My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have read a couple of books from this author and I always get my mind blown when I read her work. I absolutely love a good mystery but this author always exceeds my expectations. This is the sixth book of the High- tech crime solvers series. You can read it as a stand alone but you might get a little confused by the back story. I was hooked on the characters right from the beginning. These characters drew me into their story and I could not stop until the end. It only took me a few hours to devour this chilling mystery.

Julie Crenshaw is an investigative reporter and she loves what she does. She is just starting to get back on her feet from her past. Julie stumbles on a new case that she takes very personally. She is brought into a sexual assault case that she needs to she needs to solve before she becomes the next victim. Julie is starting to figure things out with the detective but will they be able to keep it strictly business? Will Julie figure out who the criminal is or will they find her first?

Virtually Gone: A Mended Souls Novel (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 6) by Jacquie Biggar. As someone who hasn’t read the others in this series I found it a little slower at first but when it picked up for me I was hooked. I’m thinking if I’d read others first it may have felt a bit different but I can say it was easy to read as a stand-alone without any confusion but more of a “hmm have I missed something in the other books?” But not so much that it takes away from this book. I am looking forward to going back and reading more. The characters are complex and relatable, each one brings something unique to the storyline. I did find myself on the edge of my seat a time or two trying to read faster to see what would happen next. I’m giving this story a four star review and recommend it. Excited to read the rest.

Virtually Gone (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 6) by Jacquie Biggar is a mystery thriller book. I did not read the other books in this series but wish I would have. But it was an easy book to get into after starting to read it. I could not put this book down; I love the way Jacquie wrote this story so I will be going back to read the rest of her books. Julie Crenshaw is the main female character; she is an investigative reporter. Matthew Roy is the main male character; he is a detective and frustrated with his inability to track a rapist terrorizing his city. When Julie does not listen to the Detective will he be able to save her when she becomes the target? This was a great book to read, highly recommend

Virtually Gone (High-Tech Crime Solvers #6) by Jacquie Biggar. This book was slightly out of my normal type of reads but I absolutely did enjoy reading this book. I have read other books by this author and liked them so much that I came back for more. It was filled with crime, drama, suspense and mystery, I was not able to put it down until I was able to get to the end of the story. It kept me intrigued throughout the entire book. I can not wait to see what else Ms. Biggar has in store for us.

Jacquie Biggar
3.5 out of 5 stars

When I stumbled across Virtually Gone, I was really intrigued. Not only did the synopsis set the premise of a good story, I was drawn by the fact that this series is comprised of various authors and their contributions. This review is difficult for me as I feel my opinions are contradictory. I will start by saying I really liked the book overall. It was about 150 pages so it proved to be a really fast read. While it had my attention from the beginning, it was simultaneously hard for me to get into the storyline because for whatever reason, I had a hard time initially keeping the main characters straight. I did like the chemistry between characters, however.
I thought the story flowed well and it was different subject matter than I find myself gravitating toward regularly. I am interested in exploring Jacquie Biggar’s writing more in the future as this was my first experience with this author.

Virtually Gone by Jacquie Biggar is the sixth book in the High-Tech Crime Solvers series and it was a great read! I could hardly put this book down once I started reading it. It was thrilling, and definitely crime filled! I was filled suspense almost the whole time I was reading this! This is first novel in this series I’ve read, and while it is the sixth installment, I didn’t feel like I absolutely had to read the other for this to make sense. It would have definitely helped if I read the other installments, but this book could absolutely be read as a stand-alone and you wouldn’t be thrown off. Another novel from this author that I loved!

