Even though we are only just done with book 2, I am a huge fan of the Jordan Manning series. Tamron Hall does such a great job with these books and Jordan's character and I loved Watch Where They Hide even more than As the Wicked Watch, so no sophomore slump here. In this installment, Jordan gets involved in the disappearance of a missing mother, and it is a story that will surely pull at your heartstrings. Hall does not shy away from raw subject matters, and she writes about abuse in a very emotional and real way. I think this is why I love the FMC so much, and besides her smarts, she is just an all-around seeker of the truth, which I can't help but love.

Susan Dalian is back as the narrator for the audiobook, and I am SO glad they haven't switched to someone else. She is my favorite person to be the voice of Jordan and she really lets the emotion of all of the characters shine through in her narration. Watch Where They Hide ended up being a twisty little read that left me gasping. Triggers will abound for some readers, so I would be sure to check them out on StoryGraph before reading. Even though this is a series book I think it is just fine as a standalone, which is a lot coming from someone who MUST read series books in order all of the time with no exceptions. This is a thought-provoking and heavier read with a light dose of humor that I would recommend to fans of suspense, drama, the author herself, and intense crime fiction.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
