Fiona Red #8
Let Her Believe
When victims of a new killer are found with an eerie trademark—a single, rare bug left on their body—expert FBI forensic examiner and entomologist Fiona Red may just be the only one brilliant enough to catch a killer before he strikes again…
Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having run a funeral parlor, and she would have run the family business if not for a tragedy in her her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.
Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.
With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.
But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.
A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.

Caught
It was the ending for me in this book in the series. Fiona finally being able to catch the person who took her sister. I guess I need to read the next one to find out exactly what happened.

Well Blake, I would have given this book 3 stars like I had the others because I enjoyed the story, but the lack of proofreading…come on! Do you even map out these stories?
Page 167 you threw in a sentence that didn’t make any sense but would have been a big thing (no spoilers here) and then you just keep going on as if nothing happened. Read your books cover-to-cover before you publish or let me proofread!
End of rant.

More of the same
The main characters are enjoyable but each storyline seems to involve someone on a killing rampage over another person killing a bug. I expected the use of insects in the solving of crimes. Like how long someone had beefed dead or where they were killed. A bit boring.

3.5 ⭐️
I wanted to like this one a lot, but it just felt flat to me. It was missing its usual drama. It felt very repetitive. I gave that extra .5 because FINALLY we're getting somewhere with her sisters kidnapping. Also, I'm happy Red stuck with her gut to get the case.

I started it, but stopped once I realised the storyline was the same as the previous books. Someone killing people because they hurt/killed bugs/animals. The books are less about bugs being a part of solving murders and more bugs as a motive.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.

Continuing the series because I'm stubborn. Although the typos and lack of proof reading is becoming apparent.

Worst one so far. Very disappointing. I’ve made it this far, I guess I’ll listen to the last one/#9.

Amazing
The search is not over yet. The puzzle pieces are slowly connecting. Another great story by this fantastic FBI team.
