This story is a crime thriller and comes in at around 250 pages. This story follows Cade, an investigator with the State Patrol in Minnesota. He is tasked with finding a killer who is murdering women. The killer has been murdering blondes and making it look like an accident. Definitely a thrilling read with plenty of twists. I thought the plot was good and the characters were well written.

Killer Blonde by Allan Evans was a thrilling 4 star read. You get pulled in right from the beginning and you put your detective cap on right along with the characters.
Cade is a detective with some experience under his belt. When he gets called to the scene of an accident he quickly discovers that there is more than originally thought. There are several cases that seem to have a connection, blonde sophisticated women dying in car accidents, but are they really?
The killer likes to stalk his targets and learn their patterns before he attacks them. Will Cade be able to figure out who the killer is before any more lives are taken?
Overall this was a thrilling nail biting read. We get a dual POV between Cade and the killer, which I loved. I like books that keep you guessing to the end on who it can be. This fell a little short for me since we discovered who the killer sooner than I would have liked to. All of the characters added a great element to the story. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

Killer Blonde by Allan Evans is a fast paced thriller- a tense game of cat and mouse between a season cop and a psychopathic serial killer. There is quite a lot going on here- with murder, mystery, hidden agendas, plots, politics, rivalry, a lot at stake, dramatic developments, danger, tension, and even a little romance. Ok, so I am not going to lie- this book had me thinking about it long after I finished, debating how I should rate and review it. There was quite a lot of promise held in the title, premise, and intriguing cover. While the overall story was quite enjoyable and did ‘deliver’ on some of the potential of the story- other elements and issues detracted from what would otherwise have been a 5+ Star rating. Cade Dawkins is at the top of his game. A seasoned detective with a string of high profile case closures under his belt. When a couple of unusual road accidents raise some concerning questions, Cade’s investigation opens up a can of worms. A serial killer is operating in the area, disguising his murder spree as car accidents. His victim(s) of choice- beautiful, tall, blondes. But we soon discover that there is far more to the story than first meets the eye. With a hidden agenda that makes the stakes even higher, Cade will need to outwit and outplay his cunning opponent, before it’s too late. The story is told from a duel POV- giving us both Cade’s and the killer’s point of view- which gives the reader a well-rounded perspective of all the developments. But, we did discover the identity of the killer only half way through the book, which I felt took away from the tightly woven tension that the author was building quite effectively up to that point. And while the rest of the story was intriguing, I felt that knowing the identity of the killer made the last half of the book less intense and suspenseful than it could have otherwise been. Overall, the story was tightly woven- with obvious research and attention to detail. But then there are some really cliché elements, attempt at adding humour using tired ‘jokes’ we’ve all heard a hundred times before, things that have done the rounds for years as memes and social media posts. As well as there being obvious police procedural errors- and I am no expert by any means, but I doubt a top cop and his detective partner would be discussing highly sensitive case details in the presence of a civilian, let alone the 17 year old relative of one of the murder victims- no matter how much she wanted to help (just as an example). At times the author used some odd word phrasing, which pulled me out of the story as my mind rearranged the word to make more sense. There are also a LOT of characters to keep track of- 65+ named characters either playing a direct role or who were referred to in the story – not to mention a slew of unnamed characters, too. There were a few other minor issues, which in the end I had to acknowledge in my final rating of this book. Don’t get me wrong, this is an enjoyable story- but I felt the author missed the opportunity to take this story to the next level as this story really does have the potential to be quite an exciting and stellar read. Looking forward to seeing what Mr. Evans does next.

Killer Blonde by Allan Evans is a fast paced, action packed story. The author has created a book that is full is suspense but also has a lighter side to it so Tom get a bit of everything with this book. This is the first book that I have read by this author and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I found it really easy to connect with the main character in his search for the killer. I also enjoyed the way the author described everything – it made it so easy to visualise what was happening. For me I felt the story slowed down in pace a little in the second half but by that point I was invested in it so it didn’t impact on my enjoyment. This is a great book full of twists and turns. I can’t wait to discover more of this author in the future.

Killer Blonde by Allan Evans is a psychological thriller. A serial killer on the loose and the best detective who is on the case. Allan is a new author to me and the story started out smack bang into the thick of things. It is fast paced and has a lot of twists and turns. The killer was revealed quite early which took some of the intrigue from the story. The writing reveals the story layer by layer a bit like Law and Order. You can tell that it has been well researched. The characters where just that, characters. I felt there was little back story to them which made it harder for me to connect. But for all that, it was a straight on cat and mouse thriller where good triumphs over bad and in the end the cops get their guy.

This is a new author for me, I enjoyed my first book and I look forward to reading more from him. This is a suspenseful story that is well developed that has characters that bring the story to life. The characters made the story enjoyable to read and they are connectable. This is a fast paced story that is engaging. There is a serial killer on the loose killing women who all look the same. The killer has an agenda but so does the investigator Cade. As the story becomes a cat and mouse game, I highly recommend reading to find out who is the cat and who is the mouse. This is a great story that has twists and turns you don’t want to miss. Don’t miss out on this book, it was worth the pick up.

But what if that type is part of a larger, more dangerous agenda?
With virtually identical women being murdered in Minnesota, panic is causing huge political pressure to get the killer off the streets. Celebrated investigator Cade Dawkins is given the hot potato case and hopes to get it wrapped up before the governor has his head. But the killer has his own agenda—one that goes beyond simply murdering knockout blondes. As it becomes a cat and mouse game between killer and investigator, Dawkins begins to realize he just may be the mouse.
