Review: Seven Girls Gone by Allison Brennan

Author: Allison Brennan
Publisher: Mira
Publication Date: April 2023

For three years, women have been disappearing—and eventually turning up dead in the small bayou town of St. Augustine, Louisiana. Police detective Beau Hebert is the only one who seems to care, but with every witness quickly silenced and a corrupt police department set on keeping the cases unsolved, Beau’s investigation stalls at every turn.

With nobody else to trust, Beau calls in a favor from his friend on the FBI’s Mobile Response Team. While LAPD detective Kara Quinn works undercover to dig into the women’s murders and team leader Matt Costa officially investigates the in-custody death of a witness, Beau might finally have a chance at solving the case.

But in a town where everyone knows everyone, talking gets you killed and secrets stay buried, it’s going to take the entire team working around the clock to unravel the truth. Especially when they discover that the deep-seated corruption and the deadly drug-trafficking ring at the center of it all extends far beyond the small-town borders.

Seven Girls Gone is the fourth book in the Quinn & Costa series.  This time around, the team is called to solved the disappearance and murders of several woman in Louisiana. There are always secrets in a small town, and this one is no exception,  Local authorities don't want the FBI involved.  Can Kara, Matt and the team help an old friend figure out what is going on?

This is a solid addition to the series. The msytery was good and had a lot of twists.  It kept me guessing.  I love this team.  I love Kara and how she is slowly figuring out that she is a part of the team and that they are more like a family.  She is also beginning to come to terms with the fact that she may never be able to go back home.  Kara and Matt spend time apart in this one and their relationship is on a precipice. Not going to lie, it had me worried, but I can say the ending was perfect.  Each book in the series gets better and better.  I can't wait for the next one.
