A Gripping Read with Multiple Twists!

Presumed Dead by Colleen Helme is yet another thrilling installment in the Shelby Nichols series, and I must say, this one really takes the cake! Helme weaves together a tapestry of suspense, humor, and relatable characters that keep you hooked from start to finish.

What I particularly enjoyed about this book is the variety of cases Shelby encounters. Each mystery adds an exciting layer to the story, making it feel like a wild ride filled with unexpected twists and turns. I loved how these cases interlinked, showcasing Shelby's unique problem-solving skills and her ability to juggle multiple challenges at once. It’s a true testament to Helme’s talent in crafting an engaging plot!

Shelby continues to be an endearing protagonist, and I appreciate her evolution throughout the series. Her witty banter and strong sense of justice make her a character you can't help but root for.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the book, I felt that some plot points could have been developed a bit more, leaving me wanting a deeper dive into certain characters’ backstories. However, this minor quibble doesn't overshadow the overall enjoyment I had with this read.

If you’re a fan of mysteries with a touch of humor and a strong, relatable heroine, I highly recommend Presumed Dead. It's a fantastic addition to Shelby’s adventures, and I can’t wait to see what Colleen Helme has in store for us next!

Unexpected

Shelby gets herself into a lot a tricky situations, but it was an unexpected twist to have Chris, her husband, the one in trouble. Fun listen & can't wait for the next adventure!

Keeps getting better

Love these books and narrator! I can’t wait for book number 19 to come out!

A bit of “edge of your seat”.

It started out pretty tame and then ZOOM!
I always love, how Shelby manages to keep it together, in this one she loses it, but gets back up.
The first part is one, at times, nail biting adventure, the second part was heartbreaking at times.
And what Uncle Joey, makes Shelby do, is the icing on this wonderful story.

Best ever

One of my favorite series. I’m always so excited when the next audible in the series is released and each time the new release is better than the last. It’s so exciting ,
