This is the first book in a new series about a detective named Harry Hunter. I love the fact that many aspects of Willow’s books come from true accounts of real stories. The research she finds and puts together to write such amazing spellbinding books requires time and effort and yet she continues to give us these wonderful books month after month. Harry Hunter is going to be a star he has the determination to do what is necessary to get the job done no matter what. Thanks for making my hours so entertaining!
“You can’t be pitiful and powerful at the same time,” – Harry
Having an invalid wife at home and a young daughter to take care of kept Harry focused. But sometimes, in the deep lonely hours, he wondered…. Wondered why his wife had done what she had done… No answer was forthcoming, and probably never would be…
Harry Hunter is a cop; a bred into the blood and bone cop. But the powers that be aren’t happy with Harry; no, not at all. Finding himself assigned as a body guard to a surly, self-entitled teenager isn’t Harry’s idea of police work, but he’s determined to see it through…
The horrific deaths of several young women, all “good girls” and the disappearance of another distracts Harry, but not enough to keep him from his assignment; that is, until an obscure clue captures his attention, and sends Harry down a dark and dangerous path…
Harry soon finds himself and someone he cares deeply about sinking into a quagmire of half-truths, lies by omission and a hidden malevolence that threatens to destroy everyone…
Highly recommend this one!!!
OMG, I honestly could not put this book down until I had finished it, cover to cover! Fast paced, wonderful realistic characters & definitely a page-turner. Harry, Camille, Josie, Jean, the whole gang’s lives couldn’t have been more complex but realistic at the same time. I’m so looking forward to Book 2 in the series! Fantastic job, Willow
Oh Willow you have done it again! I get my hands on one of her books and I just can’t put them down. This one is no exception. There are so many who could be the culprit but you don’t know until the very end. Great job Willow. Thanks for the great read!
A teenage girl is found murdered, her body in a dumpster. Four more teenage girls are found murdered while on a boat. What ties all these deaths together? All of them attended the same high school were witnesses to another crime.
Detective Harry Hunter is on his boss’ last nerve. Harry does things his way … and they usually get good results. These days, he’s dealing with a wife who has been in a coma for several years, a teenage daughter, and his irascible father. He’s never where he’s supposed to be and today is no different.
He’s assigned to protect another student who may be a possible future victim. As usual, things pop up, the student is left to his own devices and someone else dies.
This killer is known by a lot of people … his father is wealthy, a mover and a shaker…and everyone is afraid of what he can and will do … even most of the homicide department.
Harry is on his own ….
The plot is what attracted me in the first place, but the story line fell somewhat flat. The book seems to center on his personal life, although he is an excellent detective .. when he shows up for work. There’s lots of action, but most of it is just unbelievable. The ending was quite spectacular with the taking of someone close to Harry … the conclusion was left as a cliff-hanger.
Many thanks to the author / Buoy Media LLC / Netgalley for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

This one will keep you guessing until the last page. It’s scary and well done. I loved it in audiobook.

This is a 3.8 star read. It is the type of suspense book you sit down and read in one sitting and enjoy for the rush but then move on. But the author invested time and developed a very likeable cop with a family and a grear track record for getting the bad guys off the streets.
Harry Hunter has a teenage daughter, Josie, his dad that helps out, a friend, Jean, also a nurse that helps out, and Camille.
Camille, his wife, overdosed on drugs and is in a nonresponsive state, living at home. Harry hates drug dealers. His boss now has him babysitting a rich brat, William, in Miami. It seems kids Will know are being killed and Will must be kept safe.
Problem is Will is a teenage,sociopath and not a victim. Witnesses lie, hide, disappear. Then there’s Lucy, teenage girl, gone after her rape case against Will is dismissed. Harry wants to find Lucy. And not lose his job and deal with a teen daughter and Camille.
Lots of action, surprising violence in the school, people afraid to speak, and where is Lucy…is she dead?
Great action scenes, police procedural, family situations, and a twist near the end. It is first in a series.
Detective Harry Hunter has a special hatred for drug dealers. His wife was an addict when he met her and has been clean since. They have a beautiful (now 14-year-old) daughter and should be happy. But 3 years ago, she relapsed without any obvious reason or signs, and overdosed; However they saved her life, she’s been in a coma ever since.
His boss Major Fowler has enough of his violent outburst against drug offenders and takes off the drug squad and wants him to focus on a new case. 4 young girls have been viciously slaughtered on a boat that belonged to one of their parents. A 5th girl has been found murdered in a dumpster. All of them were witnesses to an alleged rape a year earlier but refused to acknowledge it happened. The raped girl herself went missing 8 months ago. Hunter is not supposed to look into the case; his boss wants him to act as bodyguard to the alleged rapist. He despises the boy immediately and that only becomes worse the more he gets to know him. Police suspect that the missing girl is their killer, but Hunter doesn’t buy it.
The eventual solution wasn’t far from what I assumed but of course, there was an unexpected twist. The story is too short for any real character development, but the actors have interesting personalities and there’s real drama brewing up for the next tales.
There was a bit too much religious talk and praying in these stories for my liking, but as Harry’s dad is a pastor I can understand it to an extent. It may be what American readers like, but it doesn’t add anything to the story.
This is only the first instalment o a trilogy that’s best read together as that what appears to be the background story becomes the main focus later on.
Read all three Harry Hunter mysteries. Loved them.
Another amazing book, plus the beginning of a new series from one of the most talents thriller writers, I have ever read.
Harry Hunter just might become my favorite by Willow Rose.
This book was fast paced, exceptionally written with a shocking ending I did not see coming. Can’t wait to begin the next book.
It’s wonderful to be back with another Willow Rose mystery. I devour her books.
Harry is on the hunt…for drug dealers. He had been removed from the narcotics police squad because he was always beating them up and getting beaten in the process. His wife was a vegetable after a drug overdose, so that explains his motivation. He takes care of her with the help of his neighbor and his wife’s best friend, Jean. He is always in trouble at work, being late and disobeying orders.
After the fifth death of a group of students, he is assigned to protect a possible future victim. The more he learns about him, the less he cares about him. I love to hate villains, but there is so much more to the guy than I anticipated. He is arrogant, a bully…reveling in the torture he heaps on his victims. Is he a sociopath? A psychopath? Does it matter? Evil is evil.
But, is he the killer? We have plenty of suspects. I kept bouncing back and forth, trying to figure it out for myself, but Willow Rose doesn’t make it easy. Some seem too obvious, and knowing Willow, I am sure she is going to twist and turn me round and round until the end.
The turn Willow took with this mystery was a surprise, and I love book surprises. Secrets don’t stay secret. And they can be used against you. In this instance, it is taken to such an extreme no one is safe from his manipulation. How far would you go to keep a devastating, life destroying secret? How far would someone else go to use it against you?
All The Good Girls by Willow Rose is one wild rollercoaster ride. She has an ability to surprise me with the unexpected.
All The Good Girls, and the future Harry Hunter novels, are shorter stories, with a pace so fast it’s hard to keep up and the suspects so numerous I couldn’t put it together. Love it!
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of All The Good Girls by Willow Rose.

