My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 3 in the series and if I may be so bold , I’d advice you start at the very beginning 😉not only is it a brilliant series but to me you’ll get a fuller experience if you do it that way and references to previous characters and incidents will make more sense …..

Having read Hush and knowing the past trauma my blood turned to ice when the first body was discovered by Elizabeth’s deputies , I’m sure I wasn’t alone and instead of healing after an op she’s on her feet hunting down a killer …. It feels like the past is back to haunt Eckatdt and it’s people and someone is really out for vengeance

Elizabeth is determined to solve both her cold case and the one of late and bring those to justice of now and then but at what cost !?

My nerves were shattered but I was hanging on every word and I have admiration for her guts and her determination !

A brilliant , nail biting and thrilling read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love thrillers, and this book did not disappoint! Action packed from the start, and a great mystery to the end. This is the first book I read in the series, and it read well as a standalone. That said, I am definitely going to go back and read the first 2. I love the author’s writing style. The details lend a realism to the book and starting with a winter scene gives it a cold and dreary beginning. I am looking forward to reading more from Winter Austin!

I loved that this book was and is a wild ride that I just had to read twice. It read like a movie. That I did love plus the characters were so well developed. I loved rooting for the sheriff to catch these bad guys and she was a woman! This book was fun, thrilling and suspenseful. For it to take all those turns and twists, it sent me! Trust me when I say this is a great read!

The characters are great and the chemistry between all of them can be felt coming off the pages. This particular installment of these series was a fun read but at times felt a little drawn out and it took away from the story! The small town is rocked by murders that relate to a twenty five year old case, can the connection be made? Can the killer be caught? Its worth the read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

History is repeating itself in Eckardt County. A young woman has been found murdered with similar circumstances as a death from 25 years ago. Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit’s best friend and Deputy Kyle Lundquist’s sister was the victim of the past, and now with files of clues and determination to prove the former sheriff’s involvement, it’s going to take a whole lot of work to put the cases to rest.

Deputy Detective Lila Dayne knows there’s something she’s missing with this case, but can’t put her finger on it. Suddenly, people are disappearing, and despite having a personal stake in the case Sheriff Benoit can’t stay out of it now, especially after one of the missing people is her sister.

This book jumps right into the trouble and gets digging you deeper and deeper. It was a fun, suspenseful ride most of the time.

It is well written and thought out. I found a few spots at the beginning that I kept sticking to, but it’s a me problem, not a book problem. This is the first of the series I have read and I definitely think reading the others could give me more information and insight into the characters, but overall, I think it’s not a huge deal to jump in right here.

I’m definitely looking forward to reading more from the Eckardt County Sheriff’s Department moving forward and seeing how Benoit and Dayne solve the next crime!

Hush, My Darling by Winter Austin is available now in Paperback, Audiobook and eBook
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

Two years ago Deputy Dayne survived a serial killer’s attempt to kill her. Night after night she suffers nightmares that bring the past quickly flashing back. The killer is striking again and the team desperately needs Deputy Dayne on their side but she has shut everyone out. Will the deputy be able to put her fears aside before the killer strikes again?

Hush, My Darling is the second installment in the Benoit & Dayne Mystery series. Although Hush, My Darling is part of a series it can easily be read as a standalone with no confusion. Winter Austin writes deadly romantic thrillers that will not disappoint. Full of suspenseful twists and turns Austin has you sitting on the edge of your seat the entire book. Just when you thought you had the mystery figured out she throws another wrench in the plot. The story line was seamless, moving from scene to scene, keeping the reader engaged. I recently read installment three which drew me into this series. Despite reading these out of order, I can’t wait to get my hands on the remainder of the series. Highly recommended!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 3 of the series and it was another incredible read. Once again, I was gripped beginning to end wanting desperately to know who was behind it all.
As with the last book, the author wrote this very well. The plot twists and clues had me second-guessing myself and who I believed was responsible/what I thought was happening. I truly believe the author found their calling writing crime thrillers, they do it so well!
The characters are written very well as before and learning more information about my favourite characters was great, and strategically done. The support that the characters show each other is great and I found myself getting emotionally invested and worrying for the safety of the characters and their family. I could not put it down.
Now I have the joy of being able to go back and read the first novel. I’ll be on the look out for more from this author!

