Reviews

[The Phoenix · Rating 5 out of 5]

This might be the best one of the series. It's at least better than the last one. Murder and mystery.

[Hanna · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nothing spectacular again, just a nice quick listen! Nothing really thriller about it… kinda just like a crime show very drawn out.

Audiobook

[Treena · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a fast-paced, cat-and-mouse kind of thriller that had me turning pages late into the night—though I’ll admit, some of the plot beats felt a bit familiar if you’ve read a few serial killer thrillers before.

The main character is driven, a little flawed (just how I like them), and the suspense builds nicely. I wouldn’t say it completely blew me away, but it did scratch that itch for a gritty, high-stakes mystery with enough twists to keep you guessing.

If you’re in the mood for a quick, suspenseful ride with some dark turns and a determined female lead, this one’s worth the read. Bonus points for the pacing—it never really lets up.

Tightening Up
I've had a few minor issues with the earlier books in this series. They were small annoyances that I hoped would resolve themselves. I liked the characters and the complexity of the storylines, so I stayed with Harley Cole.

Sure enough, the characters are smoothing out the rough edges, working together well, and the plot on this one was great. Both Harley and her FBI partner have their demons, and they're getting better about sharing this info with each other. That's really not so uncommon. It seems to be a driving force for many who get into law enforcement. That sense that they were unable to right an injustice done to someone they loved, so they'll devote their lives to doing it for others.

These uncaped crusaders, especially Harley, show a much more seasoned approach in this novel as they hunt for a total psycho of a serial killer. Instead of jumping at shadows and pouncing on every person of interest as though they're the guilty party, the duo follows the leads, makes appropriate deductions, and throw themselves into harm's way again.

I'm so glad to see the improvement here. This series is becoming a good, solid crime read.

[Susie Mueller · Rating 4 out of 5]

Audiobook. To me, it’s actually a 3.5-4.0. These books get better with each listen. This is third in the Kate Bold series I have listened to. I was glad I listened during the day because the story is creepy and would be even scarier if I listened at night. Interesting story. The dynamic between the main FBI characters gets better. If you like crime stories, this is a good one! And, I do like the continuation of the case on Harley’s sister. I want her to solve the case! The teasing of a potential story line hooks the reader, then disappoints when the case isn’t solved. On to the 4th book in the series……

[Claudete Takahashi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Nowhere to Run is the third book in the Harley Cole series and the stories just keep on getting better. This time Harley and Callaway are tasked with a case that is quite difficult to break open until they receive unexpected help from a museum. This is a fast-paced story with well-defined characters that grasp the reader's attention from the beginning. I'm looking forward to reading the following book in this series.
I received an ARC from the author and this is my honest review.

[Mary Tuohy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This novel has a very clever plot. I found myself listening to this audiobook as much as possible without many breaks. I highly recommend this series. I love the relationship between Harley & Calloway as their partnership brings them closer. Usually I don’t enjoy novels with a running backstory but this series has me wondering what the outcome will be regarding Harley’s sister Kelly. I’m hooked and I’m already starting audiobook 4.

[Judy Meierhofer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gold wrapped

Another great read. I would like to hear more of her dating, but to put her sister to rest so let her unwrap the case. Let her be alive and Living a good life and her dad gets the closure. What a reach for a murderer. So sick that he thought of during and living with them. Had he ever heard of hell.

This was pretty good. Likable, credible characters. The plot was well done. I’d read another in the series.

I am curious though - why do so many female FBI characters have an unsolved murder or missing person in their families? Is that a required subplot?

[Mary Adams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Moved quickly through book. Fast moving mystery. Couldn’t put the book down.

[joyce · Rating 3 out of 5]

Slow

Too much like other mysteries I have read.Nothing new or exciting. Think I will switch to a different type of writing.

[Ruth · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story line is good, the characters are stereotypical or two dimensional.
I wonder how an trained FBI agent can be so hapless when following criminals.

[Kristin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Once again another great Harley Cole book. I get so invested in her cases although I wish we would find out what happened to her sister soon

[Lynn · Rating 2 out of 5]

My least favorite so far - very similar to the last one.

[Bob · Rating 1 out of 5]

Worst FBI agent ever. Brings a gun to a knife fight and gets her ass kicked. She always needs someone to rescue her.

[marcie dawn mori]

Good on par with the second book interesting mystery easy listen

[susan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I just can't get enough of this series. I love the characters.

[Sandie Briggs · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve loved each book in this series so far & this one doesn’t fail either. It’s a page turner & you need to know what happens next. Can’t wait to read the next book

[Phyllis Stewart · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent murder mystery.

[Courtney Brock · Rating 4 out of 5]

The ending. Wow. Running to the next one now.

[Amy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a good job. Borrowed via Hoopla.

Liking this series, this one was about a case where they are finding girls bodies wrapped in gold and faces painted gold
