At Bay (Book 1)

The murders are unspeakable.

The sin unforgivable.

Has the nightmare just begun for FBI Agent Alex Troutt?

Alex was living the American dream. Until her violent crash.

As Alex begins her daunting quest to uncover the black spots on her memory, a dead body is discovered in a murky Boston bay. What she finds doesn't make sense.

The ritualistic slayings begin to stack up—and Alex is forced to plunge deeper into the investigation. Is she unwittingly falling into a trap? Just as Alex uncovers the killer's twisted motive, she's gutted: Her FBI and family worlds collide. And the resulting explosion tears her in two.

Can Alex piece together the jagged fragments to save her family before it's too late?

At Large (Book 2)

Twisted vengeance. A kill list. And a bizarre riddle.

Recruited to investigate a string of grisly murders, FBI agent Alex Troutt is without words. The mutilations are unlike anything she's ever witnessed.

The slayings don't stop. There is no pattern. With the aid of a CIA agent, Alex tracks the assassin down the east coast. But every step forward proves to be a step too late, the kill list seemingly endless.

And then the killer turns it up a notch. It's a vendetta unlike any other, because a killer must make it personal.

Alex has no other option: To end the murders, she must confront the person who destroyed her life. And when she finally learns the killer’s end game, every second counts if she has any hope of stopping the brutal murders.

The hunt will end. Will Alex?

At Once (Book 3)

Is it a vow to honor those who perished...or the work of a ruthless vigilante?

Boston Strong of just a few years ago is now Boston on edge. And this time the targets are men of the cloth—priests. Could Alex's friend and colleague be behind these bombings?

Alex is torn between her loyalty of friendship and her FBI oath. But what price will she ultimately pay?

Bloody Sunday. The IRA. The movement toward peace.

Wounds of decades ago have reopened, bleeding all over Boston. As Alex pieces together the puzzle, she wonders how innocent her colleague really is.

How far will someone go to make a stand?

A stunning thriller series with intrigue and suspense that will keep you up all night.

Really Good

This is an entertaining series. It has the perfect balance of professional and personal relationships. The characters and plot are realistic and engaging.

Poor voice

Most of the time she speaks to fast. Voices for other people almost laughable good story

Good but I Like Mefford’s Ivy Nash Series Much Better...

I listened to Mefford’s Ivy Nash series first and I loved all the books. The Alex Troutt series is good but not my favorite. I just don’t really like His Alex character. I find the humor too flippant. I tend to like dark and witty humor. As other reviewers, have said some of the scenarios, like falling and face planting into someone’s ass, is not witty and something I would expect from a series geared at teens.
With that said, Mefford can created vivid characters and entertaining plots. This series has more foul language then the Ivy Nash series. Bentley does a good job narrating.

Bana- the most ridiculous agents by book 3#.

there are parts of these books that are good, the basic storyline was a good theory but then there are some of the most ridiculous things the agents do, kills the story. no matter how I tried, the stupidity just ruined the story. I know there needs to be tension braker in a story sometimes. come on. for me. book three is the most stupid. department head goes rouge, drunken agents. kids on a stake out. give me a break. you were reaching for something and missed. you had a good start but lost it halfway throw book two...

Alex Trout Thrillers

I cannot listen to this book! The verbiage of the entire book makes me so uncomfortable. I started it 3 separate times to see if I could do this- but I cannot listen to adults and children speak (in my opinion) so vulgar and act like this is normal.
