Left to Murder (An Adele Sharp Mystery—Book Five) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 711 ratings

“When you think that life cannot get better, Blake Pierce comes up with another masterpiece of thriller and mystery! This book is full of twists and the end brings a surprising revelation. I strongly recommend this book to the permanent library of any reader that enjoys a very well written thriller.”
--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Almost Gone)

LEFT TO MURDER is book #5 in a new FBI thriller series by USA Today bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose #1 bestseller Once Gone (Book #1) (a free download) has received over 1,000 five star reviews.

A woman is found dead in Bordeaux, murdered against the backdrop of its idyllic wine country, and authorities suspect a connection to a similar murder in Italy—and an active serial killer. FBI Special Agent Adele Sharp, triple agent of the U.S., France and Germany, is called in, the only one with the international expertise—and brilliant mind—to piece it all together.

Adele enters the dark canals of the killer’s mind, finding clues where others do not, and feels confident she can catch him before he kills again.

Until a shocking twist throws all she thought she knew into a tailspin.

An action-packed mystery series of international intrigue and riveting suspense, LEFT TO MURDER will have you turning pages late into the night.

    Adele Sharp is definitely the investigator, and her expertise is definitely needed because the murders take place in Germany, France and USA in California. The murderer suspect is draining his victims of their blood. Adele and John, her partner who is an Agent in Paris and her friend. Adele is the liaison
    for Interpol because she was raised in Paris and her father lives in Germany, and she was living in the USA before they offered her the job. She and her partner Agent John have a love hate relationship and this suspect has them chasing one bad lead after another. But we know eventually because Adele never gives up, she and her partner find out who is murdering these people. It is a good book. I am a Blake Pierce fan and so Adele is one of my favorite series. I love Jessie Hunt and have several others I have read because Blake knows how to write a good mystery, or suspense thriller. Read an Adele Sharp Mystery and see if you will love it as much as I do.

    At the same time, Adele works in the cases given to her by DGSI, she keeps on looking for clues to find her mother's killer, and in this book, she seems to be getting nearer to the culprit. Will she be able to find him? Her cases make her travel through Europe and she ends up in the United States following the killer. She has a moment of intimacy with her French partner, John, although both have already been warned by their boss that they should not pursue any kind of relationship out of work. Will they be able to be only friends and professional partners? Looking forward to reading the next book in the series!

    While I am angry regarding Robert’s health, sad is more likely, I’m in love with these characters. The way the relationship has played out between Adele and John has been immensely satisfying. Can’t wait for the next book.

    Adele and John investigate a very twisted series of murders while dealing with a lot of emotional issues. Her mentor is very ill while her relationship with John changes and grows. Totally love John's character and his changing relationship with Adele. This was a very interesting, creepy murder story.
  • Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2020
    AMAZING book! Very twisted killer that to a psychological mind was fascinating and very grotesque. I loved how the story unfolded. Once again I couldn’t put this book down. The clues were scarce but Adele and of course the charming and abrasive John follow adamantly until the pieces fall into place! I cried. It takes a lot for me to cry with a book but this one got me at the end. I highly recommend ALL the Adele sharp books so you get to know all the amazing characters in the books.
