Nothing to Hide by Allison Brennan is mysterious thriller. One that led to four murders. But with each killing there is never any solid evidence that led the police officer nor his FBI partner to finding the killer. There's only circumstantial evidence that kept on building up. Plus, there's a witness. But even that might be let out of the courtroom due to the age of the witness. So much was riding on the evidence...they still have yet to find. Time isn't on their hands. A killer is just about to get away with it all.
Allison Brennan had me on the edge of my seat. I kept waiting for the big moment. But the story just kept building into this tense break it or make it moment. Intriguing as hell. I could not stop reading. I had to know who it was and if their case would be solid enough. I also needed to know how the case played out between Jerry, the police officer, and his newbie FBI partner, Lucy. Lucy has the best sense for the criminal mind. She has this unexplainable hunch and it always leads to the right answer. But it's a race against time in this deadly yet satisfying thriller. Overall, I do recommend this read. It was a bit slow, but it was worth digging into.
I received this copy from the publisher. This is my voluntary review.

Nothing To Hide is Book #15 in the Lucy Kincaid series. I have read other books in this series but feel that it would be fairly easy to follow even for those that haven’t.
Lucy and Detective Jerry Walker are trying to work together to solve three murders and have a hard time trying to make the connection between them. As a side story , Lucy’s husband’s Son comes to live with them and they are trying to learn to trust each other. His son, Jesse is trying to help a friend and that starts to make Sean question what his son is up to.
Allison Brennan as always leads you on a thrilling adventure. I received an ARC from Netgalley to give my honest review.

This book is like watching Criminal Minds but with more information. You don't have to read the previous books to enjoy this one, though those are good books too. Lucy has such a sharp mind and that shows in her work of catching the bad guys. In this book she is working with an investigator who doesn't like the FBI because they screwed up a case many years ago. The case has random guys dying and not knowing what links they all together. We follow Lucy and Jerry as they hunt down this killer. During all this Sean and Jesse have problems of their own.

I have voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this title given to me via NetGalley. Nothing to Hide is the fifteenth book in the Lucy Kincaid series and this title was really enjoyable. I can’t wait to read this authors future titles.

Another hit for Allison Brennan. This time Lucy works with the BCSO but many of the regular characters we enjoy are here. Good story keeps you guessing. Satisfactory ending.

I always find that Allison Brennan to be a go to author for the perfect amount of on the edge of my seat and quick reading. She’s that author that you know won’t let you down for some alone time to read.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to read this novel in exchange for an honest review.

I love seeing Lucy grow as a character! Faced with a stubborn cop who doesn't like Feds, she is tasked to work with him in order to solved what appears to be a serial killer. Three men, who as it appears are happily married. They wind up dead, and Lucy is determined to find out why. There is also another side story including Sean's son Jesse, which shows how Sean and Jesse are trying to find their way, and trusting each other.
This one was jam packed with investigating, and theories in their investigating. Fast paced, and lots of turns. Loved it.

Nothing to Hide is another Brennan thriller and as always she never disappoints. Having followed Lucy Kincaid's story, since the first book in the series, I'm always on the lookout for her next adventure. FBI agent Lucy Kincaid joins with a local sheriff's department detective, whose past experience doesn't make him a lover of the FBI, to work together to solve the deaths of 3 men who seem to be victims of a serial murderer. At the same time Lucy and her husband Sean are dealing with the new experience of having a teenager in the house now that Sean's son has come to live with them. Al always Lucy and Sean's brothers and sisters and people from their past join to make the story more exciting. I enjoy the interaction of a good procedural with the family lives of the characters watching a fuller development of the characters you want to get to know better. The story will keep you involved as you follow the murder investigation and the personal life of Lucy Kincaid. This addition to the series brings a satisfaction of good procedural details, great character development, and mystery and suspense that will keep the pages turning.