Virtually Gone (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 6) by Jacquie Biggar. I loved the previous books in the series so I had high hopes for this one and I was not disappointed. It can be read as a standalone but I’ve enjoyed reading them all. Its the story of Julie Crenshaw who is an investigative reporter and Matthew Roy who is a detective. Julie has come upon a case that may make or break her career. There is a string of Sexual abuse cases but what Julie doesn’t know its going to throw her right in the rapists path. Matt is ticked off because he can’t solve this case. He is ticked at Connor his partner whose reporter girlfriend seems to always be one step ahead of him. If it weren’t for Connor, Matt would have probably killed or at least locked up Julie. When the rapist resorts to murder the stakes are even higher. Will Matt, Connor and Julie use technology to solve this crime before some else gets hurt or worse murdered. Will Matt and Connor still be partners/friends at the end of this investigation? Read Virtually Gone to find out!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Virtually Gone is the sixth book in High-Tech Crime Solvers series where a group of authors have gotten together to write series of techno-thrillers, stories that have a promise of high technology and interlocking cast of characters and where one might just get away with a murder! I had read Jacquie Biggar’s Men of WarHawks series so I expected something spectacular and I was slightly disappointed! I felt that this story was not of the same calibre as the WarHawks series though overall I do not regret that I picked up a copy.
Virtually Gone takes place in Victoria in British Columbia and we meet Julie who is an investigative reporter and Matt’s partner’s Connor’s girlfriend so it makes Matt’s life, who is the lead Detective in this story, a bit dicey! Throw into the mix a serial killer, Matt’s past tragedy and you have a good formula for a great story! It took a bit for the story to really get off the ground but once it did and once I had sorted out the back stories in my head, I could not wait to turn pages and to find out who where and how and I tell you, the technology that they used for the investigations? Mind-blowing!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Virtually Gone: A Mended Souls Novel is the 6th book in the High Tech Crime Solvers series by Jacquie Biggar. There is a serial killer on the loose in Victoria and both the police and the media are desperate to catch him. There is a conflict of interest however as Julie, an ambitious reporter, is in a relationship with Connor, one of the detectives on the case. As the killer starts to escalate the race is on to catch him before he hurts anyone else. This book can be read as a stand alone, as I did, but I think you would make the most of it if you have read the previous novels, as there is some reference to a previous book. However, this is an enjoyable and fast paced mystery with intriguing characters. I think I will go back and start the series from the beginning as I really enjoyed the style of the author.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novel is part of a multi-author series about ‘high technology and technological crimes’, some of the characters cross over from previous books but, like myself you can read this book as a standalone story. This is a techno thriller which although not my usual choice of genre had me hooked from the start. Julie Crenshaw is an investigative reporter who happens upon a story that could both be the story of a lifetime and put her life at risk. Having investigated a number of sexual abuse cases, Julie ends up on the serial rapists radar herself and has to discover his identity before he strikes again and prevent herself from becoming his next target. Meanwhile, Detective Matthew Roy is in charge of the investigation to find the serial rapist and is getting no where. His investigation in not helped by the fact that his partner’s girlfriend Julie seems to be conducting her own enquiries. When the rapist also becomes a killer both Matt and Julie need to find him and fast but how. This is a fast paced book with a fascinating and thought provoking storyline and interesting characters which kept me gripped from page one. I was fully immersed in the technological crime world created by Biggar thanks to her wonderful narrative and detailed descriptions. I am keen to read the previous books in this series now and other books by Jacquie Biggar.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Virtually gone, by Jacquie Biggar, is part six of a multi author series. I jumped straight in at book six and don’t feel like you need to have read the other books in the series to enjoy this story.

The story begins with the brutal murder of a 16 year old girl, and from this a whole series of event come in to play. The past intermingles with the present, and the race is on to stop others getting hurt.
The characters in this story all have an important part to play, and they all have different issues that make this case more personal to them than others. You can feel the passion and desperation come through, and I think that knowing what drives people, and where their reasoning comes from really helps you to engage with the characters and enjoy the story even more.
The characters and the plot moves very quickly, and there are a few surprises thrown in, which keeps the story exciting and makes you keep turning the pages.
I would recommend this if you enjoy a thriller with a twist.

Oh goodness, I don’t usually read crime novels, however I really enjoyed this one.

The character development was done really well. The plot was done fantastically, as such I would assume it would be in real life of investigators and journalists, hurry up and wait type situations. Matt was by far my favorite character in this book and Julie, I would like to know more about her backstory and the leading up to this book so I may have to see if she is written in a different book. Also, I am interested in the budding romances that are forming between a few more characters, something to keep my eyes open for with this author.

I didn’t have any trouble reading this book as it is book 6 in this series, it was very well done as a standalone and I would recommend it if you are into crime investigating stories, this one’s for you.

This book had me hooked from the beginning. I was on the edge of my seat through a lot of this story wondering when or if they were going to catch this person doing these horrible things. Matt has a personal interest in catching this person and it’s making him very frustrated and on edge. This story is fast paced, full of suspense, and I love the technology used in this book. There are other great characters in this story as well. I highly recommend this book.

Five Stars

Virtually Gone: A Mended Souls Novel is the sixth book in the High-Tech Crime Solvers Series by Jacquie Biggar. Each book in this series is written by a different author featuring recurring characters and the theme of technology and crime. This is the first book I have read by Ms. Biggar, but definitely won’t be the last. I found the story compelling and the characters easy to relate to. It was fast paced and I didn’t want it to end, but I also wanted to find out who-done-it. I’m going to try my luck with the other books in this series, and also try some of Jacquie’s other books. I think she may turn into a go to author for me.

