Description

“A MASTERPIECE OF THRILLER AND MYSTERY. Blake Pierce did a magnificent job developing characters with a psychological side so well described that we feel inside their minds, follow their fears and cheer for their success. Full of twists, this book will keep you awake until the turn of the last page.” 
--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (re Once Gone) 

IF SHE KNEW (A Kate Wise Mystery) is book #1 in a new psychological thriller series by bestselling author Blake Pierce, whose #1 bestseller Once Gone (Book #1) (a free download) has received over 1,000 five star reviews. 

55 year old empty nester—and freshly retired FBI agent—Kate Wise finds herself drawn out of her quiet suburban life when her friend’s daughter is murdered in a home invasion—and she is implored to help.

Kate thought she left the FBI behind after 30 years as their top agent, respected for her brilliant mind, tough street skills and her uncanny ability to hunt down serial killers. Yet Kate, bored with the quiet town, at a crossroads in life, is summoned by a friend she can’t turn down.

As Kate hunts the killer, she soon finds herself at the forefront of a manhunt, as more bodies turn up—all suburban moms in perfect marriages—and it becomes apparent there is a serial killer stalking this quiet town. She unearths secrets from her neighbors she wishes she never knew, discovering that all is not what it seems in this picture of model streets and neighbors. Affairs and lying are rampant, and Kate must sift through the town’s underbelly if she will stop the killer from striking again.

But this killer is one step ahead of her, and it may end up being Kate who is in danger.

An action-packed thriller with heart-pounding suspense, IF SHE KNEW is book #1 in a riveting new series that will leave you turning pages late into the night. 

Book #2 in the KATE WISE MYSTERY series is available for pre-order!

    Do you like a book that has a lot of detail this is definitely one for you. It lacked the twist. I was hoping it would have, but it was written very well.

  • Could be a good book but

    Great story but copy editor needs to work a bit harder, making sure verb tense coheres throughout any given passage of text correctly.

  • Fast paced

    Kate Wise is a retired FBI agent. She’s only 55 yrs old and is bored with retirement after only one year. A friend’s daughter is murdered and the friend asked Kate to look into it. Of course she can’t get any info since she’s retired. But her old boss tells her they might bring her on part time to work some cold cases. In the meantime another murder takes place in the same neighborhood as the last. Her boss assigns her the case temporarily with the stipulation she mentor this new female agent, DeMarco. In the meantime, Kete’s daughter has a baby, a month premature, making her wonder if she really wants to go back to work. Kate is an adrenaline junkie and stays on the hunt for the killer even after being pulled from the case! Surprise action packed ending!

  • Kate Wise! 55 and kicking booteh!

    This is a story of a stellar agent who retired BUT knew and felt that retirement was not for her after a year. She is 50+ years old and still has it to be on active service. She makes me feel that age is nothing but a number and if you still have skills and intuition and instincts then you are still in the game. Now with a new partner who is a younger version of herself, you know that these two will be a team to be reckon with in the world of catching those ‘bad people & closing cases’ left and right. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for these two heroines!
