All The Good Girls

3.5 / 5 stars!

After Lucy reported she was raped at a prom after party and the accused gets away with it, she goes missing. Soon after, 5 students are brutally murdered, and these 5 girls just so happen to be on the list of the witnesses of the rape. Detective Harry Hunter is assigned to protect the accused boy but while doing so, he is set on solving the crime himself. So, he sets out on his own investigation and discovers more than he bargained for.

This was a fast-paced, page turning read. There are multiple twists and turns that I wasn't expecting, and it left my dying to know what really happened that night and who was involved. I loved the way it was written, and the main character's (Harry) narration allowed you to follow along with the investigation and helps better understand how all the clues are connected. I loved that it was in a detective's POV because it taught how to observe even the smallest details to solve the crime.

With that being said, I really struggled to like any of these characters. I didn’t find any of them likeable, and I was unable to show any of them sympathy- including Detective Hunter. But all the characters seemed suspicious and made you wonder if they knew the truth. I wish it would have been longer with more substance. It just all happened to fast.

Overall, I really enjoyed this short book. It only took a couple hours to finish and the story itself was captivating. It's perfect for someone who is looking for a fast crime/investigation!

after 4 girls are brutally murdered on a boat Detective Harry Hunter is determined to get to the bottom of this and find out who is behind the terrible crime. Although Harry isn’t officially on the case it’s close to home for him and he decided she is going to solve the case instead of keeping watch over a potential victim.

When another girl is attacked in the school toilets Harry is dismissed having been tasked with guarding the school to ensure that nothing like this should have happened. At the point I felt for Harry as he has a wife at home in a coma resulting from a drug over dose and a daughter at home who needs her dad more than ever now that she is missing her mother.

Even though he’s been dismissed Harry soon quickly solves the case and is reinstated to his old position. I loved this book as a thriller it was a quick and easy read but there was plenty to keep the reader interested. I’m really looking forward to reading the other Harry Hunter mystery thrillers.

Thank you to NetGalley the author and the publisher for an advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Four teenagers from one of Miami’s affluent neighborhoods are murdered on a boat. Another is found in a dumpster. All five of them go to the same school and are on a list of witnesses to another crime. Because he's in bad standing with his boss, Harry is given the task of protecting a possible future victim, but Harry isn’t always known to follow his boss's orders. This is a new character from this author and he is one I hope we see much more of. This reads more like a longish short story and I finished it in a couple of hours but they were two hours really well spent. Thank you NetGalley for the advanced readers copy for review.

This author never disappoints and such a great introduction to a new crime series.

Really enjoyed it.

I was given a free copy by netgalley and the publishers but the review is entirely my own.

Electrifying, All The Good Girls is a truly engrossing mystery.

The story is about four teenagers who are murdered on a boat while another is found in a dumpster. The interesting plot twist is these girls were witnesses to another crime. Trouble continues when Harry is supposed to protect a potential future victim.

The Harry Hunter Mystery Series contains 4 books:

1 - All the Good Girls

2 - Run Girl Run

3 - No Other Way

4 - Never Walk Alone

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book that I received from NetGalley. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. This book contained a teaser for the next book and the next book also had a teaser so I ended up reading all four. This was a great series!

I especially liked that Harry is a Christian with Christian mores and values. He is also a loving and compassionate individual. And he has more heartbreak than the average hero. His wife is in a coma when the story begins, his widowed father is helping him raise his daughter and his daughter is going through the usual teenage angst. Harry is a dedicated homicide detective but in hindered by corrupt colleagues, office politics and a propensity for following leads he sees as crucial even against orders. All Harry's family are likeable characters and this series kept me story bingeing right to the end. I highly recommend this series.

Fantastic book by a wonderful author! Highly recommend this book. Kept me interested from very beginning. Thank you to publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book..

This was my first book by Willow Rose, and it won’t be my last. The book was a fast read. The book kept my interest. It did get confusing at times when the POV changed. I look forward to reading more.

Can you say major plot twist??