What a thriller!!! This is one of my favorite authors and this story proves why.

All I can say is WOW. This story kept me at the edge of my seat. Jacquie Biggar is one author that I follow on all platforms. Her writing style engages me from the first page until the last. She spins a story that will take you on twists and turns, ups, and downs. I have to reread some parts because there was a curveball that came out of nowhere. Her characters are easy to understand. They have defined characteristics that make you “like them” or “hate them”. In this story, I felt a connection Julie Crenshaw. She was handed a case about women who have been raped by a serial rapist. She may get herself in trouble. Detective Matthew Roy is the detective on the serial rapist. Can Detective Roy catch this rapist before there is another victim? Will Julie be careful so she does not become the next victim. I highly recommend this story to see what happens next.

I give Virtually Gone: A Mended Souls Novel (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 6) by Jacquie Biggar, 4 stars.

This is crime novel that uses advanced technology to catch a serial rapist. This takes the traditional detective novel and enhances it with the use of up and coming advancements in technology. The story itself is very good too. We see things not only from the point of view of the detectives on the case, but also the reporters they happen to be friends with. Then of course there is the view of the perpetrator. This adds another layer of suspense. I was on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what would happen next and if they could catch the killer in time.

If you are a fan of criminal thrillers that used new ways of catching the bad guy, this book is for you.

Virtually Gone: A Mended Souls Novel (High Tech Crime Solvers #6) by Jacquie Biggar

This is part of The High Tech Crime Solvers Series, but can be read as a stand alone book. This is my first read by Jacquie and I’m in complete awe. The moment I started reading I couldn’t put it down. Jacquie has a way with wording and her characters.

Julie Crenshaw, a reporter, gets wind that there are rapes happening in her hometown. After being in danger once already her boss and boyfriend want what’s best for her. Her safety. The quote I choose for Julie is: “Well, I’ll be better when I can breathe.”

Matt Roy, a cop, has been working his butt off. First, he has to hunt down a killer who was out to hurt others and now he has to find the perp raping women. He is easily frustrated with reporters trying to get one up on him. He has a need to solve this case as it hits a little close to home. The quote I choose for Matt is: “Oh, no you don’t. Go home and wait. Connor will call as soon as we have any information. I mean it, Jules. Go home.”

I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves a good crime. This has the best of both worlds, romance and suspense. Mrs. Biggar has done an outstanding job bringing these characters to life.

This was one I was super excited to get my hands on and read. I love crime and thriller novels and I also really have loved Jacquie Biggar’s books that I have read in the past. I have not read all of the previous books in the High-Tech Crime Solvers series before this one and it may be a bit why I felt like this one, Virtually Gone, took awhile to get off the ground and get gripping for me. I am hoping to go back soon and read them and hope that will give me a bit more story to jumpstart this when I reread it.

This book does keep one enthralled once it takes off. I loved Julie and her tenacity to find the answers to the hard questions and is not afraid to put herself into the line of fire if it means saving lives. She is one spunky and determined reporter. I also enjoyed Detective Matthew Roy. He is determined to find the latest serial rapist in his city and will have to face a dark and dangerous past to get close to catching the criminal. I do look forward to seeing what the other books in the series brings and if there will be more in the future as well.

This is a great crime mystery. There was plenty of suspense and drama, and the plot moves quickly. However, in some places, it seemed a little uneven and rushed. The characters were interesting though, with several storylines being woven together. It was a bit of a shorter read so I think more detail could have been added sometimes.

Virtually Gone is the first book that i have read by this author and i thought it was an interesting suspenseful story. I thought this book was well written and i enjoyed the edge of my seat feeling i had throughout the entire thing. I liked all of the characters especially the main character Julie. She is a Investigative reporter that stumbles on a case that is a lot bigger than she was expecting. This story was one of those that had me turning page after page and i am looking forward to reading more crime novels and more books by this author as well. I would recommend this to anyone that likes a good mystery/crime novel.

This mystery kept me wondering who the killer was. I loved the interaction between Matt and his partner Conner in solving the rape and killing of a teenager. Add in to that Conner’s news reporter girlfriend Julie and her boss/friend Tayler, which helped make it a more relatable story.

I was very happy to find another awesome author, Jacquie Biggar, to my reading list. You won’t be disappointed reading this book. And I will be looking for the other books in this series. So cool that they are written by different authors.

This was a great crime thriller and makes you think you never know who is watching you.

