Thrilling mystery that leaves the audience completely captivated and unable to turn the pages fast enough. While I was able to read this book as a standalone (this is book 8 in the series), I can not wait to go back to book one and read the rest of them! My first book from Valerie Davisson, but certainly won’t be my last! Newlywed Logan McKenna is newly married to Ben, the love of her life, and together they have settled down on the Oregon coast. Logan is over the moon to be volunteering at their local wildlife refuge, and she is enjoying her time with all the beautiful creatures that’s she working with. One day, Logan discovers a coworker dead and it’s soon after that she realizes the sanctuary isn’t what it seems. It isn’t long before Logan rounds up some local friends and they dig deep to try and uncover the real killer of her dead coworker. Twists and turns galore, will leave the audience guessing until the very end! Highly recommend!

This book is book 8 in a series. I had not read the previous ones, and I was able to follow along. There were a lot of characters which would have been less confusing had I read previous stories. Overall the story captured my attention and was a great suspense and mystery. I had several guesses on who the murderer was, but ultimately I just wasn’t sure until it was revealed at the end. I loved the action in later parts of the book as well as discovering the mysteries. Great book, and I enjoyed it!

For me, this was read as a stand-alone, and the author is a new addition to my list. This book follows the twist and intertwined stories as Logan, freshly moved and married, finds a coworker dead, and ends up engrossed with the case. Her peaceful world is quickly crumbled, as secrets are revealed, and her volunteer job at the raptor rehabilitation becomes more than she could ever imagine.
Overall, a good murder mystery, and it was very easy for me to feel engrossed in this book. I felt more in the scenes rather than just being a reader and witness. I will happily start from the beginning and have added the other installments to this series on my TBR.

Logan McKenna is back! She recently moved to Oregon after marrying Ben, her equally intriguing and intelligent husband. She is handling the Fractals remotely and spending time writing and recording new music. There’s new friends and acquaintances, a new volunteer job at the Raptor Center, and a new dead body.
Evka, the raptor vet at the center, is found by Logan when she brings in a friend for a tour – along with the red tailed hawk they’d been treating. Something is off, Logan can feel it. Luckily, her friends are equally as invested in solving the mystery.
Will they discover the killer before they are in danger, themselves? As usual, a very smart, witty, engaging story with wonderful female leads and a mystery til the end. Beautiful world building. Another win.
This is book 8 in the series but reads as a stand alone novel. Love how this is set on the Oregon coast, places I’m familiar with and miss. I liked reading the point of view of the antagonist in parts, it gives increased tension to the story, and an insight on how he feels entitled to Evka. The plot keeps you turning the page guessing at who the killer is and what will happen next! I enjoyed this novel and will likely read more of this mystery series!
This was a wonderful read that was full of suspense! I kept trying to read super fast to see what happens next.
Logan is starting her new job at the Cascades Raptor Center working with the lead vet, Evka. She is fascinated by the fierce predatory nature of the hawks, owls, and eagles, but also how caring and compassionate Evka is towards the birds. Everything changes when Logan stumbles upon a dead body at the Center and can’t shake the feeling that it’s actually a murder. Unfortunately Logan can’t just ignore her gut instincts and the murderer decides she needs to be silenced. Will she be able to help crack the case or will she end up with the same fate?
I loved the amount of suspense and mystery throughout this book. I had NO idea what direction was up and there were so many twists that kept me guessing until the very end. I highly recommend In Plain Sight!
In Plain Sight follows Logan McKenna in another action-packed mystery by Valerie Davisson. In this installment, Logan is a volunteer at the Cascades Raptor Center where she aids in caring for killers of the avian type on a daily basis alongside the center’s veterinarian, Evka. One day a killer struck but this time, it was of the human type and the Cascades Raptor Center was hit with a tragedy. Logan and her friends, Sam and Jean, teamed up to solve the mystery. Can they find out who did it and why? In Plain Sight is full of relatable characters and feelings. It is full of twists and turns and when you think you know who the killer is, a twist turns you in a different direction. I did not want to put it down. I would not change a single moment in this book. If you are looking for a fast-paced mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat, look no further.

Twists and turns This is the 8th book in the series and it was brilliant. I really like Logan, she is an easy character to connect with and is not too OTT. This book had me intrigued and anxious to find out what was going to happen next. The pacing was well done and the story was layered with mystery, suspense, action and drama. Loved the Raptor Centre setting too. Will definitely be checking out more from this author.

