Gretchen White is the polar opposite of what someone would expect of a beloved character. However, she is very beloved...to me. I've enjoyed watching her development over the past two books and despite her innate prickliness, I find her a goshdang delight. On that note, I appreciated that with this book, we got a better look into Lauren Marconi.

Love this author! Great character development. I especially have enjoyed seeing the change in Gretchen over the course of the three books. What a complex character! I really hope this wasn't the end of the series. I'd love to see more.

Brianna Labuskes' "See It End" is a thrilling and enticing read. The central plot is around Detective Lauren Marconi's past, and the puzzle pieces of her sudden erratic behaviour and past conduct come together. This is the third book of the Dr Gretchen White series and qualifies as a standalone (this is my first book by the author). However, I strongly suggest that readers go back to books one and two to understand these remarkable and well-fleshed-out characters better.

Dr Gretchen White is one of the best characters I have read. Most crime/suspense books follow the linear path of revealing one of their characters being a sociopath. But what happens if the tables are turned, and we have individuals who strives to make integral choices based on their coping mechanisms? Her brilliance, wit and sarcasm are unmatched, and her moments of doubt and frustration are well-written. The supporting characters and the list of suspects are carefully and cleverly woven into the plot, and the twists and turns are well-timed and genuinely shocking.

Fans of psychology, mystery, thriller and the classic whodunit, please do not skip this one.

Thank you, NetGalley & Thomas and Mercer, for giving me an ARC. This honest review is left voluntarily.

I have enjoyed this series thus far and found this one to be the best installment yet! The character development in book 3 was phenomenal. I loved the dual timeline and the deep dive into Marconi’s story. This series feature unique, complex characters and interesting plot lines. I look forward to the next in the series!

Oh my gosh another series but you can totally read this stand alone. I can see how if I’d read the first book there would have been more details on Dr Gretchen White, but honestly it did work for me. I didn’t feel like I was lacking in any details by picking this one up out of order.

Criminologist Dr. Gretchen White thought Detective Lauren Marconi could never cross certain ethical lines, but one day Dr White gets a call from Marconi saying “I did it”. Of course, Dr White is going to investigate. With Detective Marconi in jail, Dr White teams up with the jerk of a detective Lachlan Gibbs. As the investigation progresses Dr. White keeps getting more and more questions thrown at her and fewer and fewer answers. Will she be able to get to the bottom of things before time runs out for Marconi?

This book comes in at about 380 pages but its such a fast read and you won’t want to put it down! If this is how the rest of this authors books are written, then I have found a new favorite. This one is the third book in the Dr. Gretchen White series, and it is explosive! I guess in the other two books, Marconi helps Dr White out – unlike this one, so I am excited to read them. This book is expertly written, and keeps you engaged the entire time. There wasn’t a dull moment.

If you’re looking for a fun ride that won’t disappoint, then check this one out April 18th of next year! The publisher, Thomas & Mercer, and @netgalley, provided me this e-arc copy for review

he third installment of the Dr. Gretchen White series, hopefully not the last and just as recommended as the first two.

This time the mystery is centered on Marconi’s past. Lauren Marconi, the BPD detective is the closest thing Gretchen has to a best friend, and partly because of that Gretchen is compelled to investigate the murder for which Lauren is arrested for plus because Lauren personally told her not to – so she teams up with Laurens IA boyfriend Lachlan Gibbs to prove that Lauren is innocent of the charges.

In the process we learn a bit more of Marconi's backstory and we see why/how she is able to cope with Gretchen’s ways unlike almost everyone else Gretchen interacts with. We also see the effect of Marconi on Gretchen in that she has more success in understanding and relating to what she calls being an “empath”.

Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for an ARC of See It End in exchange for an honest review

I was super excited to see another book in the Gretchen White series. The first two were really good and though technically this could be read as a standalone, you will understand a lot more if you read the first two books before this one publishes.
This time things are turned upside down. It’s usually Lauren who helps Gretchen. Not this time. Lauren has killed someone and tells Gretchen to leave the case alone. Yeah right,not going to happen with Gretchen. Turns out Gretchen isn’t the only one with a horrifying past. This one kept me guessing page after page. I’m going to stop talking about the story now to avoid shark infested spoiler waters.
Another fast paced twisty story and I only hope that this isn’t the last we see of these two. Gretchen is one of the most unique characters I’ve come across and I hope the author has more for her to say.

I've been following this series since last year and it did not disappoint. It's consistently dark yet enticing but not without salient points that make you think about perspectives on ethics and morality. Again, as with the past 2 books, I'm in this more for the ride than the destination. The author's way of telling the story is such a journey. She employed a multiple person perspective and not once did it become boring or confusing. Another smashing hit from Brianna Labuskes!

I had no idea this was the 3rd instalment in a series, but continued to read this ARC and was not disappointed. This book could act as a standalone, as it mentioned previous storylines but gave no spoilers. I immediately located the 1st and 2nd books from this series, also plan to read more from this author. Great premise of the Professional female lead, her Sociopathic traits and childhood trauma.

