FBI Agent Jade Monroe: Live or Die #5
Blood Equity
Fans of James Patterson or Michael Connelly will love C. M. Sutter!
FBI Agent Jade Monroe has fond memories of Savannah. She loves the Southern charm, the history, and the South’s slower pace, but arriving there as a serial crimes investigator, she finds a different side of the city.
A request for help has come in from the PD because people in the Hostess City of the South are literally falling over dead in broad daylight after consuming a dangerous drug cocktail.
When Jade disappears during a victim’s funeral, the puzzle pieces begin to fall into place, and the only way Renz will find his partner is by learning the reason for the murders. Will Jade escape the killer’s terrifying grip, or will she be forced to drink that same drug cocktail and end up on public display as the killer’s final victim?
Editorial Review
“FBI Agent Jade Monroe has always loved visiting Savannah, but when she’s sent there on FBI business, tourism takes a back seat to the investigation. Some zombielike citizens are showing up in tourism hot spots and acting in a bizarre fashion just moments before they die of a drug overdose. When Jade vanishes into thin air following the first victim’s funeral, the FBI and local law enforcement race to find her in this pulse-pounding tale with the perfect city as a backdrop.” Angela M., Line Editor, Red Adept Editing

C. M. Sutter is a fine writer. Her characters are all accessible human beings with imperfections and engaging personalities. In her books, the FBI works well with local police agencies, as opposed to some writers who anticipate antagonism between local law enforcement and the "feebees." Jade Monroe is an extremely competent agent who has a soft side to her. The story line flows and the ending is believable if just a bit contrived. I have enjoyed all of Ms. Sutter's books that I've read, and recommend them to folks who like law enforcement mysteries.

I don’t want this series to end! 😢
I’ve read every book of C.M Sutter’s featuring Jade Monroe and have given 5 stars to all of them! I’m terribly sorry to hear this is the last book in the series! Every single book grabbed me from Page 1 and I couldn’t stop reading - usually starting & finishing within 24 hours or less! Bring me a new strong, feisty female lead like Jade, C.M. Sutter! I’ll be watching for it!!!

Got predictable
The first two books were good, but the last few were too predictable. Jade became stupid for an agent. No FBI agent would be as careless as she was to get kidnapped time after time.

Excellent book, intriguing plot with surprising twists. Life-like characters, with real-life personalities. I hate that it's the last book, I would have liked for the series to have continued.

This one was really good, I did not know who the killer was until the end and it made since why he did it but it’s still not right.
