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.
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.
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.
Many of us have tragic things happen in our lives. Things that are never far from our hearts and minds. In Virtually Gone (High-Tech Crime Solvers Book 6) by Jacquie Biggar , detective Matthew Roy…has just that situation. Pulled into a serial killer’s path of destruction Matt will have to deal with the pain from a past tragedy. Will he be able to set that aside to catch this killer? It’s an enlightening journey to get into his head. This story comes with a promise of a future romance. I really like those slow starters.