Oh man, this was a good one! I was gripped from the beginning and I was kept guessing until the end.
The author wrote this so well – the plot twists and the clues sprinkled throughout were amazingly done and had me suspecting someone then changing my mind with the small details they added. The author definitely knew what they were doing throwing suspicion one way then the other.
The way the characters were written, fit with the twists and suspicions so well whilst also being the ‘perfect’ characters. Their interactions with each other, and the support they offer was great to witness. I went through a whole range of emotions and as I suspected one or another, my feelings about their actions changed as I read on.
I didn’t initially realise this was the second book in the series and although I will go back and read the first book I don’t think I missed anything too important. The author included the important and relevant information which I likely missed out from the first book so I felt like I had all the information I needed to enjoy the story. The thing I lacked from not reading the first is likely another great story.
I can’t wait to read more from this author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit is recovering from emergency surgery and is at home trying to recoup but life does not stand still in a small town that is shrouded with secrets. As she sits at home, murder and kidnapping are taking place just like the one that happened 25 years ago to her best friend. The similarities are uncanny! Not only is she trying to solve the 25 year old case but now this new one as well. Secret calls, a camp in the woods, and the Good Ol’ Boys Club is not helping to make things any easier. Deputy detective Lila Dayne who is an outsider to the town is hitting brick walls with every turn and needs the help of the locals who don’t want to hash up old crimes or feelings. Prominent members of the small town begin to disappear and then Elizabeth’s sister has gone missing. Will they be able to find her in time or just her dead body at the end of the day? Packed with mystery and intrigue this is such a great book. Strong female leads and a bit of romance and sizzle add to the story that kept me on the edge of my seat! The setting is so like a small town and the locals behave just like those in my town hiding the truth to keep their own noses out of trouble! A definite must read!

Straight for the Kill (Benoit and Dayne Mystery, #3)Straight for the Kill by Winter Austin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elizabeth Benoit’s best friend died of an accidental overdose 25 years ago. Elizabeth suspected that there might have been more to the case but chose to push those feelings aside and move forward. Lila Dayne is a Deputy working in the same department as Elizabeth Benoit who discovers the body of another young girl twenty five years later who has died under similar circumstances. Lila chooses to move forward with the case without involving Elizabeth but that does not go well. As Sheriff of the department not only is she Lila’s superior but it also becomes personal for Elizabeth because of the loss of her friend in a similar manner years prior.

As Lila digs deeper into the case she comes up with a list of suspects but nothing concrete. As Lila struggles to pinpoint a main suspect in the case important members of the community suddenly vanish. This leads Lila to believe that there is something bigger at work and that there is more to this case than she originally thought. Elizabeth has tried to stay away from the case due to the personal issues of it, but when her sister suddenly vanishes, she must do everything she can to find her. Elizabeth and Lila must team up to solve the case and bring the murderer to justice. Will they be able to find out in time before more people vanish?

This book kept me on the edge of my seat and was action packed out of the gate. Both Lila and Elizabeth are smart, strong, independent, feisty, kick-ass women who do not back down from a challenge. I found myself cheering them on and trying to crack the case along with them. A highly suspenseful, action packed read!

Once again, this author did an amazing work of art. This book had me on the edge of my seat form the start to the finish. I still have not read the first book but did read the second one before this one and can firmly say that these books can be read by themselves, but I will for sure be going back and reading book one. The suspense in this book was just as intense as the other reads. I highly enjoyed this. The love you can tell that Elizabeth had for her friend you can tell was very real. And the way she goes about it to find out what happened is truly something amazing. But these two women are an amazing example for women helping women and supporting each other to figure this all out. I highly recommend these books if you love crime, suspense, and mystery.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lila Dayne is a Deputy with Eckhardt County who survived an attack on her life by a serial killer. Two years later she is haunted by the memories of that vicious attack. Still running from that night and trying to overcome her fears she is desperate for a fresh start. Even after moving to a small part of southeast Iowa, Lila is unable to shake her fears of constantly being watched.

Elizabeth Benoit is the new Sheriff of the department in Eckhardt County where Lila is now working as a Deputy. Elizabeth is quickly thrown from her task of stopping corruption into the solving of murder when dead bodies suddenly start to appear. The murders are freakishly similar to those of a serial killer who left bodies along the I-80. When one of the bodies portrays a sinister message directed at a member of the department it sets off a chain of events that has one member spiral out of control.

