Summary

A Wall Street Journal bestseller

Wildlife biologist Mac Barrett avoided his hometown of Scarlet Falls for years - too many bad memories. But when he receives the news that his father is dying, he rushes home only to discover he’s too late. Shaken, Mac retreats to his remote cabin seeking peace and solace. Instead, he crashes his jeep to narrowly avoid running over the naked body of a woman lying in the road. Even more disturbing, when he regains consciousness, the body is gone.

Police detective Stella Dane wants to believe Mac, even if his story about the vanishing body seems far-fetched. But when Mac’s description matches the missing woman she’s been searching for, it raises a disturbing question: How does a dead body disappear?

Mac and Stella will have to work together to find the answer and catch a psychotic kidnapper - and quickly. The killer has a deadly message to send, and the case is about to become personal....

Scarlet Falls goes out with a bang.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the gripping conclusion to Melinda Leigh's Scarlet Falls series. Once I started I couldn't put this book down until the captivating conclusion. One of my favourite things about this series is the way the characters interconnected and this book doesn't disappoint.

Our new hot hero wildlife biologist Mac Barrett teams him up with sassy police detective Stella Dane. Together they are a dynamite duo but old favourites from previous books also make appearances. I look forward to listening to more by this author and would love to see her Scarlet Falls characters crossover into other series.

Great series of books

This is the last in the Scarlet Falls series and it was just as good as the first two. There are references to events and characters in previous books but they are quickly explained and this book could easily stand alone. It was brave of the writer to feature a less than perfect hero, who had a drug problem in his teen years and had let his guilt about this separate him from his family. He returns to his home town and faces problems with his old gang, along with getting involved in investigating a murder with the h, who was a newly promoted police detective. Really good to find a competent and intelligent h who is fully capable or doing her job and does not need constant rescuing or hand holding from the H. Also good to see that the H realises this, accepts it and admires her for it. A decent romance where both H and h admit their developing feelings with honesty and face their situation head on. Mixed in with a good murder mystery that was a little gruesome at times in its detail, but kept me guessing to the end. My only slight criticism is the boss of the h who is the stereotypical ignorant police boss more concerned with public relations than actually getting the right person convicted, but he did redeem himself in the last chapters by waking up to his mistakes.

Look behind you

Great story which is completely different from the norm. The main twists come as a surprise as the lead characters aren't the ones being hunted

Excellent ending to the trilogy!

I loved everything about the Scarlett Falls trilogy - the characters and storylines were really well written and each book contained the perfect amount of crossover with the other family members and characters from the other books. Also brilliantly narrated by Cris Dukehart! It’s just a shame it’s only a trilogy as I could have read/listened to so much more from Scarlett Falls!!

Great

Love this book. I don't know if this is the last of the Barratt books but SPOILER ALERT the only improvement I could think of is to know what sentences Donnie got for the murder of Lee and Kate and the crimes against Grant Carson and the arson. Also what happened to Josh. Was he locked in a padded cell
