I really enjoy this series, featuring Detective Katie Scott and her dog, Cisco. Katie and her partner are on the trail of a missing girl in this latest episode. There is plenty of tension and action in this fast paced read and it is well plotted too. The characters are well developed and there are some interesting new characters being introduced. The ending seemed a bit rushed but it's still worth reading. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

"Find My Daughter" was my first book in the Katie Scott series. Katie, McGaven, and (especially!) Cisco had me hooked from page one. A gripping story of missing girls, cryptic clues, and a killer who seems to have mastered slipping through the detective's fingers. The plot and piling clues kept me flipping the page. This is the perfect book for anybody looking for a fun mystery. I can't wait to read the rest of the Scott series!

This is my first Jennifer Chase book. It was definitely worth reading! I really enjoyed the plot. I would love to read other Jennifer Chase books in the future.

This is another of my favourite series. I read it in one sitting as the plot was moving quite quickly. The characters are easy to like and seem realistic so are easy to care about. I don't think its entirely necessary to read them all to enjoy each individual book since they give the basic history in each. I had a few suspicions of who the culprit was, but I was wrong. Another 5* review from me

Find My Daughter is a page-turning addition to the Detective Katie Scott series by Jennifer Chase, and it is an addictive thriller. From the very first chapter, the tension builds as Detective Katie Scott is thrust into a chilling case involving a desperate mother and her missing daughter. I could not put this book down.

Katie's investigative journey is emotionally charged, as she navigates through the complexities of family ties, secrets, and the dark underbelly of a seemingly quiet community. The character development is great; Katie shines as a tenacious and relatable protagonist, driven not just by duty but by a deep sense of empathy for the victims and their families.

The twists and turns are well crafted, leading to a heart-stopping conclusion, which I appreciated wasn't drawn out or overly convoluted. It ended with enough action and intrigue but wasn't weighed down my over-the-top fighting or over descriptions.

Overall, Find My Daughter is a captivating page-turner that combines a gripping plot with rich character development. The author has delivered a thrilling story that will keep both longtime fans and new readers eagerly anticipating Katie Scott's next adventure.

I would highly recommended this book and series to anyoe who loves a good mystery with a strong emotional core.

First off a big thanks to the publisher as well as to the author and NetGalley for letting me continue with other all time favorite series of mine. As to why it's a favorite series is because of the characters themselves and how the author always comes up with twists and turns that come out of no where .And how you get lost in the story it's no matter what . Plus though out the book you have no idea who the bad guy is , and the interacions between the main character's and the new ones had me turn to figure out who I would love to see our beloved Katie with. But over all no matter who she ends up I'm still looking forward to the next book.

I was lucky to read an ARC of this book which is the latest in a series I have really enjoyed.
What I like most about this series is the role of K9 Cisco. Adds an interesting layer to a detective series, seeing the role of the search dogs. There were a few red herrings in this book, which kept the surprises coming. Fast paced and flowing plot, and we saw more of Katie's mental state which is understandable if you have read the other books, but it does work well as a standalone book too. It's good to see the relationships she has built developing further, with not too much emphasis on her personal life. I'd like to see more of the Fire Investigator in future books too.
There were some brutal killings in this one, teenage girls going missing and arson among the main themes.
I found the ending slightly disappointing, as we had been lead in so many different directions, so it felt a bit low key.

Still recovering from a break-up in her personal life, Detective Katie Scott is forging ahead with her life. When speaking at a law enforcement conference, Katie is confronted by a woman who pleads to her... Find My Daughter. After the woman is escorted out, and Katie heads to the parking garage, Katie comes across the woman again - only this time she's been attacked. And her final words are again... Find My Daughter. Katie and her partner, Gav, (one of the all-time best supporting characters) are drawn to the missing person's case - even though it's not technically a cold case. They start searching for the missing girl, and in their investigation, discover that her best friend, Jasmine, as also gone missing. When the first girl is found murdered, it opens the case wide open and creates a multi-jurisdictional team, including Evan, Katie's friend from the military. Ms. Chase places so many twists and turns in this book - it is an absolutely fantastic read! I can't wait to see where she takes Katie next. A huge thank you to Bookouture for an advanced reader of this book. The opinions expressed are my own.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

With two teenage girls missing, Katie and McGaven are on the case. Then the on of the girls mothers is murdered and the girl found dead shortly after. With a killer who seems to change repeatedly and clues that make no sense, can they find the killer.