Logan and Evka become fast friends when Logan volunteers at the raptor center. Mia is jealous of Evka’s new friendship and Evka has a secret admirer. When Logan finds Evka dead at the raptor center, it’s clear something sinister has taken place, but the local police are without leads so the trail starts to go cold. Logan takes matters into her own hands to find Evkas killer. Logan is a great character, at the beginning she appears to be quiet and in her own new world, but quickly develops into a loyal friend who only wants to find out what happened to Evka. Trust your instincts, the answers may be right in front of you.
In Plain Sight is Book 8 in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series. Logan is now married to her best friend Ben and has settled into a routine. She still plays her beloved violin, Bella, and her music career is blossoming. Life is good and Logan has time to do the things she enjoys like going for morning runs by her home on the Oregon coast. It is during these runs that she becomes fascinated with the beauty of the owls, hawks, and eagles she encounters along the way. Wanting to learn more about these majestic creatures she decides to volunteer at the Cascades Raptor Center.
Through her volunteer work at the Cascades Raptor Center Logan not only learns more about the owls, hawks, and eagles but all the work involved in caring for them after they have been rescued. She meets an amazing team of volunteers who have dedicated their lives to the care of these majestic creatures. When Logan goes into volunteer at the Cascades Raptor Center early one morning, she is shocked to discover the body of one of her beloved co-workers in one of the wards. At first glance, it appears that her co-worker has died from natural causes, but Logan cannot shake the feeling that something is not right. Logan senses that there is more to her co-worker’s death than meets the eye because her co-worker’s office was also vandalized, and a threatening note was left for the co-worker on her blackboard.
When the police investigation seems to be going nowhere fast Logan enlists the help of two of her friends and the three of them set out to solve the mysterious death of Logan’s co-worker. Thankfully, her friends have connections, and they can uncover answers that even the police and the coroner have been unable to discover in their investigations. This sleuthing by Logan and her friends has the killer’s attention now focused on Logan. The deeper her and her friends dig the more sinister secrets are revealed putting Logan’s life in danger. She is now racing against time to solve the mystery before she becomes the killer’s next victim.
I found this book impossible to put down because I needed to find out who the killer was. This book had wonderful characters and was action packed throughout. I became immersed in the lives of Logan and her friends and fully invested in the mystery of her co-worker’s death. I found myself trying to guess at the killer’s identity based on the subtle cues the author gives throughout the book. Boy, was I surprised when the killer was not who I thought it was! The killer truly was hiding in plain sight all along! I highly recommend this book and am going to ensure that I read the rest of the books in the Logan McKenna Mystery Series. If they are half as good as this book, I know that I will not be disappointed!

This was a very interesting mystery and one I enjoyed. I had a suspicion of who did it, but did not put the clues together until the end. The setting was very intriguing and, having a raptor center near my home town, I was delighted to have such a unique atmosphere. I enjoyed the little bits of motive that applied to multiple people and they were slowly chipped away until the actual one was revealed. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes mysteries and look forward to reading more by this author. I also like the Pacific NW setting, somewhere that is on my list of places to visit!

In Plain Sight is the 8th book in the Logan McKenna series. I haven’t read them all, but have read a couple. This can be enjoyed as a stand alone book. It is full of suspense and I love that the mystery was held out until the very end. The story follows Logan and her friends, as they try to solve a murder they stumble across. The main characters are female and they are all strong leads- smart, successful, strong, etc. and I love that. This book had me captivated and I didn’t want to put it down. I struggled to learn the characters in the beginning because we are introduced to a lot in a short period of time. Most being female and I had a hard time keeping them straight. But if you have the same problem, stick it out. You won’t regret it! I look forward to reading more in the series.

This is Book 8 in this series, however it’s the first book I have read from this author. Logan is main character in this particular book. She is a newly married mom and grandma. She volunteers at the local aquarium in the Raptor Center. Initially I thought I wouldn’t like this book, it really took me sometime to get into the story itself. I will tell you that I didn’t expect what I read to be honest. It’s a good book, I feel like I would like it more if I had read the previous books.

Logan is now living a new life, with marrying Ben and moving to Oregon she is clam and relaxed. With this new life comes new pleasure and although she still enjoys her beloved violin, she has taken up running in the morning through the beautiful scenery of the Oregon coast.
This then gives Logan an idea to volunteer at the local wildlife rescue centre and while enjoying the job and caring for the magnificent creatures there she becomes embroiled within an investigation of a co-worker who she found dead within the autopsy suite, and in typical Logan style is drawn into the drama and thriller that finds her the target of the killer.
I have read all the books in this series and yet again this book is amazing. I love the character of Logan as she is strong, determined and tries to find justice for though who cannot, this book delves further into the relationships Logan hold dear to her and I loved the twists and turns with each word written and page turned. Although I believe this can be read as a stand-alone book, it maybe advisable to read the others just for some point of references and to see how this character has developed through the series but as I say this is not a necessity to enjoying this story. With these stories I always feel like I am a secondary character walking through the details with Logan and being engaged with each turn of the page.
Yet again this is a wonderful thriller and I hope that they continue so we can see more of the growth of these wonderful characters.

