Absolutely loved it.
This one blew me away. It caught my attention from the beginning and never let go.
A killer is leaving clues for Lucy. Lucy is trying to do better but someone doesn’t like it. I did have it figured out from the start but it was still so good. The emotions and suspense were so intense.
Many thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read and review this one.

Thank you to #NetGalley, #Bookouture and Stacy Green for the opportunity to read an advance copy of THE LONELY GIRLS, a Lucy Kendall Crime Thriller, Book 4, to be published 30 January 2023. Wow Lucy does it again - she gets into more trouble as a private investigator and former social worker. In this book, she attempts to move beyond a sordid past and takes a new position in Washington DC, where she intends to go straight. Her efforts always seem to be thwarted by the past! Stacy Green has taken Lucy through a variety of situations, this being the most courageous and outrageous yet. A winner! #NetGalley. #Bookouture. #StacyGreen. #TheLonelyGirls

Lucy Kendall is settling into her new job in Alexandria. She’s doing as she intended and is moving forward with her life. She’s kept in touch with her friend Kelly but after the events that unfolded with Chris and his mother, Mary, she’d taken time out and had asked Chris for space. Unfortunately he wasn’t getting the message and continued to pester her.

All is going well until a body turns up. This body has a clear message just for Lucy. Hunting for this killer is personal and with threats to her family and friends being made, she will do anything to protect them, even if it means throwing herself under the bus to do so.

The last book in the Lucy Kendall series and I’m so gutted I’ve finished them. I’ve really enjoyed getting into these books they’re quite dark but fast paced with twists that kept me guessing throughout. I do have to admit I had an inkling where this book was going and I was proved right but it was all done really cleverly and even though I guessed it was still a fantastic read.

Highly recommend the whole Lucy Kendall series if you’re a fan of dark thrillers.

Lucy Kendall is fighting to find Kelly before it is too late. She has been played but now it’s time for her to fight back and save her friend. She will be tested and will she do the right thing or cross the line. Lucy has felt guilty not being able to save Lily and now someone has opened that wound up and has taunted her by staging the body just like her sister. She will fight for her family.

This is one fast paced, twisty book and I loved it.

I can’t believe I have finished all 4 books quicker than it took me to read my horoscope! Each one better than the next!!
This one sees Lucy returning home - after a victim she knows turns up with a very clear message!
I am not exaggerating when I say I was gripped from the first page and the only bad thing about the book was the fact that it ended!
She is 100% my new fave heroin, and I cannot wait for the next one! I cannot recommend this series enough!
Really original story lines and a really likeable bunch of characters!!

I'm officially addicted to this series! I seriously can't get enough of Lucy. The latest shocking installment kept me turning the pages all night long as Lucy races to save her friend. There are tons of twists and turns that certainly kept me guessing. But in the end, Lucy prevails, for now...

Lucy has started her new job in Washington but misses her old friends. But when a client from the past becomes a victim in the present and her friend Kelly is kidnapped Lucy finds herself against the clock to save her life whilst retaining her sanity.
A perfect finale to these fabulous books. I've enjoyed all four of them immensely, each of them better than the previous, but that's probably because we've got to know the characters so well.

I loved this series and this book was the perfect completion. Lucy is a great character and I felt like I was investigating right beside her. After the last book I had my suspicions and this one validated them. I was engaged from the beginning. I highly recommend this one!

The Lonely Girls is book 4 in the Lucy Kendall PI crime thriller mystery series by Stacy Green.

I have thoroughly enjoyed all the previous in the series so was eagerly waiting for this.
This is another book filled with tension and mystery.
Stacy Green does brilliant job with the creation of these fictional characters with depth and complexity of any real-life person.
An incredibly gripping and dramatic crime thriller. This is one series I had an absolute blast with.

I’ve really enjoyed reading all four books in this series back to back. I read this the last one in one day.
Great twists and turns, I am going to miss Lucy, Kelly & Co.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

Lucy Kendall is an ex private investigator and ex vigilante hunting down paedophiles and ridding society of them.