All The Good Girls by Willow Rose is the first book in the new Harry Hunter Mystery Series.
Harry Hunter (referred to as Harry Handsome) is a Florida detective trying to find the killer of five high school girls. Harry is determined to do things his own way to solve the crimes despite threats of being fired by his superior.
This slow burn mystery thriller will stump the reader to the very last page.

All the Good Girls is a good mystery that moves along at a steady pace. The first book in a new series, it kept me turning the pages to find out what would happen next. There are several twists and turns to the book, but I enjoyed it and would recommend it to others.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and they publisher, this is my fair and honest review.

This is the first novel in the new Harry Hunter series from Willow Rose. Detective Harry Hunter is on Miami’s homicide squad but doesn’t really fit in, transferred from the drug squad and not happy plus he doesn’t get on with his new boss. Four teenagers are found murdered on a boat and another in a dumpster, they all attend the same school and are all witnesses to another crime…………can Harry solve the case before anyone else is killed and prove to his new boss his worth? As with all Willow Rose books it is fast paced action packed.

Thanks NetGalley for a copy of my book: My thoughts are my own!

I will start this by saying I love anything Willow Rose writes! And this is no exception! I thought that the story was well played out. There was some surprises thrown in and you knew who the "bad guy" was with some twists that I, a veteran thriller reader, didn't see coming! So with that I already bought book two in the series and I will continue with the series!

Awesome story I could not put down. Very highly recommended. I cannot write a review to do this book justice. I was hooked from the first page. The writing is superb and enthralling and overall, I just loved this book.

All the Good Girls is yet another great police suspense novel by Willow Rose. It's the first book in the Detective Harry Hunter series and per her usual form, it's got plenty of heart. It was also impossible to put down.
Harry Hunter, of the Miami PD’s homicide squad, has been dealing with a lot of trauma, in his life for the last few years. Due to a tragic accident, his wife has been in a coma and with a little help from friends and family, he's been caring for her at home. That's thrown him off his game at work and his boss is not happy with him.
Now several teens, all witnesses to the same crime, have been killed and the Detective's boss is insisting that Harry play bodyguard to a spoiled, hateful young man. Since he's the one with the best shot at stopping the killer, he's going to have to ask his boss for forgiveness at least one more time.

Since I found I could download several of Willow Rose's books on NetGalley, I've been on a WR reading marathon. There are even some that I'm reading for the second time and still loving! She has several different series, and this is the first installment of a new one (Harry Hunter). I am very eager to read the ones that 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!

Wish I could give extra stars for the absence of sex and bad language.

I had not read and books by Willow Rose. One of my friends suggested her As they thought that I enjoy her writing. They were so right!

The character Harry seems to be a likeable troublemaking detective who doesn't follow the rules often. In this book Harry sets out to solve the murder of 4 teenage girls that he was specifically told it wasn't his case. The cast of characters we are introduced to along the way are intriguing as well.

Harry hunter is a detective who stays in trouble. Not only doesn’t he show up for morning meetings but he doesn’t answer when his boss calls. Because of his lack of discipline he has put on babysitting duty.

So needless to say he is unhappy when he is sent to babysit the rapist, Instead of investigating the murder. Harry doesn’t let Bing toll no stop him though and investigate he does. Between caring for his invalid wife and teenage daughter investigating and babysitting he has a pretty full life but when romance rear the tad Harry isn’t exactly saying no. I loved this book I love that Harry is a Christian I love that he loves his daughter I love the plot it’s just an awesome book. Willow Rose comes up with the best stories and I guess that’s why she’s a best seller! I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind to dictate my review but all opinions are definitely my own.

All The Good Girls by Willow Rose is the first book in the Harry Hunter Mystery Series. This is a fast-paced murder mystery with a likable main character, even though he has lots of flaws. Harry is a detective who doesn’t always follow the rules. Five teens from the same school were witnesses to a crime. All 5 have turned up dead. Harry is given the duty of protecting the life of a possible future victim. This enthralling, page-turner is a story that’s hard to put down. Lots of action, suspense with lots of twists and turns. Looking forward to the next book in the series.