I always love a good mystery! This author does an amazing job of crafting a whodunnit that you don’t guess with the first clue! Logan is such a dynamic character who is so intuitive and doesn’t hesitate to follow her instincts. Her camaraderie with her friends and her stubbornness and follow through is so awesome to see as she follows the trail of the elusive murderer, even when not everyone is even sure there really is a murderer. The alternating points of view were fascinating to me, going from Logan to an unknown who is much darker and more compulsive in their thought processes. If you enjoy reading murder mysteries, this is definitely the one you should pick next!

Logan Mcakenna enjoyed volunteering at the wildlife sanctuary. She especially loved working with the raptors. Life was falling onto a comfortable routine, and she was good with it. That all changes when one of the employees is found dead at the center. Logan can’t believe one of the raptors is responsible, the evidence just doesn’t add up for her. This is not the type of book I usually read, but I liked it.

What a great book In Plain Sight was. I have not read the other books in the Logan McKenna series but now I need to after finding such a strong and fearless female lead character that is very well-written and so easy to relate to. So, Logan finds herself enjoying her new life married to Ben and living on the beautiful Oregon coast. She enjoys her time playing her violin and volunteering at a wildlife rescue, but things are not as smooth as she hoped. Upon arrival one morning at work, she finds a co-worker dead and the raptor she was doctoring dead as well., it becomes a huge mystery as to who the killer is and why. Is it the coworker’s gay lover, ex-husband, or someone not even known to Logan? Logan takes matters into her own hands to find justice for her coworker and friend but puts her life in danger in the process. This was such a great book! A real vision of true friendship, love, and the need for justice. You will not be disappointed in this read! Strong female characters lead the investigation and finally solve the murder. Great character development and edge of your seat thriller, this is a great book to be read!

This book is not in my normal wheel house of genre but was an amazing change of pace. I would consider this book an amazing palette cleanser from what I have been reading. That being said, lets get into the nitty gritty of this book (without spoilers of course). Let’s preface this with I haven’t read any other books in this series, so I can in starting fresh. Most times you will need to read the rest of the series to figure things out but I don’t feel like that is the case in this series. Granted after reading this book, I now want to go back and read the rest because it was just that good. Logan is an amazing character with a lot of depth that I didn’t foresee her having. She has an amazing relationship with her husband Ben. She plays a violin that she named (love that). She starts a new job doing something that she feels gives her purpose and is helpful. Then a murder happens to a co-worker. Well, not everyone thinks it is a murder. So, Logan decides to take matters into her own hands and investigate what happened. This book took so many twists and turns that when I thought I knew who did it or what was happening, I turned the page and found out I was completely wrong. It reminds me of the board game Clue. Everyone is trying to figure it out, you go to prove it but then there is another card that is shown and all your thoughts come crashing down. That is what kept me turning the pages and not being able to put the book down. This book is full of mystery, suspense, drama, danger, edge of seat scenes, and an amazing love story. I highly recommend reading this book and I am going to start at the beginning of the series. Reviewed by @bbohls

I really enjoyed this book! This is not my first by this author and it will not be my last! I have not read the others in the series before this one but I know I will be going back and reading them! I really enjoy the characters especially the main character Logan and the way she will not take no for an answer and finds a way to dig deeper instead of giving up. I love thriller and crime type books so it was no surprise I fell in love with this series and these characters while reading this book. I cannot wait until I can dive into another book by this author and especially in this series! Overall I’d highly recommend this book.