Oh, good! Back to the Willow Rose I love (without sex and language)! Apparently, this is a new series, and I’m eager to read the ones that will follow. Harry is a most interesting detective and a good man, as well. He investigates a series of murders that he wasn’t assigned to and gets in a little hot water from his boss but is forgiven when he solves the case!
There is a bully in the high school-who has everyone including the teachers scared of him. When he is accused of raping a girl while others watched-he threatened them all to keep their mouths shut so he got off as innocent. Then girls from that high school were being found murdered—
Harry Hunter of the Miami PD’s homicide squad, where all this occurred, never really followed the rules. He was tasked with protecting the bully. To say the least he was not too happy about this! But he needed the job since his wife had been in a coma for 3 years. He had her at home where one of her friends helped take care of her and helped with his young daughter.
Even though he was not supposed to–he kept following the case trying to solve it–things kept happening–disturbing things.
This one has so many twists and turns it will have your head spinning–the ending will shock you as well!
I definitely am going to have to keep reading this series!!!!
Now THIS is the way to start a new series!
All the Good Girls who witnessed a crime are being systematically being eliminated. Detective Harry Hunter is hired to guard the alleged perp, a spoiled, smarmy kid who doesn’t think rules apply to him. Harry has dogged determination to follow the clues, even though it puts him at odds with his assignment. This new series has suspense, characters both lovable and despicable, and a protagonist that’s battling demons both on the job and at home. The reader wishes love for Harry and his daughter, as they try to cope with the emotions and demands of taking care of a wife/mother in a drug-overdose vegetative state. I did NOT see the book’s twisted ending coming! Can’t wait to continue reading the story of Harry Hunter in Willow’s next book!
Like this authors books. A little different from what I usually read.
The story introduces Harry, who is a huge cop. He is on a vendetta against drug dealers because his wife is now living, unresponsive, due to an overdose. He has a daughter, a father, and a neighbor who have been helping him care for his wife at home. He is neglecting his duties as a police officer because of his late night activities and the care of his wife. When young girls are getting murdered, Harry doesn’t get the case, but instead is put in charge of protecting a bad boy who had been accused of rape. The boy seems to have something on everyone and enjoys causing them pain. This is a fairly quick who-dun-it book with interesting characters. It ends on a cliff hanger so if you dislike those, this isn’t for you. This book IS for people who enjoy well written suspense books. There is some violence in this book. I recommend it.
A phenomenal start to an exciting new series! Suspense, action, malevolence with twists and turns that will pull you into Harry’s world and keep you intrigued with its realistic characters and a well-constructed plot. It will definitely keep you guessing, I can’t for the next book.
Willow Rose has written a new series..but with the same fast-paced grit of her other novels. In this series, Detective Harry Hunter is our hero. Girls from a nearby high school are being brutally killed. They all knew each other and they all shared a secret. Harry is sent to watch over one classmate in particular, but he sure isn’t happy about it. He’s not a babysitter and he doesn’t like it one bit. But if he wants to keep his job, he has to toe the line. But not all goes easy for Harry and he finds himself with almost more than he can handle. I received an ARC of this book from the author. The above comments and review are my honest opinion.
Harry Hunter is a Homicide Detective in Miami. His boss is unhappy with him, and assigns him to guarding a young man who everyone considers guilty of rape. Harry quickly realizes that there is much more going on than anyone else suspects. Can he prove it before anyone else dies?
Wow! Action, and suspense, in a convoluted plot with many unexpected, and surprising twists that kept me on the edge of my seat. Fascinating, and compelling characters. I loved Harry Hunter. This is definitely a must read, and a wonderful beginning to a new series. Fantastic book!
I am voluntarily leaving an honest and non-incentivized review of this ARC.