When a girls body is found posed to look like Lucy’s dead sister and a message is written on the mirror, Lucy is drawn into the case. But as she investigated her best friend Kelly goes missing Lucy has 48 hours to find her and doesn’t know where to start looking. Is the abduction related to one of her past crimes?

This book started off quite sad, Lucy on her own, in. A new city without her friends to back her up. As the story with Kelly progresses we get to see familiar and welcome faces.

This was a fantastic and fitting end to the Lucy Kendall series. The massive twist was one I never saw coming. I’ve sat and read this all in one sitting and I’m still a bit in shock at the ending.

Great read!

What an ending to the series, oh wow it just covers all the little hints in the last few books and was such a 'page turner' I just had to keep reading to late in the night. Just love Stacy Green's books they work so well.

I was given an advance copy, of the newly titled book, by the publishers and netgalley but the review is entirely my own.

This is the final book in A Lucy Kendall Crime Thriller Series. Lots of angst and really sad moments. Chris was very disappointing. The writing is really good. It’s a very busy storyline. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

The conclusion of the Lucy Kendall series finds Lucy racing against the clock. After a woman is murdered and a message left for Lucy, she is on the lookout for who might be responsible. Things get even worse when she realizes her best friend Kelly has been kidnapped. Now she must race against time to save Kelly before it’s too late.

Overall, I thought this was a good ending to the series. However, I felt like the serial killer angle felt random because we hadn’t heard of it until now. I felt like it could’ve been planted a bit more in the previous books. As of now, it felt a bit deus ex machina esque to just have him be a serial killer. I liked a lot of the other denouement surrounding the culprit, just not the serial killer bit because it was so random.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Another book in this series, another 5 star review. Once of the best series I’ve read to date. Twists and turns that wind you through the darkest tales of humanity. Gritty and stomach clenching, this is a don’t put it down, stay up till the last page read. Amazing characters rush as breakneck speed through a story of terror and suspense. This whole series is amazing. 5 stars across the board. Long after the last page of the last book this story will be running through your mind and creep into your nightmares

A Lonely Girls was a final book from Lucy Kendall PI series, following a woman who suffered traumatized from lost her sister and make it inner motivation for give justice to children sexual abuser and sex trafficing.

The case was take several months after end of third book. Lucy is enjoying her new job and start fresh but the past won't let her go. At here we get another dangerous kidnapped case, and she is race with limited time. I enjoyed how far Lucy characters growing since first book. I am mostly happy saw that she willing to admit and fixing her mistakes,
learned from it and do it again better ways. I not always agree with her choices but she loyal, very protective and worming her ways through my heart. I enjoyed all four books in this series and devoured it so fast. If you have slumps, try this one.
I almost felt sad this series going to end, and missed the characters already. But I think the author still give some droplets for chance any new instalment under this series later in the future.

Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for provided my copy. I enjoyed my reading time and my thoughts are my own.

What an ending! The last in the series, these books do meed to be read in order since they follow on immediately from each other so there's no point starting at the end and ruining it for yourself. The writing is amazing, there are so many twists and turns and the characters get so far under your skin that you can't help but read on as long as you can. The plot is so cleverly written with so many fascinating characters and you do get so attached to them. The humanity in these people really shines bright and it does strike a chord that I think most people will relate to. I was sceptical about an entire series being released together but having read them, I now completely understand and think this will go down as one of the best thriller series I have ever read! And I read a lot!! I'd easily recommend to anyone and everyone, it's such an amazing series

So this is the end of this nail biting, scream out loud, argue with the characters… Series

I’m going to miss these characters… I have formed such an attachment, as I have read every book in the series back to back
Another great series by this author

Great ending to a fabulous series of four books. I do recommend you read them in order. Overall, I really enjoyed this dark, chilling, well-plotted story. It was intense and fast paced and I raced through this in a few hours, frantically turning the pages, desperate to find out how it was all going to be resolved. With that dramatic ending, I wasn’t disappointed!
