The Perfect Lie

Okay Blake - five books in and the endings are all the same. Why oh why are you sending one individual who isn't even a police officer all by themselves without backup into a home to confront a suspect while she explains in detail how the crime was committed? Second, why are you making every single criminal a female? I understand that maybe it's more of a twist initially since we make generalizations about men and violence but after five books it's not shocking anymore. Lastly, why does every single crime have to do with some strange sex story? Not everything in life is about sex Blake. Injured police officers do not return to duty, police officers (let alone civilians) do not enter scenes alone without backup and a professional criminal profiler should not be making this many mistakes. I can't wait to see Hannah become a psychopath - I kind of want her to get you Jessie; you deserve it.

<strong>Typos are one thing</strong><br /><br />Typos and grammatical errors are one thing but when I’ve actually spent money on your books, I expect you to NOT mix up your characters in your story (i.e. more than once she referred to “Taylor” as “Jessie” - it’s obvious). That’s just sloppy and I expect better.

<strong>Good case, missing bigger story</strong><br /><br />This book focused well on the smaller plot, the individual case. It however did not talk a lot about the plot of the series. It made the ending of the book a little fill, we are going back into the same story again with new people. Still a good read but not as good as the previous books

Another good thriller suspenseful Blake Pierce book!

I found it interesting, I like the characters and story line and suspense, a few mistakes here and there and story if fast but still pretty good.

I’m honestly disappointed in this book. I bought it on kindle and read it within a few hours and was left feeling unsatisfied because the book was uneventful. I do love this series it’s quickly become one of my favorites but I didn’t like focus of this book. The case that Jessie is working on is basically what the book is about and it wasn’t an interesting case either. There is also not much happening in this book between her and Hernandez or her personal life. I would like to see Jessie develop an actual personal life outside of her work environment maybe more friends. I love her character and her career is interesting but I do want to read more about her outside of work.

Was Blake Pierce always hateful towards women and I just started to notice or is this a new thing? <br /><br /><br />Anyway, This has a somewhat nice premise but is completely botched. The audio annoyed me and the characters annoyed me. This was a very unpleasant experience.

Love this series however there was a major lack of editing in this book. Names got completely mixed up which is a huge thing to overlook. Other than that, an enjoyable book.

I just can’t do any more. The first book was really good, but little things through the rest of this series are just so unbelievable and irritating. Everyone is shocked to learn the high security prisoner has been communicating with a serial killer. He has no access to the outside world... how can it be happening? Oh, the prison officials let him have the newspaper! You don’t use an inhaler for an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts. A profiler wouldn’t go alone to the home of a suspect who killed someone by putting a drug in their drink, ASK for a cup of tea as a stalling tactic, then be surprised that the tea was drugged after drinking it and feeling woozy. Oh... this was how the same profiler had the reaction to peanuts, by accepting a drink laced with peanut oil. Just too much sloppy, predictable stuff. It was a promising series, but I’m done.

I enjoyed this book due to the forward-moving action and resilience of the protagonist, Jessie who is an FBI Profiler working with the police as a consultant. Her determination and persistence tend to get her into trouble, but she is lovable with a great sense of humour. I have preordered Book 6 of the series. It is definitely worth a read. The only issues are the proofreading errors throughout the book, but this doesn't deter from the value of the story.
