Love love this series. I got hooked quickly with the book that started it all “Someone Else’s Daughter”. I love the characters, especially the love between Parker and Miranda in the previous books. Her devastation at the loss of Parker is felt throughout this book. The follow through that the author does continuing the story of the Man in Boston does not disappoint either. You’ll love this book as Miranda is out for revenge while looking for Parker’s body. Another awesome book from Linsey Lanier.

This was a fabulous book! I would read another book by Linsey Lanier in a heartbeat! The characters are normal and smart and the love between Parker and Miranda is all consuming!

Mr P comes to Miranda after her husband’ s funeral and asks her to bring Wade’s body home. Miranda in the throws of grief, loss and still healing, agrees. She gathers the team together and they start brainstorming. And so begins another nail biting, edge of the seat experience for the reader. Make sure you can clear your “to do” when you start this series. This book is best read in order.
Parts of the book seemed over whelming and too much to absorb. However, I couldn’t put the book down until it was finished including staying up half the night. After 19 Parker and Miranda books, you do not get tired of the characters and the stories are addicting and you just can’t wait to see how the book ends or for the next book to come out. M’s Lanier is a masterful story creator and teller! Her knowledge base for her topics he been well thought out well researched. A++ and highly recommend reading if you enjoy murder mysteries. Her characters are memorable too especially the team

When you think you have it and it all blows up in your face, how can you function?
Wow! Best one yet. Who would think Parker and Miranda would get killed on the job. Miranda is saved by surgery and is now the CEO and named by Parker in his will given all the assets. After Parker's body has disappeared, his ceremony and burial is completed. Miranda, after her greiving, she goes to the office to find they are in the red. She finds they are in the red. After she promises Mr P, Parker's rather she will find his body. Now it starts!

Love hate relationship!!
I have a love hate relationship with this writer because I love love love her characters and getting involved to the point of feeling like we are friends....the hate part comes in as I’m reading and seeing that percentage read number climb..I know it will be over soon. There are 15 books in their series so far and there could be 15 more. I never get tired of Miranda and Mr. P!!!

Still a follower
A good read, but the first 14 books were “better,” kept me intrigued to continue reading the next book. This book, had the suspense, but too much “Austen Power’s movie - scenarios,” which explains my 3 star rating. I’m still a follower though. I would like to know of Simon & Janey’s outcome, and how Miranda and Parker will be involved in solving another murder mystery, since they both agree to retire.

Devoured
I devoured all 15 books. I cannot get enough. A great love story. A strong woman and a devastatingly handsome,sophisticated,rich man
The search for a missing daughter The ex and his criminal.partner. How it all began to weave together. The hunt for serial.killers.
The characters filled out and became their own stories. The babies on the way. What of loan and Wesson? Curt?
So much more to learn about. I can hardly wait!!

Very Traumatic But Exciting!
The events after the terrible shootout in Boston are very emotional. Do not want to write any spoilers but Miranda and Parker are not finished yet! They need to save the world! Wonderful series that I am rereading , starting with the 5 books about Miranda and then this Miranda and Parker series! Just as enjoyable, exciting read as the first time!

Fantastic follow up!
Loved this book, hadn't received the notification that it was out! After the cliff hanger of book 14 it was truly anticipated and didn't disappoint. I was lucky to stumble upon the series to read books 1-14 one after another a couple of months ago and truly recommend the series after reading the Miranda series first.

Loved this book!
Miranda and Parker are one of the best duos around. This book is a prime example of how well they work together even in the worst of times. I often wonder where and how Lindsey Lanier gets her plots because this one is a dilly!! Read the book and you will see what I mean!!

Back from the dead
Too bad that can't really happen except in fiction. I would bring back the love of my life. I really got caught up in this story and I think I cried every time Miranda did. I can just imagine the thrill of finding your partner still breathing. On to the next.....

Hard To Kill
Your stories about Miranda and Parker have hit a crescendo. I had to keep a box of tissues close by with this one. Reading all your books make them feel like family. The feats they accomplish are tremendous and it's so easy to get lost in them. As long as you keep writing them, I'll keep reading them. Thank you !

Loved this book, I feel like they are like family and looks like I’m on to the next one!
Each case is different but they also get more difficult and personal. This book almost did take out Miranda and Parker both and they didn’t get their guy! You know that won’t be the last of it.

Just finished number 15 of a great series. I enjoyed each of the books! If this is all for the Parkers, all the threads were woven in to end this series. Good luck with future endeavors!

Wow!! What a way to end the series
I must say that this series kept wanting me to continue to read. They've got a marriage so strong that everyone dreams of. I can't wait to read what else Linsey has written

3 1/2 stars.
Yes my heart did a leap of joy reading this book. And I like seeing Cindy Smith back with the team. Did think this went a little over the top there, but still really enjoyed it. And loved the ending. Cannot wait to read the next one and hopefully many many more after.

completely gripping, light reading
I was gripped in book 1 and have continued to be through the rest of the series. The characters are as one would expect, larger than life but the writer is so good you cannot stop wanting to find out what happens next.

Thrilling, nail-biting, and suspenseful!
I just finished Miranda and Parker's 15th book in this series. There is never a lull in their adventurous lives. You must read this series if you love adventurous, romantic, action-packed novels.

Actions packed
This was a great action packed book. I enjoyed all the action trying to keep up. One character something is going on with Miranda and in the next it’s Santana then back to Miranda and the team. Then to Parker, love it.