I loved this book and found myself really invested in Lila and her story. I could feel her fear and experienced the terror that went along with her as she fought through the things that triggered her. As I read along and followed her on her journey I found myself trying to solve the mystery of who the serial killer was and why they were after Lila. I was compelled to read through in one sitting to find out what was going to become of Lila and solve the mystery along with Lila and Elizabeth. I was on pins and needles as the story unfolded. This book is full of action, suspense, mystery, and intrigue. I highly recommend!

This book was such a great read from start to finish, that I couldn’t wait to know what was going to happen next. The suspense, mystery, was just amazing. The characters Lila and Elizabeth were well developed and so intriguing to read about. The twist and turns in the story were just what I needed to keep me reading and not stop. I’m a big fan of serial killer stuff and books and this was just wonderful. This was the second book to the series, and I have to say I didn’t read the first boo but that didn’t stop from this amazing, wonderful read, and I was never lost that I didn’t know what was going on. I absolutely loved this book from beginning to end.

I know I, like most people, love a good mystery that gets its hooks in you and doesn’t let you go until the last question has been answered, the last puzzle pieces have been put in the right places, and the mystery has been solved! The problem is that most of them that claim that don’t deliver. When I first picked up this book it was in the middle of a series, I had never heard of this author, and while it sounded good I didn’t hold out much hope. I am so glad in this instance to have been wrong as I didn’t have any trouble getting into this book and blowing through to the end, this book definitely delivered and I really enjoyed it. Like most books of its kind you have some familiar characters and things will make the most sense if the books are read in order but they can also be read as a standalone. You should give it a read.

A fast-paced, attention grabbing story! Although it’s the third in a series, it can be read as a standalone fairly easily. There are a lot of characters and moving pieces to this story, but once the reader has a handle on the picture you will keep turning the page to figure out what is going to happen.

I really enjoyed the setting and characters that made up the story. The plot was unique and I loved the concept of the cold case relating to present danger, it brought another element and depth to the story. Lila and Elizabeth are a dynamic duo, with Elizabeth both haunted and driven by the past and Lila with a new perspective but her own past. Can they work together to solve the case and finally bring peace to the town?

I can’t wait for the next installment, as well as to go back and read the first two!

I’ve always wondered what it would be like to read a mystery novel about small town cold cases. This story does not disappoint. It shows the true effect that something like murder can do to a small town. It affects everyone. The hard part is knowing who to trust.. Even after a surgery and years of trauma these women don’t let that stop them from putting an end to the bad guy.

The author also does an amazing job with story and world building. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elizabeth Benoit, the sheriff, had her best friend die 25 years ago. Deemed an accidental OD, the case was closed. Elizabeth always thought there was more to the story and kept the case files close.

Now that it is 25 years later, another young girl dies of very similar circumstances. Lila Dayne, a deputy, was the one who discovered the body. Since she knows about the previous case, she decides to try to keep Elizabeth out of it. Elizabeth does not take this well.

Lila is trying her hardest to solve the case while butting heads with her superiors. The case runs deeper than first imagined and there are a few suspects. Nothing seems to be adding up. On top of that, Elizabeth’s sister goes missing causing even more trouble within the team. Can Lila and Elizabeth band together and find the murderer? Read to find out!

This book is technically book 3 of the series but can be read as a stand-alone. Although I feel if you want to get to know the women better, especially Lila, you should read the previous books. It hints at a traumatic past. I enjoyed the book. It was action filled from start to finish. I sat there and was constantly on edge. Both women are well written. They are so different yet so alike. Elizabeth is stubborn, strong but charismatic while Lila is stubborn, takes no crap, and is fast to anger but gets stuff done.

In this captivating third book, Elizabeth is faced with a similar case that has happened in her town, the only problem is that case that happened 25 years ago has now happened again. With her deputies in tow, they work hard to solve this case and hopefully the case that happened 25 years ago to her best friend. This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time and definitely had me guessing the entire time as to what was happening. I was OBSESSED with getting this book read and finished, and the ending absolutely had me shook the core. Well done and chillingly well written I couldn’t help but give this book 5 out of 5 stars!

