sitting on the edge of your seat. I found myself staying up late and not wanting to put the book down. Look forward to other books by her.

Unusual serial killer with no criminal history. A difficult criminal to find as no clues left that can lead back to a individual

Good story
I hated the last one in this series but this one was better and about equal to the first three. I am liking the characters Made and J.T. Enough to carry on.

Best of this series. Characters are better defined and true to their development in earlier books of the series. Looking forward to more Agent Monroe FBI adventures.

Good book especially the end; Jade's surprise for J.T.
Another investigation that starts at the beginning & J.T. back in the saddle is good.
