Hide and Seek

In Mary Burton's Hide and Seek, the first installment in the Criminal Profiler romantic suspense series, this series debut will send you goosebumps and chills from start to finish.  It all started for Special Agent Macy Crow when she was assigned to Deep Run, Virginia, with the Tobi Turner case. Macy has been a survivor and had beaten the odds when she had been a victim of a hit-and-run accident on a previous case. Although Macy's parentage comes from a dark secreted past, when she was born from her rape and her mother was killed and later adopted with her twin sister. But that didn't stop her from getting the job done. In Deep Run, she's reunited with Sheriff Mike Nevada, a former lover of hers, on a serious case. When the corpse was found of missing teenager Tobi Turner's remains inside of an old barn, it was the start of everything in her investigation of what happened to her. And that had lead her to the shocking cases of untested rape kits and more missing persons case that bare the similar criteria to the case around the Washington D.C area. And now with another missing person reported, it was up to Macy and Nevada to see if it fits the same profile of this perp to connect the present. The closer they deep into the dark truth of the Deep Run Dream Team football team and the deep secrets they kept hidden from others. When she had found she had figured it out, it all comes to ahead when she faced the killer/rapist dead on with the fight for her life.

This was a fascination debut to introduce us to Macy Crow and to care for her. I liked how she didn't let her slight disability let her down or interfere on solving the case. I liked how she also bared a deep secret that's connected to her upbringing with similar traits. I did care for Mike and how he was the man in charge as sheriff and how he never stopped loving Macy. The local setting of Deep Run, Virginia, was perfect and picturesque for this series. Not all small towns have secrets that they would take to their grave. The locations were mesmerizing and enticing to pop before our eyes. This would make you hooked from the first page and to hold on tight with non-stop action, plenty of sizzling romance, lots of drama, and a dollop of suspense to keep you intrigued to the end.

Will you take a chance and root for Macy in Hide and Seek?
