Publisher's summary

Family man or deranged killer? It’s for fearless PI Jessie Cole to find out. At any cost.

Ever since a car accident left reporter Ben Morrison with amnesia, he’s been trying to rebuild a future as he puts together the pieces of his past. With the help of PI Jessie Cole, he’s getting closer. But few who remember Ben’s troubled childhood want to talk. And those who do—including his father, imprisoned for a shocking crime—are stirring disturbing memories given up for dead.

Then Jessie is sidetracked by a surveillance request from a suspicious husband. An ordinary case, until the cheating wife and lover are found murdered. They bear the trademark wounds of an elusive serial killer who’s now leading Jessie down a chilling path—one that’s about to put a dangerous twist in the search for Ben’s identity.

To discover the truth, Jessie must put more at risk than she ever feared. Because there are more secrets to Ben’s past, than she—or even Ben—ever imagined.

Absolutely awesome..

WOW! I love these Jessie Cole books. I got this yesterday when it came out and I highly enjoyed every word of it. And, still, you’re left wondering about who and what Ben really is. The amnesia part of him is very exciting. I like to think he’s not a killer and it will be proved eventually. If you read the other two books you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you haven’t read this series you’re missing out.

This was all about a serial killer that started killing people who had testified against anyone that was sent to prison, and then changed his victims that just fed his need to kill, and then back to his original victims, or their families.

There are some great characters in this series besides the “stars” of the book. Zee is fantastic, she’s a schizophrenic who has Lucy, Marion and Francis in her head BUT this book they were pretty quiet. She works for Jessie’s Private Investigation Company. And I adore Olivia, Jessie’s 15 year old niece, and I like that she’s portrayed as a nice sweet kid and not a complete jerk. And I like Colin, Jessie’s love interest. He’s a detective so they don’t get to see one another too much but he does have a large part of the book, whether it’s in the squad-room or on the phone with Jessie. And Detective Ren, who I was skeptical about in the beginning but he turned out to be pretty cool.

No real romance in this and the F-bomb was used 37 times.

As to the narration: It's Kate Rudd! Need I say more? A fantastic narrator. The voices are great and her emotions are awesome.

Deranged by T.R. Ragan

3rd book in the series and a really great addition! Highly recommend this exciting series! Start with book 1, it's the best way to enjoy the tale.

Loved it? Definitely!!!

Loving this series...however, I'd love to see the Ben-storyline wrapped up one way or another. I'd love if he does ends up truly being a good guy...before and after the amnesia. Ragan could explain away all the "strangling flashbacks" as drug-induced by a crazy villain, or some kind of exotic one-in-a hundred-million brain disease or better still, some other tale that only a magnificent writer like T. R. could weave together. I've been binge-listening and now I move on the Book 4. 👍🏽

Good Book in this series. Excellent narration!

This was a good book in the series. Not my favorite but still good. I really enjoy these characters and the character development.

The story line and plot was good, a few questions are answered and there are a couple twists and turns. There is a lot of great dialogue throughout the entire book. The story flowed very well and was easy to follow along. Especially if you have read the first two books in the series, which I recommend.

As for the narration, it was fantastic. I am a big Kate Rudd fan! She does a great job on all her voices, especially the male voices. Everyone gets their own distinct voice and her reading voice is great. She reads with emotion as called for.

Suspensful!

I found this to be very full of suspense. It took a long time to figure out who is actually the bad guy. It was entertaining, and interesting which is what any author wants.

another great book

another great book. it gets you hooked fast and keeps you in it.

ready for the next one.

Love Jessie Cole series

I’ve never loved reading and I’ve found audible and these books. I’m addicted. Hoping for more books in the series!!

Happy to have another one

This series has been so great. All the characters just grow on you. The suspense and intrigue keep you going until the final page. I personally have enjoyed learning so much about Ben. One minute you think he is a horrible murderer, then the next you are thinking no way. Also Z is one of the most interesting of them all. I love how her mind works. I just laugh at her silliness. I cant get enough of this series.

Good good good!

it gets better with each book in the series. I cannot wait to read the last one. thank goodness Higgins is ok. team Ben all the way. hope I don't regret that lol

Best one so far

I’m enjoying this series from T.R. Ragan. I listened to these three.books in quick succession, partly because one story leads into the next with Ben’s story remaining a mystery until it is resolved in this installment. So as I read, I was frustrated by the semi-cliffhanger endings, but since I was able to read them closely together, all is forgiven when the last mystery is solved!
