Another great installment of this series, and I really like the subplot developing as well. Can't wait to dive into the next one!

i have really enjoyed reading the scarlett bell series! they’re very short, easy reads. i like how the stories feel complete and leave me satisfied even though they’re all like 150 pages or less. it feels very unique to learn about the main characters, scarlett and gardy, over the course of the entire series. it’s interesting because they are developed well enough in the first book to b satisfying, but we learn so much more as the series progresses. the book/series layout reminds me of my favorite shows like bones, csi, and criminal minds. i’m excited to continue reading this series and dan padavona’s entire backlist!

I love this series! I love how Dan Padavona is able to make these books short, fast reads. In my opinion each book gives you the info you are looking for, yet leaves an element of mystery. In my opinion Dan Padavona leaves you wanting more at the end of each book. If you have read the other 5 Scarlett Bell books, I believe Dead Ringers lives up to the others. I would recommend Dead Ringers. In my opinion Dan Padavona introduced an interesting twist at the end of the book. I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

Knife wounds
This time the serial killer that Bell is chasing has found his thrills using a knife. Bell is being stalked by the perp, by the former BAU Agent, by a nasty reporter-how much upheaval can one agent handle in her quest to catch a killer?
Buy the series.

More and more
With each book this series gets more intriguing, more interesting and more intense. But at that same time they are getting more complex and the two sides of the law are more connected. On to book 6.

Friction in Florida
I liked this series, short and to the point. Scarlett must deal with a partner who is feeling less than himself and with the newest case the detective in charge doesn’t want her anywhere it. Suspenseful and a good mystery into the mind of a serial killer.

Another enjoyable Scarlett Bell stort
It didn't disappoint, as the characters are well fleshed out. The Scarlett and Logané Wolf connection is created and tantalizes the readers. Great storyline.

Great read!
The stakes get higher with each book in the series! Padavona creates an eerie backdrop as he develops the characters for this riveting series.

Discovered this series completely by accident over Easter while looking for some shorter length audio books to listen to while going about my day to day and was absolutely delighted with the find.
Each audiobook is roughly 3 hours in length and covers a new case each book while continuing the main story of the FMC Scarlett Bell.
I finished the first 3 books in one day because they were so good and I needed more.
If you are a fan of quick listen audiobooks, the mystery/thriller genre and enjoy shows like Criminal Minds then this is definitely series you should add to your TBR/TBL.
