Pretty good! Not my favorite Willow Rose character but Harry is an interesting character with his own demons to fight! I wish it was longer!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

A year ago Lucy made a decision to go to prom, which changed the course of her life. When she was brutally beaten and raped by a fellow student, William Covington all she wanted was justice. But with William’s reputation and knack for blackmail all the witnesses said the tragic event never happened. But when three of the witnesses end up murdered in a boat and a fourth one found in the water all fingers are pointed towards Lucy. When detective Hunter is assigned security detail on William, he knows something about the murders seems fishy. Can he piece together all the clues before more of the witnesses end up dead?
Overall rating 5/5
For Freida McFadden fans this is a suspenseful page turner with an incredible cliffhanger. I audibly gasped during the last few chapters. I cannot wait to find out what is in store for Detective Hunter in the next installment.

On a boat, four teenagers from an affluent Miami neighborhood are murdered. A third is found in a dumpster. All five of them go to the same school and are on a list of witnesses to another crime.Five of them attend the same school and are witnesses to another crime.



Despite Harry's poor standing with his boss, he is given the task of protecting a possible future victim, but he isn't always known to follow directions.

Thank you Netgalley, Willow Rose and Buoy Media LLC for the eArc of All The Good girls.

I've read some of Willow Rose's books before, The Detective Billie Ann Wilde series which have been released in early 2024. So I was looking forward to reading All The Good Girls. Taking into consideration this book was originally published/released in 2020 and the first book in the Harry Hunter series ( 7 book in total ) I really enjoyed this fast paced police protocol mystery thriller. I thought it was well paced and didn't really let up. Like a wind up car and it just keeps going under its own momentum. I would say that this book is mainly plot driven but Im also intrigued to pick up the rest of the series as there is enough character base of Harry to pull my interest. This book maybe not as well defined and complex as the recent series Ive picked up. Its still a great quick read.

I did also listen to a snippet of the audio version which is narrated by Christopher Romance. He did a great job narrating this book with his very upbeat tone which suited the pace of the book.

3.5 rounded to 4 for Netgalley/Amazon/Waterstones

While the narrative unfolds with intensity, there are also moments of vulnerability and reflection that add depth to the story.

Willow Rose delivers a gripping and intense crime thriller with "All The Good Girls," featuring Detective Harry Hunter of Miami PD's homicide squad. This pulse-pounding narrative, filled with suspense and unpredictable twists, earns a solid four stars for its engaging storyline, well-crafted characters, and the relentless pursuit of justice in the face of danger.

The story kicks off with a chilling crime scene—four teenagers from an affluent neighborhood brutally murdered on a boat, with another victim discovered in a dumpster. The riveting premise sets the stage for a fast-paced investigation that takes unexpected turns. The connection between the victims and their status as witnesses to a previous crime adds layers of complexity to the case.

Detective Harry Hunter, despite being in bad standing with his boss, becomes entangled in the investigation. Tasked with protecting a potential future victim, Harry's unorthodox methods and determination lead him down a perilous path. The character of Harry Hunter emerges as a compelling and flawed protagonist, adding depth to the narrative.

Rose's writing style is crisp, and the pacing of the novel is relentless, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. The tension builds steadily as Harry races against time to apprehend a killer who has the entire homicide squad on edge. The author skillfully weaves together multiple plotlines, creating a web of intrigue that keeps the reader guessing.

The novel excels in its portrayal of suspenseful moments and the psychological impact of the crimes on both the characters and the community. The author adeptly captures the atmosphere of Miami, enhancing the overall immersive experience.

While the narrative is engaging and filled with unexpected twists, some readers may find certain elements of the plot formulaic or reminiscent of familiar crime thriller tropes. Additionally, the resolution of certain subplots could benefit from further exploration to provide a more satisfying conclusion.

In conclusion, "All The Good Girls" is a compelling crime thriller that delivers intense thrills, complex characters, and a relentless pursuit of justice. Willow Rose crafts a suspenseful narrative that will appeal to fans of the genre, offering a rollercoaster of emotions and surprises.

This was an interesting book! We follow Detective Harry Hunt, who is dealing with a wife who suffered a devastating illness after a drug overdoes. Harry is angry and goes after drug dealers. However, his methods are not on the up and up, leading to him having lots of problems at work. His current case has him assigned to a student who is not the most likable character. It was a really good mystery, fast paced and well written with intriguing characters and good plot twists. Well worth the read!

Wow. That was a breath of fresh air. This was a slow-burn and you really have to be patient to see the big picture. When you get into the story, there is no going back.

Cheers to Netgalley for the copy!

I just finished this, I do believe it is better than other Willow Rose novels that I have read. However, I do feel that the main character was a bit too unrealistic for me. I think it was a decent read and would read it again between others.

This was the second book by this author that I reviewed. I like that these books are set in Florida. There are not many mysteries that take place in Florida. However, that is all I like about this book. I disliked how the main character, Harry, a detective, has the seemingly magic ability to look at a photo of a crime scene and know exactly what happened without the need for forensics. It is just so unrealistic.

I also dislike the dialogue. It doesn't flow well because the author doesn't use enough contractions. Because of this, it sounds stilted,

As for the plot itself, it was just too ridiculous to be enjoyable.

Thank you NetGalley for the digital copy. This was a short crime thriller that got right to the point. The crimes were poorly described and felt cheesy, like an old CSI episode. The story line was interesting with decent twists. Religious aspect throughout the book that seemed misplaced. 3 stars for a decent story line and closure at the end!

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.
