Never Been Found

This is the first book in the series about Thomas O'Malley. A detective based in Chicago, he is working on the case of a missing girl. The case gets more complicated when the missing girl's father is found murdered. A gritty novel with lots of characters and mentions of basketball. This book grips your attention all the way to the end.
A well written book with glimpses of American police procedures.

This is the first book in the Thomas O'Malley series. It follows O'Malley as the main detective who is charged with solving the murder of a man whose daughter is missing, presumed dead.

What circumstances led to this father’s involvement in the case of his missing daughter? With a serial killer leaving a trail of female bodies throughout the city, could both cases be linked? How deep are these cases tied to organized crime? As the case unwinds, the final solution takes O’Malley through personal and professional losses that could not be prevented. Will O’Malley find the killer, or is the killer leading the detective to a deadly frame-up of a young man who simply got in over his head? The missing girl may hold the answer, if she could only be found.

This is a gritty novel with lots of characters for you to become involved with and follow throughout. I'm not a huge fan of detective fiction and this one was one of the better books I've read. I prefer a good thriller. It offered an interesting take on police procedures.

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked this book, it is a police procedural book. It was very intense at times and sad, with a little humor. It was devastating for several families. There was painful episodes for almost all involved. There was excitement and the characters were well written. I cared about some and felt like I knew them and there were also characters I didn't like.

Great story. If I could give it 6 stars our of 5 I would. Great new author, and plot. Really easy to read.

This was a fast read, the writing was easy to follow and understand. I enjoyed the plot, and liked how all the characters came together in the end. This is the 1st book in the series, so I'm excited to read the follow up book.

Never Been Found is a murder mystery and book one in the Tomas O’Malley thriller series. You can find both book 1 and 2 on Kindle unlimited. This was my first time reading anything by this author.

O’Malley is a Long-time Chicago homicide detective who has been working the case of a missing girl . However he has had no luck. Now the girls father has been found executed and a serial killer is on the loose killing females all across the city.

This was a great mystery that can be read in a couple hours. The descriptive writing made it easy to picture the scenes. The Characters are fleshed out very well and the plot is well constructed. I did find several editing errors which was a little annoying.

All I'm all the story is well written and a great start to a new series.

Many thanks to the Publisher , the Author , and NetGalley for a ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
