Book 2 of 4: Cady Maddix Mystery

See all formats and editions

An obsessive killer, a witness with secrets, and a deputy US marshal with her own dark demons collide in this gripping mystery from the bestselling author of Cold Dark Places.

Dylan was only a child when he and his friend stumbled onto a crime scene deep in the woods. His friend was killed that night. And Bruce Forrester, the man who had chased the boys in the woods, disappeared. But he’s never stopped looking for the only living witness. Ever since, Dylan and his family have been on the run.

Deputy US Marshal Cady Maddix knows what it’s like to be haunted by a traumatizing childhood. She’s determined to track Forrester down and give Dylan the peace of mind he deserves. Only the more Cady delves into the case, the more pieces of a strange puzzle emerge—about Forrester, Dylan, and Cady’s own inescapable demons.

As Cady grows closer to separating the truth from the lies, someone is determined to stop her at all costs. And the consequences of putting the past to rest could prove deadly.

An Exciting book!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2024

Verified Purchase

I truly enjoy books that are crime related. This book has a killer being chased by deputies, state police and the US Martials. You are turning pages and can't wait to find out what happens or what's found out next. I highly recommend this series!

Good book but drags in spots

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book was decent. Miss Brant writes a lovely story and the plot was easy to follow. I do not like where she started to drag out the details. For example : she got in the elevator, she pushed the buttons, when she was exiting the doors, then her phone rings. I remember in all of my writing classes that I was told to simplify and consolidate. I understand that she's trying to paint a picture, but the picture would still be obvious if she cut out the two middle parts. But alas, the book was still decent. I give it 4 stars even though my star rating isn't showing up... It wasn't much of a mystery. I mean, the park about Trevor was something unknown and she still kind of left it floating in the air on the specifics, but I can guess what it was.

Cady is Tough with A Soft Heart

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved this book so much I read it twice! Cady Maddix is a complex and likeable character. She is great at her job as a Deputy US Marshal, but because of her childhood she has trouble managing her personal life. It finally looks like she will have the answers she
has been looking for regarding the murder of her father when Cady was four years old. Sheriff Ryder Talbot is in a relationship with Cady ( as much of one as she will allow) and has kept his knowledge of his father’s illicit behavior from his mother...especially since Butch Talbot (the former sheriff) was revered by all who knew him. Dylan Castle was in the wrong place at the wrong time when he was ten years old, and he recognized Bruce Forrester. Forrester chased Dylan and his friend and threatened to drown the boys if he caught them. Dylan is 15 now, and he and his mother have moved from town to town because they are convinced Forrester is trying to find and kill Dylan. No one would envy Dylan’s life. SBI is involved in Dylan’s case, and now Forrester has been seen on tape kidnapping a woman, and Cady is working the warrant for his arrest. It is interesting to read about all the agencies working together
to track down Forrester. The last chapter of this book is amazingly wonderful!

Well constructed plot!

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2020

I like the character Cady Maddox. In many books of this genre, the main female either has a chip on her shoulder or a need to eschew all help from males, believing that all of them want to bring her down to a subservient level. Boo-Hoo. I really dislike that kind of character. In Cady Maddox, we find a woman who is flawed, but capable...she owns it. She doesn't have to prove it all the time. Flanked by other capable characters, the books roll along without the stupid drama that can sometimes overtake the plot. I loved both books with this heroine. Hey! The plot's good, too, and the story keeps you guessing. Very good read.

Slow starter

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2022

This is a good book, but it is very slow to get started. It has a lot of different plot lines, but they all run together just right. The action picks up at the end and turns into a great ending.

Good second story in the series

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

The building characterization of the heroes in the story was very good. Finding out that somethings were not true with the crimes that were committed and others were very messed up. Miss Bryant did a great job tying it all Lynn and I can’t wait for the next one.

Slow starter, but then really good!

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2020

I almost out this one down about a third of the way through, but I kept reading, and sure enough got pulled into a great story. I'm glad I kept reading. I used to finish every book good or bad, but life is too short to miss out on the good stories, so now I only finish ones like this....ones worth finishing.

Excellent Book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 6, 2020

I read the first one and couldn't put it down, this one is just as good, I am now waiting for the third, I think some times we can get into a bind with our books and tend to stick to the same author, I am so please I decided to try some one else.
These books have grit with a good story line and characters you will interact with wonderful.
