—Reader review for Girl One: Murder

FBI Special Agent Taylor Sage has crossed the country and transferred to her dream job with the BAU at Quantico. With a new job, a new house, and her husband by her side, Taylor is ready to put the darkness of her past behind her: a sister who vanished when she was a teenager.

Taylor is ready for a fresh start. But when a tarot reader on the boardwalk offers an uncannily specific prediction about her next case, Taylor, ready to brush it off, is haunted by it—and can’t help noticing that it was accurate.

In DON’T LOOK (Book #1), bodies of young men are turning up, dressed unusually in gowns and posed like dolls. When a tarot reader offers FBI Special Agent Taylor Sage a clue to finding the diabolical serial killer, Taylor has no choice but to open her mind and follow the trail. What she encounters, though, is far more harrowing than anything she expected—and may just change everything she thought she knew. But time is running out, and Taylor will have to use every tool at her disposal to save the next victim, whether she believes in it or not. Might the tarot reader hold the key? Or is she leading Taylor down a fatal dead end?

In DON’T BREATHE (Book #2), victims of a new serial killer are turning up dead, chess pieces mysteriously left on their bodies. Brilliant FBI Special Agent Taylor Sage is determined to crack this one on her own, but when she hits a dead end, she must turn to the tarot reader for a clue—one that may hold the key, or may lead her right into a trap. Taylor, in the midst of the case of her life, must also battle demons from her past: dark secrets from Taylor’s past are threatening to bubble up—and possibly to end her marriage. Can she hold it together long enough to crack the case? Or might she be the next victim? 

A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the TAYLOR SAGE mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night.

Books #3-#6 in the series—DON’T RUN, DON’T FLINCH, DON’T REMEMBER, and DON’T TELL—are now also available.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Holmes calls on Watson late one evening to tell him about a case that he has been working on, and also to invite him to be a witness to the final stage of the investigation. Colonel James Barclay, of The Royal Mallows based at Aldershot Camp, is dead, apparently by violence, and his wife, Nancy, is the prime suspect. The Colonel's brother officers are quite perplexed at the Colonel's fate, as most of them have always believed that he and Nancy were a happy couple.
