Thank you, Catherine, for this ARC/ALC! I’m already planning which of your books to dive into next because if they’re anything like this book, I’m in for a treat.
Where do I even start with this one? All the Missing Pieces gave me everything I didn't know I needed—romance, suspense, murder mystery vibes, and those small-town secrets that make your heart race.
The story follows our FMC, a fearless podcaster determined to solve cold cases, and a broody small-town sheriff who's not thrilled about her sniffing around his quiet town. Their banter? Perfection. Their chemistry? Off the charts. And let’s just say, the small-town vibes were chef’s kiss. I could almost feel the autumn breeze and hear the whispers of the town’s secrets.
The suspense had me hooked from the very first chapter. Catherine Cowles masterfully weaves the romance and mystery together, keeping you on the edge of your seat while rooting for the characters. The twists? Didn’t see them coming! And can we talk about the sheriff? The ultimate grumpy protector with a soft side that sneaks up on you. He’s impossible not to love.
This was my first book by Catherine Cowles, and let me just say, this is where my journey with her books begins. I’m officially a fan! And the audiobook? WOW. The narrators truly brought these characters to life. Their voices perfectly captured the tension, the emotions, and all the small-town charm.
If you love small-town romances with a suspenseful edge, go pick this up ASAP!

I liked this! I was looking forward to reading this book, and I quite enjoyed not knowing a lot about the story going in. I really liked Ridley and thought she was a great character. I enjoyed learning bits of her story as the book goes and getting to the reasons and motivations for starting the podcast.
After reading Catherine Cowles whole blacklist last year, I'm quite familiar with her writing style, and I had a couple of suspects early on in the book, but I will say that the reveal still surprised me as I was more convinced someone else was the bad guy, so I quite enjoyed the ending!
Compared to some of her books, this one had a slower pace, but it made sense for the development of the story and the relationship.
Colt was a good MMC, albeit a tad stubborn, but I liked how they supported each other (as always, my brain automatically skipped over the nicknames because they are just not for me
I felt that the romance took a backseat, and the main plot was the case, which I actually really enjoyed. The story got quite dark at some points, so definitely check trigger warnings before staring! Overall, I quite enjoyed All The Missing Pieces, read it in a couple of days, and was surprised by the ending, so 4 from me!

This was a great romantic suspense mystery set in a cute small town with fun side characters! Fans of Devney Perry would enjoy this as well!

Um WOW🤯 I don’t even know where to start, but let’s get into it!
I didn’t know what to expect going into this book. Idk why I decided that this was the moment to read this, but I’m sooo glad I did! It was a bit of a slow start, but once it picked up, IT. PICKED. UP!!!!
It was a romantic suspense book, so obviously there was a mystery element to it. I absolutely love mysteries, but I’m also the person who is yelling “HE DID IT” after the first character is introduced😂 And baby when I tell you I was NOWHERE NEAR the ballpark of who the killer was😂 I wasn’t even in the same country🥴 Like I was literally so shocked, but I also felt like Kronk when it started to click(“oh yeah, it’s all coming together”)🫠
And of course we all love a sexy sheriff, and Colter Brooks was definitely that🤭 cause that spice was definitely SPICING🥵
The story definitely wrapped up nicely and I loved how closure was brought to every family in the end, including closure from side stories that even the characters didn’t expect.
Overall, this book was amazing and I will definitely be picking up more of Catherine Cowles’s books in the very near future!
