"The coolest detective in literature at the moment, Frank Renzi, has a new crime to solve. A VIP murdered in one of New Orleans' swankiest hotels. Natalie is a truly intelligent and seductive character. Renzi’s hunt and Natalie’s actions go beyond thrilling. This is one great author! We need more Renzi STAT!" -- Feathered Quill Book Reviews

"In this third book in Fleet’s Frank Renzi mystery series, Renzi must solve not one, but two murders that happened twenty years apart. Natalie’s Revenge is an amazingly great read! Fast-paced, well written and extremely challenging to put down. If you enjoy murder mysteries, this is one title you definitely want." -- Rebeccas Reads

I've read all of Ms. Fleet's mysteries and I think "Natalie's Revenge" is the best. Ms. Fleet displayed the many elements that make a mystery superb in this book. The characters were all so different, colorful and fun. Of course, as always, I particularly liked Frank Renzi. His banter among his fellow police officers and his girlfriend continuously made me smile; often so tongue and cheek. I highly recommend this book as a well written, suspenseful, and enjoyable read.

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2013

The book had lots of twists and turns. I found myself rooting for Detective Renzi while at the same time hoping Natalie would escape. Unfortunately for Natalie, whether she escapes capture or not, she won't escape her tortured past or the choices she's made. I liked the characters and I'm looking forward to reading more of their adventures. I imagine there will be some kind of sequel to Natalie's Revenge, because Frank Renzi doesn't strike me as a cop who will give up. I got this book free on bookbub, but I've gone on to purchase Jackpot, and may purchase the others, too. I like the author's style.

The characters are 3 dimensional, both the 2 principal ones and the secondaay. The plot is grripping. It is well edited. In short it is a masterpiece in its genre. A total suiccess. It is difficult to make a serial killer enchanting, but Ms, Fleet has done so with this one. Congatulations.

This book kept going on and on. I liked the start with a 10 year old girl being left by herself most nights as her mom "works" to support herself and her daughter, and then one day her mom doesn't wake her up for school. And so it begins. Her mother killed, brought up be relatives in Pecos. Her cousin tries to abuse her, and she eventually kills him, while always striving to find the man that killed her mom.
I kept reading. It was kind of interesting, but pretty long. A lot of stuff happens, and I kept wondering when she would get caught / killed. About 75% of the way through the book, I started rooting for her to accomplish her goal and not get caught, then.....
Then what?
I liked the main detective, Frank. I like the way our author portrayed the CIA guy looking to avenge his CIA friend that was killed. I liked the description of the lady owning Parade's Aplenty, at least I think that was the name of the place Natalie stayed at in New Orleans.
Read it yourself, it's pretty good

A murderer who has us kind of rooting for her to not be caught. But knowing she should be. I get distracted when there are errors and wish someone would let me read it for errors before putting it out. Was the name she used June Carson or June Carter? And was the truck a sixteen-wheeler or an eighteen-wheeler? The story was good.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for Mystery Fans
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2013

Natalie's Revenge is a very different sort of mystery. Yes, there is of course the killer and the detective pursuing the killer, but that is where the similarity ends. Susan Fleet writes with a compassion and heart that takes you into the minds and souls of her main characters. "Natalie's Revenge" is not so much a Whodunnit as a novel about the characters and their actions, and the reasons for the actions and effects of the actions. Instead of hating the killer, we come to understand her and on many levels wish she could have a happy ending. We understand how her past has affected Natalie's decisions and her need to take justice into her own hands. Natalie and Detective Frank Renzi are fully drawn, flawed, fascinating individuals with depth and passions that drive them. There are no card board cutout "Killer" "Cop" or "Victim" characters here. There is a handful of characters I have met in books that stay with me, and Frank and Natalie have moved into that group. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Fleet's work.

5.0 out of 5 stars The purest motive...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2013

While Mahatma Ghandi said `An eye for an eye would make the whole world blind', revenge is still considered to be the purest motive. Susan Fleet's superbly drawn character Natalie exemplifies the truth of this aphorism. The reader follows Natalie's journey as she pursues revenge for the death of her Vietnamese mother, murdered when Natalie was only ten years old. Her abused early years and struggles are vividly shown and how her motivation drives her on an inexorable path.
As her story unfolds we resume our acquaintance with tough - but vulnerable - New Orleans cop Frank Renzi, who struggles to make sense of the bloody trail left by Natalie. And as with all good series it's a pleasure to meet up again with familiar characters like love interest Kelly, police partner Kenyon and nemesis Vobitch.
As the paths of the hunter and the hunted converge, Renzi's sensibilities become confused. This is a great sequel to Fleet's two previous Renzi novels and she shows no sign of let-up in developing her protagonist character Frank Renzi. At the same time I detected strong empathy with the character of Natalie who could well have commanded, in her own right, a centre stage role in a stand-alone thriller. Mind you, the door's left open...
Another excellent read from Susan Fleet - keep them coming, please!

This was a terrific read. I enjoyed Natalie's side of the story and part of me wanted her to succeed in her mission, but I also wanted Frank to catch up with her. Didn't expect the ending.
There were a few mistakes with extra words in sentences,some words missing out of others and at the airport Natalie was wearing sweatpants but her hands were sweating and she didn't dare wipe them on her skirt?
Looking forward to the next installment with Frank.

'Natalie's Revenge' is the third novel in Susan Fleet's Frank Renzi series and the first appearance of Natalie. I came across the Frank Renzi series last December (2014) and took a conscious decision to start at the beginning with 'Absolution' and was hooked. Susan Fleet writes page-turners, so much so that I had finished all five books in the series by the end of January 2015 and can't wait for the sixth, which I understand is on the way. Curious about the author I checked her website and find she is what we call in Scotland 'a lass o' pairts', in other words a talented lady, who is also a mean trumpet player. I suggest you follow my example and, if you haven't already done so, start at the beginning. The first three books have just been made available as a boxed set - a real bargain - and don't forget the music... worth a listen at least.

Excellently constructed plot and characters that are a credit to the author. This story also provides a great introduction and insight into the title characters Natalie and Frank Renzi, which certainly does enough to entice the reader in and want to read the rest of this series. I myself will be seeking out the follow-up books.