Wow wow wow. This was so good. It was exciting, fast paced, and impossible to put down. There were no hints to the killers true identity until right at the end. I found myself doubting some of the good men in Katie’s life. I enjoyed detective Daniel’s return and I’m rooting for a new romance! The partnership between the two main character is amazing. They are written so well and you can see how they care deeply about one another. My only gripe was that Cisco didn’t feature as frequently, but I was pleased to see feature heavily at the end. I just love that dog and the thought of him being in danger was scary.

Cannot wait to read the next one!

Detective Katie Scott is approached by a woman begging her to find her daughter, moments later the woman is dead.
Who was she and where is her daughter, Katie gathers her team and starts the hunt, then another girl goes missing.
This book kept me glued to the pages. Another winner from Jennifer Chase.

When Katie Scott is asked to find a womans daughter she doesn't then expect to find the same woman trussed up.

This book has a lot of drama. It has two brilliant detectives who make a good team and with red herrings, suspense and a few shocks this book is well worth a days reading.

I loved the way this story unfolded. I was hooked, I was shook and by the end I was gasping OMG..

Brilliant

A woman approaches Katie and begs her to find her daughter who has gone missing.
Not long after, Katie finds the woman badly injured, and the woman says to find the Million Dollar Man.

Bodies are piling up, and Katie and her team are no closer to identifying the brutal killer.

I enjoyed this thriller, Katie is one of my favourite detectives.

The book is a little drawn out, and clues are found, but none are quite enough to identify the killer, never mind find him. He is elusive and a master of disguise.
But thanks to dogged detective work, and Katie's instincts, the maniac is hunted down.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the DRC.

This series can be compared to a jewelry box filled, up till now, with 13 precious gem stones!

The stories are filled with suspense and vicious killers on the one hand, but on the other hand a good series needs good characters as well. And who does not love the dynamic duo Katie and Gav? 

Having a good partner is very important for two detectives, but they would be nowhere without the rest of the team and police officers behind them to do research, forensics, door to doors, etc. If they all work together like a well oiled machine, a baddie does not stand any chance at all.

What this series makes this series even more appealing to me is the fact Katie has a dog, who was trained with her in the military and who helps her anywhere he can. I love for him to play an important part in the books, but I also always hopes he stays safe. I could not stand it for him to get hurt or even worse...

So yes, Katie and Gav face a very intelligent killer, but he should know he could never escape them. 

I am looking forward to the next book, because of the way this one ended. 5 stars of course. Who would have doubted this? :)

Thank you

Wow! This crime novel has it all. A relentless yet charming female protagonist - a detective with a military background and a canine partner. With her loyal and competent team, Katie Scott hunts down a diabolical psychopathic killer . I loved the team’s dynamism and resilience. It’s the first novel I’ve read by this author but not the last. Thanks, NetGalley, for sending this title for review. All opinions are my own.

Wow! What a burst of excitement! This is the type of thriller I so enjoy! Multiple possibilities of subjects, a group of law enforcement officers chasing down the killer, and most of all….Katie Scott at the head of the investigation! Loved the pace and hunt!

She hears footsteps approaching, the creak of the uneven planks, then the clunk of a heavy lock. Her body is numb and she’s shivering in her pale silk gown, but she stands, ready to fight as the doorway cracks open. A blinding light overpowers her, and she falls backward. Her world goes black once again… When Detective Katie Scott is approached by a smartly dressed woman with desperation in her eyes, Katie’s senses go into high alert. Moments later, questions still buzzing through her mind, Katie finds the woman dead in the carpark, blood pooling around her, and just enough life left to utter the words: find my daughter! Great read!!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! It had great suspense, murder, mystery, kidnapping, intriguing, serial killers, a great who done it and a few crazy twists! The story was very interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This talented author has written a page turner. Secrets and red herrings…realistic characters kept the story moving quickly. I like this series. Katie is an intriguing protagonist. Her co-workers and friends rally around her. She is a dedicated person. Thanks Netgalley.
