Left to Ruin

Rate this book
A new serial killer strikes, and FBI Special Agent Adele Sharp can’t shake the feeling that he is masquerading as normal, and right before her eyes. In a mad race against time, Adele must ask herself: who is she overlooking? And how does he blend in?

FBI Special Agent Adele Sharp—a German-and-French raised American with triple citizenship—is made to criss-cross America and Europe to bring criminals to justice. But this case is truly testing her, and as more bodies begin to appear, Adele is forced to consider: is everything really as it seems?

Or could this killer be hiding in plain sight?

A fitting conclusion

I enjoyed reading the Sharp-Renee series. After all the pain, happiness came through at the end. Both characters deserved happiness.

I enjoyed reading all books in the series, Adele and John have walked a long path together, always full of troubles but also with companionship, trust, and respect. Left to Ruin ties together all open existing scenarios. The story is fast-paced, well-written, and provides great entertainment! Well done Ms. Pierce!

I have loved this series and reading about Adele and John, I love the ending the author gave them. I love Blake pierce and I will miss reading this series (I’ll probably revisit eventually). But I’m looking forward to going back and finishing the Ella Dark Series.
