LET HER TRY is book #10 in a long-anticipated new series by #1 bestseller and USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose bestseller Once Gone (a free download) has received over 7,000 five star ratings and reviews.
Fiona Red, a brilliant but quirky FBI loner, spends most of her time in the lab or at crime scenes. She comes from a family used to being around death and bodies, her parents having run a funeral parlor, and she would have run the family business if not for a tragedy in her past: her sister was abducted when she was a teenager, and never found.
Fiona remains determined to crack her sister’s case. But in the meantime, as an FBI agent, she applies her brilliance to catching killers and cracking cases that no one else can, as bugs are the first visitors to dead bodies.
With her FBI partner out in the field, Fiona expects to stay behind the scenes.
But Fiona, obsessed with catching killers, takes it one step too far, and may just find herself in the crosshairs of a killer herself.
A page-turning and harrowing crime thriller featuring a brilliant and tortured FBI agent, the Fiona Red series is a riveting mystery, packed with non-stop action, suspense, twists and turns, revelations, and driven by a breakneck pace that will keep you flipping pages late into the night. Fans of Rachel Caine, Teresa Driscoll and Robert Dugoni are sure to fall in love.
Future books in the series will soon be available!

Customer Reviews
Mediocre at best
Almost silly. Boring. No character development. Sorry Blake.
Hideous
Whiny female protagonist. Unprofessional.
And if bad narration drives you crazy this one is the worst
Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive.
There are so many instances of basically the same thoughts, thought processes, descriptions of scenes, descriptions of actions, everything being written/said I feel like at least three whole chapters can be removed. It’s rather frustrating to consistently hear the same things, even using the same words.
Second, the narrator misreads emotions regularly (ex. a character whispers something, yet the narrator reads it more as an exclamation). Also, I’m not sure if this is an English thing, but she pronounces what I’m sure is supposed to be a silent e as a long e (ex. else is pronounced els-ee), among other strangely sounding words.
Third, the story itself just flows strangely. Maybe I need to listen to the other books in the series to get it?
Final thoughts: the repetition, the strange pronunciations (for American ears), the over explanation of some things coupled with the seemingly under explanations of other things makes me come to the one star.
