This book was everything and more! Catherine Cowles does not disappoint and is truly the queen of romantic suspense. I highly recommend!

Catherine Cowles did it again! Another romantic suspense that I couldn't stop reading and as always couldn't figure out the culprit.
All the missing pieces is a small town romantic suspense featuring a true crime podcaster named Ridley who has a traumatic past and is on her mission to uncover all the missing pieces of the night her life changed which leads her to Shady Cove.
Sheriff of the town named Colt has a baggage of his own and feels responsible for what happened ten years ago to his sister. But soon his dark mood and grumpiness is replaced by sunshine when Ridley enters his life and helps him heal while also working together to uncover the culprit who upended and destroyed thier sisters's lives.
Definitely a must read!

I swear Catherine Cowles can’t write a bad book! Another 5⭐️ story 👏🏼 I found this even more suspenseful and suspense focused than some of her other books. As always I don’t see any of it coming 😅
I loved the true crime podcaster aspect of it that we got from our fmc Ridley 🙌🏼 I loved the bonding we got from Ridley and Colter based on their backstories and how they both got to grow and heal from it 🤍

The narrators for this also did an amazing job telling this romantic suspense and the emotions for it 🫶🏼

LOVED THIS AUDIOBOOK!!! The narrators were SO good!! I def recommend this format for reading this book.

4.5⭐️ rounded up!! This may just be my favorite CC book to date!!

If you’ve read one of Catherine’s books before, you know she is the queen of romantic suspense. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors with how she perfectly blends together a romance story with an underlying mystery (that I can never figure out!!) Her newest book was a little more heavy on the mystery portion which I LOVED but also really enjoyed the unique podcast plot! As always, it kept me swooning and guessing until the very end.

If you haven’t read one of Catherine’s books before, this would be a great one to start with. Can’t recommend it enough!!

I loved this audiobook. Great performance. The book was very dark and chilling although it went to a great conclusion. I love catherine cowles.

❝ Ridley, a true crime podcaster, goes to Shady Cove to uncover the case of kidnapping that might just hold clues about her twin sister’s disappearance. Her efforts are not welcomed by the townies, especially one grumpy sheriff, Colt Brooks…

💭How I adore this book, doing an immersive reading/listening with this feel cinematic, it felt like a movie playing out in my head. If someone doesn't adapt this into a film, it’ll be a crime of its own. Ridley and Colt's first meeting had me immediately invested in their relationship, their banter had me hooked right away! Colt is such a grumpy bastard, but what I love the most is how doesn’t back down for a second. She’s fierce, fearless, and refuses to take any of his crap. Honestly, their dynamic is such a perfect push-and-pull. Beneath all the tension and sass, though, they share deep scars from eerily similar pasts, and watching them connect through that pain and eventually fall in love was so rewarding.

✅The side characters were also such a treat! Each one had these quirks that made them memorable, even while you’re suspicious of every single one. Who’s hiding what? Who’s lying?

✨Cat Cowles is truly the Queen of Romantic Suspense, and this, I dare say, is her best work to date. I gave up trying to predict the twists ages ago because, let’s face it, I’m terrible at it, but this story still had me gasping out loud at the big reveal. Just when I thought I had it figured out, BAM, wrong again. It’s the perfect blend of gripping mystery and slow-burn romance, with a sprinkle of humor to keep it all balanced. If you love a good murder mystery with a side of swoon-worthy romance, you’re in for a ride.

🎧And the narration? Absolute perfection. Sebastian York and Andi Arndt are romance audiobook royalty, and they brought this story to life in a way that felt so immersive. If you’re an audiobook lover like me, their performances are a huge reason to pick this up. They nailed the emotions, the humor, and the chemistry.
I can’t recommend it enough!

Ridley has my freaking heart. she’s one of my new top favorite Catherine Cowles fmc’s, her sassiness and drive and constant positivity in the face of all the tragedy she experienced not only in her personal life but also for her true crime podcast had me sobbing

Colt was the protective mmc of my dreams tbh. the way he lost it when Ridley was hurt even though he wasn’t supposed to care bc he was trying to be protective of his sister hdjsksks i adore him.

there were so many side characters i loved so much and the entire true crime podcaster aspect was such a fun twist. this book felt a little darker and more mysterious than usual for CC and i loved it!

special mention to Tater and her tooth hugs bc I couldn’t stop laughing every time she took a bite of Colt!!

Thank you so much to Catherine & her team for the ARC and ALC I received! I ended up listening to the book on audio, and the narrators were a joy to listen to.

Just when I thought I’d found my favorite Catherine Cowles book…she goes and gives me this one!! All the Missing Pieces is an emotional roller coaster in the best way, and I soaked up every thrilling second. And the absolute SHOCK of the reveal at the end? I am never going to get over it!

Read for these tropes:
🧩 True Crime Podcaster
🧩 Sheriff Hero
🧩 Grumpy/Sunshine
🧩 Forced Proximity
🧩 Lovable Three-Legged Cat
🧩 Small Town Suspense
🧩 Hurt/Comfort
🧩 Hilarious, Meddling Townsfolk
🧩 Enemies to Lovers

If you love Catherine, this book will be a new favorite on your list. If not, this is the perfect time to become a Catherine Cowles fan!

This was my first Catherine Cowles book and I can understand the hype now. It was just so delightful! I loved the whole traveling van true crime podcaster x fall for the grumpy town sheriff plot. I’m also a sucker for dual POV love stories and adorable animal sidekicks (in this case, tripod Tater 🐈). I even enjoyed how the MCs bonded over similar traumas. The mood in the book shifts between the serious and suspenseful manhunt of a serial killer to spicy 🌶️ in perfect proportions.