The killer is uniquely cold. This is a coldness that cannot be hidden. He would be polite, respectful, follow all the social norms. But people who know the killer would be probably call him or her introverted, quiet, intelligent, aloof, possibly antisocial. This is not someone who likes people in general, but he can function in society. He or she has at least some college education, above average intelligence, organized not just as a killer, but in his personal life. He may have friends, he may be married, but keeps his friends at a distance and is cool with his spouse. However, the killer can play whatever part is needed - true sociopaths are maters of understanding character and psychology, so they can step in a variety of roles with ease. They can't stay in the role forever, but they can play the part.
I have read several the Lucy Kincaid series and I am hooked. I would like to go back and catch up as this book did refer to the past somewhat. Not enough to loose the reader but enough to tease the reader to put the series on the to read shelf. Lucy a good FBI agent is working with Sheriff Jerry Walker. Having a bad experience working with the FBI on case that involved the killing of two boys, Jerry did not trust the psychological mumbo jumbo of the FBI task force that Lucy belongs too. With 3 murders and a possible one in the near future, the killer is leaving their mark. A taser, a shot to the face, and beating, 3 men with no apparent ties are found murdered. Did they know the killer? How are the 3 men related to the killer. With no known forensic evidence per se, the two must put their differences aside and work together to find the motive of the killer before they can find the killer himself.
They begin to untangle web looking into the past of the victims and uncover each and every stone. The two working together see the value of what the other brings and start coming to conclusions that make the killer miss a step.
Another story that interwoven with the Kincaid's case is her husbands Sean son Jessie. His background his from the other books in the series but the story adds some drama of young people in gangs and how gangs keep a hold on them. Jessie trying to do the right thing while protecting his dad and step mother. The narration gave some depth to the characters.
All in all a good crime thriller of walking in the shoes of CSI and to listen to your gut and your dog.
A Special Thank you to St. Martin's Press and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

Allison Brennan has delivered another great read. A plot that is filled with twists and turns that kept this reader guessing. Fans of suspense do not want to miss this book.

These mysteries don’t disappoint.. although it was a little tough to get into this one. I am beginning to think writers get lazy and don’t want to mess with their formulas but after a few titles, it really is necessaty

It is #15 in the series. FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid is called into a case of a potential serial killer by the local San Antonio police. It was a slow book with lots of procedural explanations. There is also a sub plot of Lucy's step son and a gang.

Nothing To Hide – Allison Brennan
I was fortunate to receive this book as an Advance Reader Copy from Netgalley, in exchange for an objective review.
FBI Lucy Kincade faces her toughest case yet, as she works alongside a veteran cop Jerry Walker, with his disdain for the FBI and his distrust in profiling science. Investigating the third case of a seeming serial killer with an unusual routine, Lucy and Jerry are stymied. They can find no link between their victims. Different economic statuses, different jobs, different circles of acquaintances – there is no commonality. But each victim was tased, had both hands broken, and took a pointblank gunshot to the face. There’s no obvious motive – no robbery, no adultery, no reason that investigators can find for the murders. And yet, they appear anything but random…
Meanwhile, Sean’s thirteen-year-old son Jesse is struggling to fit in. After being recovered from a kidnapping in which his mother was killed, Jesse is new to the Rogan/Kincaid household. A frequent visitor to the boys home at St. Catherine’s Church, he has found solace in befriending boys his age, Michael & Brian, who have come from similar situations. But Brian is struggling with something, and Jesse and Michael are determined to keep him safe, risking their own lives in the process.
As the investigation continues, and they seem no closer to identifying a suspect, Lucy tests the waters and sets up a meeting with her brother, who is a forensic psychologist. Although Jerry is angry with the ambush, he listens and agrees to consider the profile presented. When a fourth victim is discovered dead after walking his dog, with the dog injured as well, they quickly zero in the victim’s son, who unwittingly connects the dots to the murders. While he doesn’t match the profile, Jerry is convinced they’ve got their guy, and with no alibi for the nights of the murders he is quickly arrested. But is he guilty? Or has a stone-cold killer set him up to take the fall??
Another fabulous read from the ever-amazing Allison Brennan!! I started reading her years ago, and now buy her titles, sight unseen. Doesn’t matter what the storyline is – I just know I’m going to love it!! Whether it’s Lucy Kincaid, or Max Revere starring in its pages, you’re going to LOVE whatever Brennan book you might grab!!

FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid is called into a case by the local San Antonio police. There is a potential serial killer on the loose. Men are being found beside the highway beaten, hands mangled and then shot to death. Lucy, with her background in psychology and experience, has been called in to work with a seasoned detective who has a definite dislike for the FBI which causes some ripples in their work relationship.
The book started a little slow for me. It picked up around 20% (ebook) when the police procedure started. The police procedure included interviews and forensics. The author is very knowledgeable and it is evident in her writing. But once I was caught up into the story and was looking for the "big reveal" I was so disappointed. It was so anticlimactic. No "a-ha moments" or twists. I would have wished for something "more". It was just "okay". It left a lot of unanswered questions and didn't feel finished. Not what I like in my books, but may be of interest to others.
This is my first time reading the Lucy Kincaid series (this is book #16) but I didn't find myself lost with a lot of backstory and character explanations. Actually the secondary characters were very interesting and has roused my interest in reading other books in the series.
I will try to read this author again. She does have a smooth and concise writing style. It is easy to follow and flows well. Great character development and dialogue. I was just disappointed by the ending.
Thank you to Minotaur Books and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Another great installment the lucy kincaid series! It will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is a standalone, but it great to read as a series to see the development of the characters.

Lucy Kincaid never disappoints and neither does Allison Brennan with a wonderful new addition to the FBI Agent Lucy Kincaid series. Lucy and Sheriff Deputy Investigator Jerry Walker are investigating two bodies that have been killed in the same unusual manner. Then a third body is killed the same way. The men all led normal lives, married, children with no obvious motive for their murders. Jerry is not happy that Lucy has been assigned to work with him, not because she is female, but because she is FBI. As they continue to question the families of the victims, there is no obvious connection between the men. Do they have a stone-cold psychopath killing just for the pleasure of getting away with murder? At the same time Sean, Lucy’s husband, is still dealing with his son, Jesse, and the trauma that he suffered when his mother was killed. While Lucy is able to use Sean’s assistance and perspective on the cases, the sheriff’s department and FBI work overtime processing what few clues they have. Ms. Brennan is a master at suspense and weaves a complicated and thoroughly entertaining mystery. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review.

I am a fan of Allison Brennan so I was excited when I saw another Lucy Kincaid book! Nothing to Hide was full of tons of secrets and twists and turns.
Allison is amazing at drawing her readers in with detail and surprising OMG moments. The only not amazing thing I have to say about this book is that is hella hard to review….reason because it is amazing and I don’t want to spill any details. So just take my advice and read this book!

Allison Brennan brings Lucy Kincaid back for another mystery this time a serial killers needing to be stopped. The characters are real, progress and grow as the series continues. Each characters readers will be able to relate wanting to love, protect and stand beside.
The mystery has it twist and turns that readers have come to expect from Allison Brennan. The author has the gift to bring readers into her world never letting go until they have finished ever last word.
The book can be read as a stand a lone for those who have just discovered Allison Brennan.
Thank you to Netgally and the publisher Minotaur Books for the advance copy Allison Brennan Nothing to Hide

I love Lucy Kincaid! a kick-butt heroine full of compassion, fear, and strength. This story adds depth to her character as she deals with officers that don't want to work with her to solve a crime that turns out to be bigger than expected.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this amazing book
my first book by this author and it wont be my last ....
we have three make murder victims all killed the same way...
we have a sheriff with a big mistrust of the fbi...
and an fbi rookie who has to get that big chip off that sheriff shoulder so they can work together to investigate those three murders before another one is committed...but then another man is killed same m.o and they are still no closer as none of the victims have anything in common
and the killer isnt leaving any clues behind...
i found this book grabbed my attention so much that i was drawn in hook line and sinker and couldnt wait to finish it to find out who the killer could be...
this author is going in my favourites list to be followed for the next one in this series
