All the Missing Pieces

De: Catherine Cowles

Narrado por: Andi Arndt, Sebastian York

Sometimes the last thing you expect is exactly what you need, the final missing piece. And sometimes it comes in the form of a towering, broody sheriff, determined to get in your way at every step.

Ridley Sawyer knows what it's like to miss someone, to feel like a piece of her vanished—because it happened to her the night her twin sister disappeared.

Now, Ridley channels that loss into hope, traveling the country covering cold cases for her true crime podcast. She might not have found justice for her sister but that doesn't stop her from finding it for others.

Until Sheriff Colter Brooks gets in her way.

Colt knows what it's like to have reporters descend on his town in the wake of a tragedy, and he's not about to let a fiery podcaster stir up trouble. It doesn't matter that her haunting blue eyes tell him there's more to Ridley's story or that he can't stop imagining what it would be like to touch her.

But when Ridley's cold case turns hot and she's thrust into the crosshairs, Colt has no choice but to step in. Suddenly, Ridley's living at his house, drinking his whiskey, and stealing his dog's affections. But she's also proving that she's so much more than his first impression.

And as they get closer to the truth, the game they've been playing might just turn deadly…

Amazing!

This is the best Catherine Cowles book I’ve listened to. The story line was amazing and suspenseful to the end. Both Andi Arndt and Sebastian York were the perfect narrators for this book as well. They are an excellent duo. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense with a little bit of romance.

Perfection!

Catherine Cowles does it again! She is my go to author.. It’s guaranteed that I will love anything she writes. This one was no exception! It was absolutely perfect! I laughed, I cried, I gasped and I fell madly in love with all the characters in this small town.

Another 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! 😍

Okay, I’ve said once & I’ll say it again here: Normally, I’m not really into the Enemies-to-Lovers trope in romance, BUT this … I LOVED this!! I was actually so excited to read/listen to it (thank you, Audible, for having the audio version all ready to go on release day, btw! 😊) that I actually put down a series I was already in the middle of to read/listen to THIS one AND I finished it in 3 days!! I am NOT kidding!! In 3 DAYS!! I could NOT put it down!! (The only reason why it took me 3 days to begin with was probably because I had to go to work Monday & today! 🙃) And the twist! My God! It’s SO true what they said: I did NOT see it coming! Wow! 😱😆 The only thing that kinda surprised me (other than the MAIN twist, that is 😉) is that I was SO sure Trey (Colt’s (the MMC) best friend) was gonna be involved somehow, but he wasn’t in the end (& I don’t consider this much of a spoiler since it didn’t happen, anyway … 🤷🏽‍♀️). I was also just a little disappointed that we didn’t get a little Bonus Scene with the 2 main leads about their future; I NEED to know about the characters future! Like do Colt & Ridley (the FMC) eventually have kids together?! Or is Emerson (Colt’s sister) finally brave enough to go on a little podcasting adventure with Ridley? Have a little Girls’ Trip together in ole Bessie (Ridley’s “camping” van 🚐)?? I NEED to know these things!! 😆👍🏻😍

"Haven't you figured it out yet, Chaos? You've had me breaking all the rules from the day I met you."

I started reading Catherine’s suspenseful romances about 4 years ago, and I remember loving the suspense aspect of her stories. We used to chat about her love for true crime podcasts, so when I started All the Missing Pieces, it felt like it was a story Catherine was made to write. This one was a bit heavier on the suspenseful romance than her usual stories and yet I think it’s her best book yet. There was truly a perfect balance of the two. Colt & Ridley had a very natural connection, their banter was so effortless. You could tell under colt’s pestering there was an underlying affection and protectiveness for Ridley. I’m not one who likes a lot of suspense, I get really anxious lol but Catherine balances the romance and suspense perfectly. Overall I thought Catherine nailed, the plot, the banter, and the romance. I can’t wait for more books from Cathrine :) Every book she writes is a treat!

Good story and awesome narrators!

This was so good! Performed by Sebastian York and Andi Arndt, this audiobook is definitely top notch! The pacing and tone, and the banter were delivered with such finesse. I would give the narration 100 stars if I could.

I’ve read almost all of Catherine Cowles’s books and I’ve loved them all. I love the small town, romantic suspense she writes but this one was exceptionally done well. The story started off tragic with the missing twin but from there the hilarious meet cute and meeting the townsfolk and the cute pets, I couldn’t put this book down. Not to mention the heroine, Ridley is a podcaster who travels the country trying to help solve cold cases. A very interesting career IMO. The grumpy town sheriff, Colt didn’t stay grumpy for too long once Ridley got into town. I love the sparks these two crested on the pages. The villain (I didn’t guess who tho til the end) was bad but got what he deserved in the end.

Grump x Sunshine - Small Town Vibes! Catherine Cowles is AMAZING!

Dual Narration!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoyed this audio so much! The small town vibes mixed in with Ridley & Colt was perfect. Ridley knew she could make it as a podcaster and Colt supported her 100% even through some "chaos" 😉 If you've read any of Catherine Cowles books, you'll love this one too! If not, dive in and get ready to find a new author to love ❤️

All the Missing Pieces

All the Missing Pieces is the first book in the Shady Cove series. This book is about Colter and Ridley and is told from both of their points of view.

Ridley is trying to solve a mystery for her podcast, and to get answers for what happened to her sister. She shows up to a new town on leads, and Colt (the town Sheriff) doesn't greet her on the best terms.

The more Colt gets to know Ridley he realizes she may know more than he originally thought, and he starts to see her in another light. There were some twists and turns I didn't see coming. I loved all of the characters in this book, and I had to keep going to see what happened next.

I can't wait to see what happens next in this series!