This book really hooked me from the start. While this isn’t my normal genre the cover and the synopsis really had me interested so I branched out and boy am I glad I did. This book was full of suspense, drama, and of course mystery and it was so interesting I was half way through the book before I realized it. While I haven’t read any of the previous book, I definitely did need to, to enjoy this wonderful authors characters and storyline. But trust me when I say I will be going back and reading this series from the beginning because it’s just that good.
This was the first book I read in this series – and I can say that it functioned well as a stand-alone. The plot was intriguing, and I learned a lot from reading it! The author clearly researches every aspect of her story and brilliantly entwines facts and details that make it feel real and authentic. I am happy to say that I will be purchasing more books in this series because I love the writing style and the mystery aspect. Another thing I really enjoyed about this book was that the main character/heroine is an independent woman who has a grown child and grandchild. You rarely happen upon books that have a detective type older than 20’s. This was a refreshing aspect. Additionally, the rest of the characters varied in age and substance. Definitely recommend!!
This book took me a while to get into, but I honestly had some personal things going on and I didn’t give it a REAL first chance. I made myself go back and reread it and give it the chance that it really deserved. I am SO GLAD that I did too!! It hooked me with its claws and held on tight! Anyways, to the book! Lol. Logan volunteers at a animal rescue center. She’s loving it more and more the deeper she becomes a part of the wildlife center. She is loving the hawks, eagles, and owls. She’s slowly becoming closer to some of the other staff too, especially the vet of the center. When she comes in early one day all things come to a screeching halt with the center. She find’s a coworker’s office ransacked and the coworker dead in one of the other rooms, along with a dead raptor she was helping with! What has she stumbled into?! No sign of what caused the death has everyone stumped. With no leads the investigation stalls, but Logan thinks there is more to this story. With the help of two friends, they look into what they believe might be murder! The killer’s attention turns towards Logan the more that they dig into the murder. Before she becomes the killer’s next victim Logan must find out the truth about what happened to her vet friend. She knows something is off, but can’t put her finger on it. Will Logan find out the truth of what happened before the killer gets to her. Will she be silenced before the truth comes out? Will she be the killer’s next prey? What about her friends helping her? Will the killer get them too? Will the killer get away with the vet’s murder?! And possibly theirs too? This mystery thriller will hook you in! I read this book as a stand alone, but there are more to the series that you can read first. It isn’t needed, but I personally can’t wait to read the others in the series. I also LOVE that the book is about raptors and it touches on a great cause of saving these beautiful wild creatures.
I loved this book! I kept trying to guess the plot along with the main character Logan and I also kept asking myself what I was missing and the answer really was in plain sight. The characters were engaging and all had their own personalities, which the author was able to portray through the writing. I will also always know a fun fact about turkey vultures that I would have never probably known before, even though they are a common bird in my home state. This book flowed well and was very easy to read and several times I had to convince myself I needed to put the book down to get other things done. I was able to keep all the characters straight-which is something I sometimes struggle with in books. This is definitely a book I would read over and over again.

Everyone loves a good mystery, and this book is one of those. I am coming in late but excited about playing catch-up. Logan was an exciting and delightful character. Finding a calling by volunteering at the bird sanctuary she appears to be acclimating to her new life, and marriage. When she stumbled upon a murder, she becomes her own detective and starts a hunt for the killer. The further she investigates is when things pick up as she herself becomes a target. There is drama, danger, humor, and an all-around lovable story.

Logan McKenna is a badass character that everyone will fall in love with within the first few chapters. She’s married to her soulmate, Ben who seems to be her perfect match. If you’ve read any of the previous books in this series, you’ll recognize this book continues with their story. As per usual, suspense and mystery seems to follow them everywhere.
As a fan of crime mysteries, I felt this book was an impeccable addition to this genre. I also enjoyed the details regarding the beautiful winged friends described within the storyline.
I felt as if this story had a perfect amount of plot twists that will keep the reader intrigued and second guessing themselves when trying to figure out what comes next. This is anything but predictable.
The author did a fantastic job and fans of this series will be overjoyed with the new addition. For those new to this series, I think they will enjoy this book and want to grab another from the series or start at the very beginning.
This book had great imagery, a beautifully designed plot and fantastic characters.

I’m becoming a huge fan of suspense novels, and this one is definitely feeding the addiction! Logan is our main character, and she is awesome! I love how she is portrayed as a strong independent woman who has found a partner in her husband Ben that compliments her. He is part of the story without being overpowering. Our other main characters are Logan’s best friends, Jean and Sam. When tragedy strikes at the Cascade Raptor Center where Logan volunteers, things don’t quite add up. The CCC, or Cormorant Coffee Crew, take it upon themselves to investigate into the mystery. Sam is an investigative Journalist and Jean is a Medical Examiner. I loved the mystery and suspense of this one. The characters are extremely well written, and the world is fleshed out perfectly. I also loved all the facts and “interactions” with the raptors at the Raptor center. Ms. Davisson did her research super well and made me want to run out and find a similar center to volunteer at!
I fell in love with Logan and Ben from the first page. Logan is living her best life and volunteers to look after raptors at the local wildlife rescue centre. Then her co worker is found dead and Logan feels obligated to investigate. I would recommend this fast paced crime thriller. It kept me hooked from start to finish.
I’m a little picky when it comes to my Mystery books. Wow am I glad that I took a chance on this one. Settled in the backwoods of Oregon, you see Logan McKenna playing her violin named Bella, and married to her long-time beau Ben. They are thoroughly enjoying the married life together, and Logan working at the wildlife rescue center, everything is bliss, until one day one of Logans co-workers end up dead. Was it on purpose or was it accidental? The writer leads the reader on a wild goose chase with left and right turns and feels like ad adventure. She leaves just enough to keep you going. I really enjoyed reading this book. I discovered that this was book 8 in a series, but it felt like I wasn’t really missing anything important. The word building was phenomenal, and well executed! I think I may just go back to the beginning and see where this all started in book 1.