I really loved this book! Although it was very easy to follow and enjoy as a stand alone novel I would suggest starting from book one. I myself can’t wait to go back and read Winter Austin’s first book in this series, The Killer In Me. I am so excited to experience all of Elizabeth’s story from the beginning. Straight For The Kill is fast paced and exciting with wonderfully thought out secondary characters and a well crafted plot! There is also a cold case involved giving this book a whole other layer! I have always loved my crime shows so I am a big fan of this unpredictable high stakes mystery! I truly felt like this book was over too soon. Highly recommended, from one mystery lover to another!

⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

Twenty-five years ago Sheriff Benoit’s best friend was murdered. While recovering from surgery members of the community begin to disappear. When Benoit’s sister goes missing the race against the clock begins.

Straight for the Kill is the third installment in the Benoit & Dayne Mystery series. Although Straight for the Kill is part of a series it can easily be read as a standalone with no confusion. Winter Austin writes deadly romantic thrillers that will not disappoint. Full of suspenseful twists and turns Austin has you sitting on the edge of your seat the entire book. Just when you thought you had the mystery figured out she throws another wrench in the plot. I am a “judge a book by the cover” kind of gal and the cover drew me in on this one but I was sold after the first few chapters. The plot was seamless, moving from scene to scene, keeping the reader engaged. I won’t hesitate in the near future to pick up another mystery written by Winter Austin.

Straight for the Kill is a gripping mystery/Thriller that will have you turning the pages trying to figure out what is going on to happen next. The twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole story. This is a fast paced story that once you start reading there’s no stopping until you finish. When a body is found Sheriff Benoit feels a bit deja vu as it reminds her of a case that went unsolved. And there are several similarities between them. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to give to much away. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The cover art drew me in. I don’t think I even read the synopsis of the story, but really loved the cover art and spooky feel of it. Straight for the Kill is the 3rd book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series. I have not read the other 2 books, but I kind of wish I did. I felt very confused and frustrated the first part of the book. There are a LOT of characters, and some being deputies, are often referred to by their last name, and others their first name, and some nick names. I felt like I had names swimming in my heard and hard a hard time connecting who was who and what was going on. It was prob 1/4 of the way through the book before it all clicked for me. The book is well written and high stakes mystery. There is a lot going on, and the mystery remains throughout. We know that some characters know more than they let on, but not all is revealed, and that kept me engaged because I wanted to know how everything unfolded. The “who done it” if you will…. I will likely read more by this author, as the story was well developed.

Straight for the Kill is the third book in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery series. This can easily be read without having read the first two books in the series. The author gives enough background, so I did not feel lost with the different characters or the situations that arose. I enjoyed reading about Sheriff Elizabeth Benoit and Deputy Detective Lila Dayne. This was an interesting mystery because it not only contained a case from 25 years in the past for the characters but also a current case. I liked how the cases were personal for Benoit and how smart and well-thought-out they worked the different cases. This book kept me reading, and I look forward to catching up in this series to learn more about Benoit and Dayne. If you like a good mystery and topical topics such as corruption in your mystery, this is a great book to grab.

So this is book 3. However, I haven’t read the first two books and I was just fine.
I was a bit confused in some parts. But over all I had my nose stuck in this book til I finished! I read it in a few hours. I just couldn’t stop! It was like watching a good TV series (in my head of course haha) that I didn’t want to get up and go potty because I would miss the important parts!
The way that this is written, you feel like it will cool off and give you a 10 second break and then you very quickly see how wrong you are!

This is the 3rd installment in the Benoit and Dayne Mystery Books; however, it can be read as a standalone (I did) without any pertinent information being missed. I was hooked from the first chapter and this was just escape I was looking for this weekend! I couldn’t put this book down and I was on the edge of my seat. We follow the story of Elizabeth Benoit, who’s now the county sheriff, and Lila Dayne, the Deputy Detective who also happens to be the girlfriend of a 25-year-old murder victim’s brother (very important to the story :)) This is a fast-paced, action-packed story that kept me turning the pages long after I should have been in bed.

While I read this book as a stand-alone, it is book 3 in the series, it it didn’t make or break the story/book for me. This was a titillating suspense/murder story. It provides all of the elements of an amazing murder mystery: unsolved murder case being brought back years later, relationships to the victims, personal vendettas, and the forever sought after twist! This is definitely a strong, ‘can’t put this down’ book.