I requested this without realizing this was a series. I felt like I was missing some important parts while reading this. I want to read the series in order and revisit this later as the writing was intriguing.

As for the first two books in the series, I loved this new installment of the Gretchen White's story.
She's so interesting and enthralling that her interactions with the other characters and her actions are never 100% predictable.

"See it End" concentrates on Marconi and, since she's my second favorite characters in the series, I appreciated the chance to get to know her past. However what I did miss from this book was Gretchen and Marconi banter and their chemistry.
I really hope it won't be the end for this series because I'm not ready to say goodbye to this (anti)heroine and all the messes she get into!

At last I'd like to thank the author and the editor for the chance to read the book for free through this platform.

Brianna Labuskes has written a dark, edgy, multi-layered murder mystery with See It End. Her writing is flawless, and her unusual characters are well drawn.

Though this is the third book in the series featuring Detective Lauren Marconi and Criminologist Dr. Gretchen White, the story stands well on its own. It's told from the POV of Gretchen White, a non-violent sociopath, whose personality is brilliant and disturbing in equal measure. I was able to appreciate the author's writing skills despite being unnerved by the inner workings of Gretchen's mind and the subject matter of serial child murders.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Thomas and Mercer for providing an ARC to read for review. This review will appear on Bayside Book Reviews at https://baysidebookreviews.com and its Instagram page on release day. *NetGalley Top Reviewer*

Absolutely fabulous story. It really hooked me in from page one. Finished the book in less than a day. This was my first exposure to the author. Once I found out this was the third book in a series I had to go back to read from the first book.
This is a story about a police detective and a psychologist consultant for the police that know each other so well that when Lauren a police detective comes to see Gretchen to let her know she is guilty of murder and for her not to investigate,Gretchen is convinced Lauren is taking the blame for someone else.

Will Gretchen find out what is going on and why Lauren turned herself in for a murder? Why does Lauren want Gretchen to stay away from this? Who is the man Lauren is supposed to have murdered and why? This book will keep you on the edge of your seat! Truly enjoyed the book. Thank you netgalley for complimentary copy.

This was a propulsive, fast and intense ride, I was all in on this one and binged as fast as I could! Bravo, 4 stars from me!

I'm really loving this series and I couldn't put this one down! Gretchen is one of the most fascinating characters I've ever read. There's mystery, suspense, and so much more. It kept me guessing. I was still guessing right up to the reveal and I love that! This is one of my must read authors and this book shows why. Highly recommend this one.

Gifted Criminologist..
The third in the Dr Gretchen White series and more murder, mystery and mayhem is about to ensue for the gifted criminologist. Nothing is ever as it seems. Distressing and disturbing themes are prevalent so be warned, characters are wholly credible and the narrative immersive with the main protagonist continuing to shine throughout.

From one of my favorite authors comes another spectacular book of mystery and psychological suspense with Dr. Gretchen White. Murderino's will love this one! With blood on her hands, did Detective Lauren Marconi cross the line? Find out in this thrilling story!

WOW! LOVED IT! With SEE IT END, Brianna Labuskes does it again!

Dr. Gretchen White, part time criminologist/consultant to the Boston Police Department and full time sociopath is running from a bad blind date when she is visited by her somewhat partner following the death of a suspected serial killer. “I did it,” she says, “Promise me. Don’t investigate “. Then Detective Lauren Marconi is in the wind, eventually being caught and charged with murder. Thus begins Gretchen’s investigation, I mean who wouldn’t want to help their (quasi) friend, right?
She teams up with Internal Affairs Detective Lachlan Gibbs, someone she despises, who just so happens to be Marconi’s boyfriend and the two begin to investigate the time leading up to the actual crime. They unearth and sift through much of the story of Marconi’s past and her absolute certainty that the victim was also a killer.
Frequently during this investigation they wonder if Marconi is, in fact guilty of the execution style killing of the perpetrator. You will undoubtedly wonder who actually did pull the trigger…and you will probably be wrong. I had a new suspect at every turn, well, almost.
It’s really no surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed this one as I devoured the first two Dr. Gretchen White books. Will there be another? This reader sincerely hopes so. I can’t wait to see who else Gretchen can come up against. I was interested to see that Ms. Labuskes grew up not to far from me and wondered if that attributed to the easy flow of her writing style but apparently not, she gets great reviews from all over the world. So BRAVO on another great job!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the opportunity to receive an advance copy of this book for my free and honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of See It End.
I LOVED this book. It was a quick read and kept me on my toes. I have been a fan of this author, and this book does not disappoint. I appreciated that this was a page turner and kept the suspense up throughout. There are several suspects throughout the book, and since it is told from differing perspectives, it gives you a little more insight piece by piece until everything is revealed towards the end. I did not see the ending coming!

Highly recommend.

TW - serial child predator, multiple child abductions and deaths (off page)


I had a rough time reading this one, and honestly, had I been aware of these particular trigger warnings beforehand, I probably would have skipped this one,

However, the story is engaging, Gretchen’s character evolution has been enjoying to read. Recommended if the TW’s don’t bother you.

I’ve read this entire series, and, as she has with the previous books, she keeps you turning the pages.
