The Perfect Crime

Blake Wilder FBI Mystery Thriller, Book 25

By: Elle Gray

Narrated by: Brittany Goodwin

They say the streets will chew you up and leave you for dead.
Here a young girl’s dream is a mere memory.
A bleak and hope-draining existence.
A place where a man’s cruelty hides behind a veil of deceit and smiles.

FBI agent Blake Wilder has spent her best years taking down the most depraved souls.
Even though she has seen great evil, it has not taken away the sparks of hope she has.
Hope that helps her endure and continue the fight for the good guys.

When she receives a call from a detective in New Orleans regarding multiple missing women, she faces a perplexing case with no bodies, spanning multiple decades.
The only clues to the potential crimes are shoes bound with a red bow on the beds of female victims, ones who are never heard from again.

Upon arrival in the vibrant city, she is met with both appreciation and scorn by the police precinct.
Unfazed by the unwelcoming environment, Blake searches for clues to find the missing women.
From the swamplands to the marshlands, there are no concrete clues to the disappearances.
It seems the perp has committed a series of perfect crimes.
With no trails or even body parts to go on, the red ribbon case feels like an unsolvable riddle.
One that only leads to dead ends and defeat.

Deaths, desperation, and vanishing working girls.
Some truths are to cover up the illusion of something far more sinister.

Binge worhthy

For the past 6 months or so I have binge listened to all 25 of the Blake Wilder series and I have finally caught up to the author and I’m ngl, a little sad over here. 🤣 My commute, folding laundry, setting a 10 minute timer at bed time instead of scrolling or turning on the tv… definitely binge worthy.

Ps. Sorry it took me 25 books to write a review even though I listened to your author’s note about Indie writers :/

Wasn’t a fan

The main character was annoying and super repetitive. The storyline was boring. It was really hard to get through. I will not be reading or listening to any other books from this author.

NannaSQ

She needs to upgrade her formula for her writing. Always having an enemy in the government, an enemy with police, never developing a healthy personal relationship with a good man, etc… it’s getting old and worn out. There are plenty of bad guys for her story just among the criminal elements without having to ALWAYS not be able to get along with colleagues, leaders, and senators.
