Killer Blonde by Allan Evans was a story full of suspense and drama with a dash of comedy. The crime aspect of the novel made it such a fantastic read. The thriller had me at the edge of my seat the whole time.
Investigator Cade Dawkins is given a time-sensitive case the pressure of getting the job done. The governor is putting the pressure. The killer has plans that no one can expect. They turn the investigation into a cat and mouse game; no one knows who is the cat or mouse.
Suspense and thriller isn’t my usual read, but this was such a good book that I might read some more of these kinds of books.

When there is a serial killer on the prowl, will Cade be able to solve these gruesome murders and catch the killer.
Cade has been assign a case which will take all his years within the police to try and track and catch a serial killer who is killing blonde glamourous women. As Cade investigates the killer becomes more invested within the cat and mouse of the chase and will either one of them win this deadly game.
I have to say I was looking forward to this story but at times I was a little disappointed in the book. Although the story was full of twists and turns the actually sleuthing was not that difficult to predict who the killer was, it also was a two POV conversation of the two characters which was great but did not leave much to the imagination with for me is the best part of a book.
With that said the overall story was constructed well and flowed through the story very well, there were a lot of characters within the story to sometimes keep track of which did detract from the story some what sometimes but the main characters hold the tread through the book. All in all the book is a great read, I would like to read more by this author in the future.

Loved every minute of this crime mystery! From the first page, I was captivated by the authour’s flow and competent ability to draw the reader in close. The writing style was completely engaging; the plot grabs you immediately, and the fluidity is masterful. I was hooked and settled in to read happily. Our hero, Investigator Cade Dawkins is smart and loveable – he is a standout among officers, and notices the pattern in killings before anyone else. As he pieces together clues to solve the brutal murders, the mystery winds in on itself, and he seems to be the only one that can untangle the web. As the game of cat and mouse races toward the finish, we increasingly have to wonder – who is the cat , and who is the mouse?
I wholeheartedly recommend this book for crime and mystery lovers, or anyone who appreciates an amazing storyteller and writing.

Killer Blonde by Allan Evans a fast-paced four-star read. I enjoyed the story and found it to be very good, but there was something missing, the pacing was very good, fast enough that your heart raced what felt like the whole story, but it wasn’t too fast that you couldn’t follow the story, that’s a great balance to find. The way the story is laid out is very good, it really gives you such great prospective, it does solve some of the mystery but that wasn’t an issue for me as there was still enough hook to the story. Overall a good story, just needed a little more polish for me.

Killer Blonde is an edgy thriller that will keep you invested and desperately trying to solve the mystery. Allan Evans is a new author to me and it has been years since I have read a book like this, or enjoyed it so much. A deadly game is entered, and the race against time begins. There was an urgency to catch the killer and prevent any more women becoming this cold blooded murderer’s next victim. There is nothing better than reading the events unfold and trying to guess who would commit these heinous crimes. The author engages his audience smartly and entirely. I am always thinking who could do it and asking why. I always like to know what makes a criminal tick and what could possibly cause someone to do these unthinkable things. Cade Dawkins has his work cut out for him and political pressure to close the case. Killer Blonde was an intense and vivid thriller that keeps you thinking about it long after you finish reading. 4 stars.

This book had me hooked from the frist few pages in. There a killer on the lose and he’s for a type. Two murders two near identical victims is this coincidence or not. Cade working the investigation.

I really enjoyed this story. The twists and turns definately keep you guessing in this cat and mouse game. The author does a fantastic job of gripping you from the first page and you can’t put it down until the end.
There is a killer on the loose. He’s targeting tall blonde stunning women. He bumps into them on deserted highways and kills them. No one can figure out why or how he finds his victims. Is the killer just after more victims or is there another motive behind his murders.
Cade is tasked with the case of finding this murderer. After his success on a previous case it has heightened his image and his place in the ranks. Now he is on the hunt for this murder before he strikes again.
With cases turning up from Chicago as well which left the lead detective there dead Cade is also wondering if he needs to watch his back as well as watching out for another victim.
Will Cade stop the murderer before he strikes again? How can the murderer be hiding in plain sight and not be noticed? And will Cade have met his match this time?

This novel has it all: murder, mystery, hidden agendas, plots, politics, rivalry, a lot at stake, dramatic developments, danger, tension, and even a little romance. The interesting part about the story was the serial killer’s point of view. What he may plan next was what kept me going on. This novel had me putting it down a lot because it was getting to be a bit much. The characters are great but when things pop up in the middle that doesn’t have any relevance to the story it gets a bit confusing for me. Overall it is a great read as long as your not a blonde.

Killer Blonde by Allan Evans. This is a new author to me and I’ll definitely be looking for more. This was a great thriller. I was definitely on the edge of my seat more than once and it kept me guessing. I liked the different POV we got. This book definitely had a lot going one but I never felt lost or confused. The characters are complex and had me so hooked I just couldn’t put this book down. Definitely found myself watching something fluffy after the journey we get to go on in this thriller that had me reading well into the night. I can’t wait to see what else this author has to offer. Four big stars and highly recommended.

I loved reading the book Killer Blonde by Allan Evans. It is a story that pulled me in and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a book that had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. The story is written in such a way that I felt I was right there trying to solve the mystery.

Read this book to find out. This is a story that includes danger and suspense. The author does a wonderful job of making the story and the characters come alive.

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.
