“A MASTERPIECE OF THRILLER AND MYSTERY. Blake Pierce did a magnificent job developing characters with a psychological side so well described that we feel inside their minds, follow their fears and cheer for their success. Full of twists, this book will keep you awake until the turn of the last page.” --Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone) IF SHE KNEW (A Kate Wise Mystery) is book #1 in a new psychological thriller series by bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose #1 bestseller Once Gone (Book #1) (a free download) has received over 1,000 five star reviews. 55 year old empty nester—and freshly retired FBI agent—Kate Wise finds herself drawn out of her quiet suburban life when her friend’s daughter is murdered in a home invasion—and she is implored to help. Kate thought she left the FBI behind after 30 years as their top agent, respected for her brilliant mind, tough street skills and her uncanny ability to hunt down serial killers. Yet Kate, bored with the quiet town, at a crossroads in life, is summoned by a friend she can’t turn down. As Kate hunts the killer, she soon finds herself at the forefront of a manhunt, as more bodies turn up—all suburban moms in perfect marriages—and it becomes apparent there is a serial killer stalking this quiet town. She unearths secrets from her neighbors she wishes she never knew, discovering that all is not what it seems in this picture of model streets and neighbors. Affairs and lying are rampant, and Kate must sift through the town’s underbelly if she will stop the killer from striking again. But this killer is one step ahead of her, and it may end up being Kate who is in danger. An action-packed thriller with heart-pounding suspense, IF SHE KNEW is book #1 in a riveting new series that will leave you turning pages late into the night. Book #2 is also available!

Solid 3,5 for this retired fbi agent who goes back on duty and is still very sharp.
It's a decent read, the characters in the book are lovable and completely relevant but the detective part is kinda flat.....not so interesting.
This book was a great read, I took a break from reading mystery/crime books and boy was I glad that my reintroduction was this story!
We find retired FBI agent Kate Wise back in the game after a string of murders occurs in her neighborhood. I was so happy to see the character of Kate Wise not being your typical hardass woman agent that we get so very often. Kate is a widow and the mother to an adult daughter who will be having her first grandchild any day. When this case falls in her lap she is granted a partial return to the FBI and given a new partner Detective DeMarco. DeMarco is in awe of working with Kate and fangirls for a brief moment....which was funny and made for the characters to seem so relatable.
The case gets out of control for Kate and she sees herself being “benched” but of course cannot stay in the background and does her own digging with the help of DeMarco. I was not prepared for the finale and was pleasantly surprised to be surprised by the suspect! I can't wait to read the second in the series.