I listened to this book on audio. I always really enjoy Andi Arndt as a narrator but I did not enjoy the male narrator (Sebastian York) - reminded me of Daddy Swan from Twilight - which gave me the ick at first but eventually I got used to it and drowned those thoughts out.

Thank you to Catherine, Dreamscape Media, and NetGalley for the advance audiobook!

This book caught my attention from the start and didn't let it go until the very end. This was about a girl named Ridley, whose twin sister disappeared the night before their college graduation and was never found. Now as an adult Ridley has made a career out of traveling to towns with missing girls all across the country, trying to solve their disappearances on her podcast. She never figured out what happened to her sister, but she does everything she can to help others and bring them justice. When she arrives at her next town to start her next case, she gets off on the wrong foot with the sheriff named Colt, who makes assumptions about her before giving her a chance. But after being shown he was wrong about Ridley, he finds himself not being able to stop thinking about her. And then when things take a turn and she's in danger, he'll do whatever it takes to keep her safe. In this story, as Ridley is trying to figure out who keeps kidnapping girls, how they are all connected, and how this person keeps getting away with it, you're right there along side her trying to figure it out too. I had a couple characters I suspected, but this left me guessing until the end! I really enjoyed this one! For me it was the perfect combination of thrill, suspense, mystery, romance, and comedy! 🩷📚

Thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher for this audio ARC of All the Missing Pieces, in exchange for an honest review.

This book was fantastic. I can not say enough how much I enjoyed this story. I always love a romantic suspense but this story went above and beyond.

Ridley the podcaster and Colter the sheriff. I’m telling you this story would make the perfect TV show. I absolutely love these two and their chemistry was off the charts.

With the chemistry and romance is also a serial killer in the loose. Catherine seriously makes you doubt everyone and will keep you guessing until the end.

I was sucked in from the beginning and was so happy I also had the audio so I could listen while doing everything I had to do since I didn’t want to put it down.

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

the mystery in this truly had my on the edge of my seat! i loved all the connections between the characters and the podcast’s subject and the current crimes unraveling. i was never sure which direction it was headed. i thought the romance was very sweet, im a sucker for a grumpy, standoffish MMC who totally gets his a$$ handed to him when he is totally wrong about his first impression hehe. law man was so protective and caring and he was hard not to fall for!

True crime, podcast and romance all mixed into one?? Sign me up!!
This was emotional, healing and spicy and I couldn’t get enough. I also had absolutely no idea who the who was because Catherine Cowles catches me off guard every single time!
The audiobook was top notch!

this was a great fun audio! I v much enjoyed the podcast // true crime vibe of this one! the characters were a lot of fun and I enjoyed their banter

Loved this book! Audiobook Review 🎧
I love all Catherine Cowles’ books and this one is no exception.  I loved Ridley and Sheriff Colter and their journey to become a couple.  Ridley is a very strong woman and when she sets her mind to something, she will get to the bottom of it.  It took Colter a while to believe in what she was doing, but it eventually happened.  This story was fantastic and had a good amount of suspense that I love in a book.  The supporting characters were also great!  You can’t go wrong with Andi and SebYo narrating your book.  They were awesome and their voices were great for these characters!

First off - I just want to ask - where the heck have I been and why am I just finding Catherine Cowles?! I literally feel like I’ve been living under a rock because… what???!!! The positive side of this, Catherine, you have a new fan girl. I’m so dang excited to have found you and look forward to reading so much more by you.

This was a beautifully written book, and its flow of working pieces was perfection. There was suspense, romance + swoony moments, small town, and broken characters experiencing loss and grief. I could NOT put this book down. It was the perfect seesaw of eeriness and romance elements.

If you love true crime, this one's for you! This one was so good! Loved the audio so much I listened to it twice, right after I finished it! 🤣 Narration by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York was very well done. I love the introduction to this new town, Shady Cove, the new characters, and all the suspense and love that Catherine brings with her books! As always, this one had me guessing! And I was totally wrong 🤣

I think I may have found my new favorite Catherine Cowles book!!!

“𝐇𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐈 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧.”

I say this every time I read one of her books, but All the Missing Pieces blew me away. To say I was instantly immersed in this book is putting it lightly. When I saw it was a true crime podcaster x a small town sheriff I immediately knew I’d love it. The dynamic between Ridley and Colt had me flying through this book. I genuinely couldn’t put it down, and the tension and banter had me kicking my feet the entire time!

Ridley and Colt stole my heart from page one and they’ll steal yours too. Seeing them slowly begin to let one another in was everything I needed. They found a home within one another and peace they never thought they’d get. I was rooting for them every step of the way. And, as always I was blown away by that plot twist. I’m not sure how Catherine does it but they always shock me. This book is romantic suspense at its best, and it’s such a great read! I can’t recommend it enough!!

“𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞.”

And, as for the audiobook… it’s phenomenal!! Andi and Sebastian did such a great job at bringing Ridley and Colt to life. I couldn’t stop listening to it, and I loved getting to feel like I was in Shady Cove with them for a moment in time!

Catherine Cowles kicking off the new year and a new book with a bang! Also, can we talk about how gorgeous this book cover is?!? I'm obsessed!
Catherine had me hooked in the opening chapter when we meet Ridley and her twin sister and quickly learn of her twins abduction. I was so intrigued with Ridley's life following those events and the direction she took as a true crime podcaster.
As she tours the country to investigate and report on other missing women, she ends up in Shady Cove and meets the town's sheriff, Colt Brooks; who is not a Ridley fan! Their banter was so fun, I was very entertained!
While Ridley is in town, she seemingly gets close to some answers and someone in town doesn't want her there. As the crimes against her start escalating, the good sheriff takes her in.
When details start to unfold from her investigation, I was so far off about who committed the crimes! I loved that Catherine kept me guessing!
Highly recommend this stand alone book!!
