This was a fast paced book, it was a r and easy read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I really love a well thought out and very crafted
mystery that keeps me guessing the whole time. the characters were well developed and it had a great twist at the end. My only complaint is there was too much cussing. in the end it was a great read.

I finally got to reading this one and enjoyed it. True Crime stories and narratives are always my go-tos for informing and educating myself on how skewed the criminal justice system can be. The puzzle master/predator concept of this fictional tale, where two red-headed women went missing each year in Vancouver, was a clear indication that this maniac had a type, but it was fast-paced enough for me to stay intrigued.

I thought I could make it through, but nothing about the story really grabbed my attention. I did enjoy the setting but other than that I just could not get Into the story.

I 100% requested this book because of the fact that I’m a natural redhead.
The premise intrigued me.

The story itself felt like there were some plot inconsistencies, the syntax was very off for me, some parts of the story were just too far fetched - but the writing flows well. And it touched on the subject of human trafficking in a good way.

Overall, not my favorite read but not my least favorite read either. It just could use some clean up I think.

Each year, precisely two naturally red-haired women disappear in Vancouver.

Greta Morel was the first victim ten years ago, followed by another nineteen women until today. The mysterious people responsible for their disappearance left no trace while staging every abduction to look like each woman willingly left everything behind.

The lack of evidence of the potential crime had the Vancouver Police prioritizing the other cases.

However, when a piece of information regarding all the missing women gets passed on to Cliff Mason, an old-fashioned Chief of Police is forced to work on it with Buster McRoy, a devious Miami Detective whose celebrity career is built on lies.

But all hope shatters like a glass vase as yet another redhead gets abducted in front of their noses.

Gripped from the start. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a natural redhead, how could I resist a book by this title? The premise: a human trafficking ring has been kidnapping natural redheaded women in Vancouver, Canada, for a decade, exactly 2 per year (an explanation is provided for why only 2/year), and selling them for millions of dollars to rich men from around the world. Somehow, a detective from Miami is brought into the case, which is top secret because the Canadian officer working it believes powerful people in government and the police force are working with the traffickers. Meanwhile, Billy is a loner living in Whistler, B.C. who finds a stray dog that he realizes seems to have a "sixth sense" that enables it to identify killers. Through the dog, Billy gets involved in the investigation to find the redheads. It was fairly obvious that this book is self published: it could use editing for language (the writing is a bit stilted, although I got used to it) and content as there were quite a few inconsistencies and inaccuracies. It was an "ok" quick read.

Wow, that was a great read. I love the uniqueness of the story and the writing style. It’s a fast-paced thriller with many unexpected twists. The unpredictability of what will come next made me read this book in a day.

The mystery is done well, but the writing would embarrass my elementary school students. There are two many simple sentences. Compound and complex sentences would add to the variety as well as the readability.

This book read like a third grade book report. And that is slightly insulting to third graders. He stood up. He put his pants on. His pants were blue and he liked them. The Sun was shining. He went outside. That is what this book felt like. I kept turning the page thinking, HOPING that it would change. It did not.
