LEFT TO DIE is book #1 in a new FBI thriller series by USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose #1 bestseller Once Gone (Book #1) (a free download) has received over 1,000 five star reviews.
FBI special agent Adele Sharp is a German-and-French raised American with triple citizenship—and an invaluable asset in bringing criminals to justice as they cross American and European borders.
When a serial killer case spanning three U.S. states goes cold, Adele returns to San Francisco and to the man she hopes to marry. But after a shocking twist, a new lead surfaces and Adele is dispatched to Paris, to lead an international manhunt.
Adele returns to the Europe of her childhood, where familiar Parisian streets, old friends from the DGSI and her estranged father reignite her dormant obsession with solving her own mother’s murder. All the while she must hunt down the diabolical killer, must enter the dark canals of his psychotic mind to know where he will strike next—and save the next victim before it’s too late.
An action-packed mystery series of international intrigue and riveting suspense, LEFT TO DIE will have you turning pages late into the night.
Books #2 and #3 in the series – LEFT TO RUN and LEFT TO HIDE – are also available for preorder!
Customer Reviews
Captivating, good narrator
It was a captivating thriller and the narrator was very good. Some of the detective work was spotty. I’m not a professional detective, but there were some holes in Sharp’s work. Overall enjoyable.
This is a good crime book
This is the best book I have read in awhile. The narrator is really good and the book has a great character development and having a ongoing story in this book.
Narrator is so annoying
Narrator tries way too hard. She reads like shes quoting Shakespeare in drama class and I want to cry. I found that by listening at 1.2 speed it wasn’t as bad. Sometimes the author uses “big words”when they aren’t needed and it just sounds stupid. Also, she writes descriptively in random spots and it doesn’t flow… the window shattered into delicate shards of what looked like diamonds or like a shimmering bursting firework on the 4th of July hahah I made that up but that’s what it sounds like.
