Wildflowers Girls

A gripping FBI agent crime thriller

De: D.K. Hood

Narrado por: Lauryn Allman

In the dark pine forest surrounding the quiet town of Rattlesnake Creek, the body of a young girl lies on the ground. Her angelic blonde hair spills over her shoulders and her unblinking eyes stare up toward the sky....

It was Beth Katz’s serial killer father who made her like she is: a successful FBI agent and an unstoppable vigilante dedicated to hunting down murderers who have evaded capture. Beth will push herself to the limits to deliver justice. Even if it means killing those who deserve to die.

When the body of missing schoolgirl Brooklyn Daniels is discovered in a secluded patch of woodland on the outskirts of town, Beth and her partner, Dax Styles, race to the scene. Brooklyn and her best friend left home to pick wildflowers a week ago and vanished without trace.

Taking in Brooklyn’s body carefully laid on a blanket and the dress neatly folded next to her, Beth suddenly freezes. She’s seen this before: in the files of a cold case. The perpetrator takes two girls—one vanishes, the other is killed and left with her clothes beside her. Now Beth knows she has a twisted serial killer on her hands, she’ll stop at nothing to catch him. Even if it means going against Dax’s orders....

Desperate to find the other missing girl, Beth’s heart pounds as she puts herself up as bait and walks into the secluded forest, knowing evil is lurking nearby. With Dax watching her every move, Beth prays the gamble pays off. Can she outsmart the murderer, or did she just walk into a trap? And when Beth finally comes face-to-face with the killer, will she hand him over or serve justice of her very own?

From USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author D.K. Hood, this thrilling new series is perfect for fans of Robert Dugoni, Lisa Regan, and Melinda Leigh.

Great lead character

I love the character Beth Katz. I’m a sucker for a strong female lead, but the serial killer element is something I have never seen before. Great read and great narration.

Not the best story or performance, still entertaining

The premise is interesting but not blazingly original. A kind of female Dexter. Some aspects aren't very believable, but let it go and enjoy the ride. What I found hardest to ignore was the performance. Is it the accent I find so annoying? Is that a real accent anyway? But the narrator's attempt at male voices, particularly in that accent, is really grating. I just kept seeing SNL cast member Aidy Bryant hamming it up as a hayseed. But I still like the story enough to maybe, MAYBE sit through another. I hope the writing improves but I know the narration won't.

New, refreshing concept!

An FBI agent who dispenses vigilante justice…this is Agent Beth Katz. Beth is the product of a serial killer…and she has the same tendencies except she goes after pedophiles. After a bust in which the perp was caught in the act and killed, Beth is sent to the mountains. There she teams up w another lone wolf agent, Styles. Together, the pair must hunt and catch a killer. We meet a couple familiar faces from Black Rock Falls…and a visit to Aunt Betty’s Cafe. Familiar feel but slightly different to Jenna Alton and team. Great start to this new series.

Great listen!!

What a great book! I wish I were her and had the same opportunity! Narrator did very good at all the voices. I definitely recommend. I am now a new fan!!

Loved characters Beth n Styles n Montana wildlife

Loved the description of Montana n getting main towns right. Loved story. some of it was over the top as wdnt they warn town folk there was a child killer on the loose? but great story!

Excellent Start to a New Series!!!!

This new series by D. K. Hood is really very good. I was quite surprised to say the least! I do listen to her other series (Detectives Kane and Alton) which has turned into a Serial Killer Central series. I like the series but it is not exactly believable, it’s entertaining.
This new series is one to take a listen to if you like the mystery/thriller genre. The protagonist is Beth Katz. Her own father is a serial killer. She decides to become an FBI agent with a twist. She too is a serial killer known to law enforcement as the tarot killer. The difference between her and her father is that she only kills killers. Kind of along the same path as Dexter (if you’re familiar with that character). The difference is she doesn’t take any trophies.
As with her other series, some suspense of belief is required. Compared to real life things get done pretty quickly. But the story is good and the motives are as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and since both books 1 & 2 were released at the same time I am now listening to the second book in the series.
Lauryn Allman does a great job narrating.
This book has my VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
Thank You.

Juvenile writing with a very adult subject. Kind of strange

This book confused my brain a bit. I read it because I love the narrator and it was in the genre of books I like. The writing was oddly juvenile seeming and some instances were cheesy. I also did not realize it was about crimes against children. Great narrator. A bit of an odd book. Wish I’d known the extent of the subject matter. 🤷‍♀️

Very good

I enjoyed this book it had some characters from another series and that have it as sense of belonging

So much better reader

Reader for this series is so much better than the Alton and Kane series. I can barely listen to the other books.

Wildflower

Another amazing book story & love the fact that intertwines with the other books. I just don’t understand the different name it took for ever to find the book in USA
