Kate Bold

A bundle of books #1 (NOT ME), #2 (NOT NOW), and #3 (NOT WELL) in Kate Bold’s Camille Grace FBI Suspense Thriller series!

In this new series by #1 bestselling—and critically-acclaimed—mystery and suspense author Kate Bold, Camille Grace, a rising star in the FBI’s BAU unit, is dispatched to the one place she vowed to never return: the deep South.

In NOT ME (Book #1), a string of murders by a suspected serial killer outside New Orleans forces Camille to face her Creole roots, her tortured past, estranged family—and her buried secrets. Camille’s frustrations mount as she struggles to connect with her newly-assigned partner and as clues don’t add up. To make matters worse, Camille is haunted by memories of her sister’s disappearance years ago—and this new killer’s victims seem to fit the same description. Could it be the same killer? Camille knows she must enter this killer’s twisted mind if she has any hope of stopping him in time. But will he take her down with him?

In NOT NOW (Book #2), when bodies turn up in the swamps, victims of alligator attacks, something seems awry, and Camille must discover if this is mother nature—or the work of a new serial killer. Camille clashes with her partner, convinced there is more to the deaths than alligator attacks—and yet she, herself, is puzzled: who would commit such a twisted crime? Why? At the same time, Camille feels compelled to dive back into her sister’s cold case, and into the disappearance that has haunted her for her entire life. Might she find a new lead? First, though, she must race a ticking clock to save the next victim in time. Unless the killer finds her first.

In NOT WELL (Book #3), Camille must come to terms with her partner, and with her own local roots, as she plunges headlong into the investigation. It will require every ounce of attention she has to enter this killer’s mind and crack the code. But a new lead into her own sister’s disappearance may just upend everything.

A riveting psychological crime thriller full of mystery and suspense, the CAMILLE GRACE mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist. Packed with twists and turns, her story will keep you flipping pages late into the night.
