Another great addition to the series and another unique serial killer Scarlett Bell has to face. I'm enjoying the subplots weaving in and out of these, too. The author adds in the creep factor on this one, which I loved. Diving into the next one very soon!

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 the Scarlett Bell Series!!! This series is suspenseful, a page turner and keeps you on your toes. Dan Padavona threw a couple of twist at the end of this book. I kinda saw it coming, but in my opinion it did not take away from the story. In my opinion Dan Padavona manages to get all the information you need in very few pages. Scarlett Bell is dealing with a copy of problems and I'm hoping that Dan Padavona will bring a close to one so we can dig into the other problem. I enjoyed Chasing the Devil but I am becoming a little frustrated with the one story line.

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.

This one is Good

I have read this author since his first published book and this latest book right here exemplifies his growth as a story teller.

Formulae and tropes are hard to steer clear of so when an author can take the same old plot lines and archetypes and still keep your attention engagingly, you know how to play the game.
Padavona's got game!

Will Scarlett ever learn

Scarlett is strong willed and doesn’t listen to anyone. On a whim she leaves town to track a serial killer without the FBIs approval. Thrills and suspense fill the rest of the book.

I'm hooked!

Another great read! Scarlett is on the run and constantly second-guessing herself. Great characters. Would love to see more of Lason.