When a young girl turns up murdered and raped the signs point to a couple of other assaults that happened before but no leads to the suspect.
Matt and Connor are working the case trying to find the person responsible but neither of them realise who far back this reaches.

Julie is a reporter who wants this story and to find out who the suspect is. Will she get her story or will she end up in danger.

Its a great story that keeps you guessing who the suspect is right until the end of the book.

Virtually Gone by Jacquie Biggar a fantastic four-star read. This is number six in the High Tech Crime Solvers series and each part of the story is written by a different author, each bringing their own spin, and Jacquie Biggar always brings a spin that will keep you turning like a spinning top, as they have this way of never letting you stop to breath as you read, the action and suspense just keeps your breath just a hairsbreadth from being able to being released fully, you are always on the edge of your seat. Julie is someone you can get behind; you know why she has the passion and drive to get to the story. Its short and I was surprised that so much was able to be pushed into such short number of pages.

I’ve read a few books by this author now usually in anthologies and I always really enjoy what she writes so I was looking forward to reading this one and overall I really enjoyed it. It did take me a little time to get into the story but I fully expected that having not read any of the series previously. I thought the story had a great pace and flow to it, my interest was held from beginning to end. I loved that the plot was concealed to the very end and I enjoyed that Ms Biggar kept me guessing from page to page what was going to happen. The characters of Julie and Matthew were really interesting to read about!
I highly recommend the story and look forward to reading more from Ms Biggar in the future.

This is my second book by Jacquie Biggar. I haven’t read any other books in the High-Tech Crime Solvers series but I will be going back to read them. I have loved Jacquie’s writing style in the first book I read of hers and this was no different. I enjoyed the story and the characters. Julie Crenshaw is our main female character, she’s an investigative reporter. Matthew Roy is our main male character, he’s a detective and frustrated with his inability to track a rapist terrorizing his city. I loved this story enough that I’m going back to start from the beginning of this series. If you’ve never read anything by Jacquie- you need to. If you have but haven’t read any of this series- you need to.

Virtually Gone: A Mended Souls Novel (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 6) by Jacquie Biggar is a mystery suspense story. It is a fast paced tale with danger and drama and whilst I enjoyed the story it felt a little lacking in some places. I was a little confused to start with but I was able to settle into the characters better once learning their back stories. This is an interesting story and Jacquie threw a few spanners into the works to keep us guessing.

Julie, a reporter, is like a dog with a bone when she gets going on a story and will not walk away even if it means putting herself in a killer’s line of sight. At times it becomes all too personal.

Detective Matthew Roy and his partner are on the chase to catch a serial rapist and unfortunately the horrific past has risen again to torment him.

Virtually Gone is the sixth book in the High-Tech Crime Solvers Series-contributed by Jacquie Biggar. The High-Tech Crime Solvers Series is a multi-author collaboration, each bringing their own story to the mix while using an interlocking cast of characters as well as the high-tech crime solving theme.
I was so excited to read this book after seeing the title of this book, and series. I love a good mystery/crime story- and the ‘high-tech’ component increased the intrigue for me. Add Ms. Biggar to the mix and I couldn’t one-click quick enough. Ms. Biggar is one of my go-to authors, whenever I see her name pop up, I know I am going to be getting a great read. So having said that- I must admit that I haven’t read any of the other books in this collection- and now feel that perhaps I should have, as there were a few instances in this book where I felt as if I were missing something, or should have known more about the circumstances, but didn’t. This is the first time I have come away from one of Ms. Biggar’s books feeling just a little disappointed. Don’t get me wrong- this is an interesting and entertaining story, but I had such high expectations for it and I was expecting to be blown away by it- so I feel like there was a bit of a missed opportunity to make this book incredible.
I will try to explain why I feel this way. The story was building to be quite a suspenseful cat-and-mouse game- but fell a bit short- I think there needed to be more tension, suspense and drama. I felt that the story was a bit rushed and cut short in places where the tension could have been developed more- with just a little bit ‘more’ story and development that this book would have been stellar. Overall, I just felt like I was missing details, that important parts of the story were passed over- which makes me wonder if these details are contained in the other books of the series? While the story was quite detailed and descriptive in places- we could have done with a little less detail on the ‘scenery’ and more details on the more important aspects such as the backstory, character details, the cat and mouse game, and the ‘high-tech’ components. The depth, drama, suspense, and psychological tension were lacking for me. There were also a few contradictions in the storyline, as well as continuity issues. I really wanted to be blown away by this book and feel bad that I can’t give this the five stars that I was expecting to.

Thank you, Jacquie Biggar!
