Another great addition to this series. I know it's plunging headlong to the end of the series with the next book, and I hope we see more of Scarlett in the future. Love the arc of the characters and can't wait to dive into the next part.

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!

A terrific series
Although I have really enjoyed this series, I do wish that the stories were longer. I understand that the author has written this series in the format that he enjoys, which is great, but I personally prefer the longer stories and series. JMO!
I would definitely recommend this book, series, and outstanding author.

Abused Psychotic
Bell and Gardy pulled into another case. 1, 2,3 women missing. Law enforcement Bell and Gardy stumped. Then Bell gets her head into precise profile. Wolf shows up again. No spoilers. Go read the entire series.

Fast and furious
These quick read stories are prefect. The right amount of intrigue, and suspense. The right size of a puzzle to solve in short order. And the right amount of down time spent on a lazy afternoon.

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.
