This is the 10th book in the Nikki Hunt series. When remains are found in a closet in an old farmhouse that is being fixed up, she finds out that 10 years ago, a housemaid and her three children had disappeared. Just when she is starting to dig into this mystery, another child goes missing. Are the two related?

This is a great installment to the Nikki Hunt series! Great plot and character development that keeps you interested. I can't wait for the next one!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in return for my honest review.

I really love this series. While this book was mainly all business, I loved we got a moment of personal life with Nikki and her daughter’s birthday party.

This one is a twofer as Nikki investigates both a cold case and a current case. Her and her team work tirelessly to solve both cases. I really liked how seamlessly Nikki and her team moved between the two cases and it never felt that one was being prioritized over the other.

The cases are complex and layered and there were a lot of characters, which in a crime novel, that means a lot of potential suspects. While the pace is quick, I still had a lot of time to try and solve the case before the team and it kept me guessing. Since I always end up suspecting everyone, I have always had the right answer at some point, but I was never seriously on the right trail. And while I always want to guess it first, I give kudos to the author for keeping me in the dark.

This has a little bit of a dark subject matter, but it never felt too heavy or more so than other crime novels. The author weaves it in in a respectful way.

If you haven’t read any of this series, but love crime novels, this is a great one to start with. But any in the series is a good choice. It’s book 10 so you have plenty of choices. This is one of my favorite police series.

This book kept me guessing until the very end. What seems to be a pattern of teen boys going missing, Nikki is stumped and trying to leave no stone unturned. Not only does she have her current missing person case, but she’s tasked with figuring out what happened when two bodies are discovered behind a wall in a home purchased by a friend.

The latest captivating addition to the Nikki Hunt series, Little Child one, by the talented Stacy Green, is now available for readers.

As the new year unfolds, Agent Nikki Hunt receives a call to a property scheduled for renovations. The owner had uncovered something within a Hidden room that requires Nikki's attention. She is allowed to pursue this case on the condition that it does not conflict with any new infestations that may arise. Sheriff Miller contacts her about another missing young man, marking the third disappearance in recent years. Is there a serial kidnapper at large in Stillwater? Can Nikki save this latest victims life?

In this tenth installment, Stacy's writing continues to flourish! The storyline resonated with me on many levels, and I found myself relating to each of the victims portrayed. I adore Nikki's character : she is supportive, caring, assertive and authoritative - wonderful traits for an FBI agent and mother alike. I was compelling engrossed in this book, and if you enjoy twisty mystery thrillers, you will adore this one. Each book can be read as a standalone, so you don't need to have read the others but doing so will certainly enhance your reading experience.

This is book #10 in the Special Agent Nikki Hunt series, and it's still just as strong as it was right at the beginning!

The prologue hit it straight off, and I knew that life would be on hold until I'd finished.

This plot resolves around two cases. Nikki is trying to help, with some push back on the case of a missing 14 year old boy when she receives a call from her friend. He has recently bought a property to redevelop and has found the remains of two people. The bodies are identified as mother and teenage son, around the same age as the boy now missing. Are they the housekeeper and one of her children who supposedly disappeared in the middle of the night 10 years ago?

Are the two cases connected somehow?

When a frantic phone call comes in from the local Sheriff, another 14 year old boy has gone missing, Nikki has to start prioritising and fast. Doing what she does best, she gets her team to work.

The previous owner of the property has since died, and his children do not get along. Whilst his son is forthcoming with any information Nikki and her team need, his daughter is extremely obstructive and obstinate. What is she trying to hide?

As always, Nikki is being pulled in every direction. Having endured an awful lot of trauma in her life, she carries on with true empathy, courage, and strength, always fighting for justice and being a voice for the ones who no longer have a voice.

This had me guessing until the very second the conclusion hit, it wasnt what or who I was expecting at all.

I love the drip feed of personal backstories we get with each installment, watching the development of Nikki's character aswell as that of her daughter. The balance of her home life and work life are executed brilliantly throughout the series.

Full to the brim with suspense, tension, dread, and danger, this is completely unputdownable. I suggest finding a comfy spot and not moving until the very end.

Huge thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC.

BOOKWORMS REVIEW:
This is my first time reading from this FBI Agent Nikki Hunt series.. this is book 10. Thankfully it works as a standalone too but I will read the precious 9 also as its a great read. Bodies in a wall,missing teens,great likeable characters,so plenty to keep you rapidly turning pages. It grips you from the start and you wonder how it's all going to come together,but it does,and in a great way too...not confusing(which is important for me!).
Great read.
Bookworms Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(rounded up from 3.5).
Thank you to NetGalley Bookouture and Stacy Green for an arc to review.

I'm ashamed...it seems prior to now I've only read the seventh book in the series, Her Last Tear.

Little Child Gone is the tenth book in the Nikki Hunt series and didn't disappoint whatsoever. It's fast, frantic and edge of your seat suspense!

I was sold on the prologue! A few chapters later I WAS HOOKED! So much so that I binged the book in a few hours.

Chapters are narrated from both the housekeeper and the Hall family. Apart from Nikki I couldn't trust anyone...the doubts, the lies and their shady characters were too much!

I just wish we hadn't opened the cupboard...

This is such a great series. There are so many lovable characters, and the balance between Nikki's personal life and her job is done perfectly. It's so nice to see a lead agent with a loving family. Her team is fantastic too.

As always, the case had me hooked. There were plenty of twists and turns which made it impossible to put the book down. I hadn't guessed who the killer was and there were some heartbreaking secrets revealed.

It can be read as a standalone, but every book in this series is fantastic, so highly recommend reading them in order.

Interestingly, a case of a missing housekeeper and her children from ten years ago resurfaces. When bodies are discovered in a wall in a home, FBI Special Agent Nikki Hunt is assigned to the case and determined to ensure that the remains belong to the family. If they are indeed the victims, Nikki is committed to delivering justice. However, Nikki’s attention is diverted when the local sheriff’s teen son, Taylor, goes missing.

With the cold case and with Taylor having gone missing, Nikki certainly has a lot going on. She soon becomes curious as to whether or not these two cases could be connected, as there is something specific about the bodies discovered while there is something she soon discovers while looking for Taylor.

This Nikki Hunt series has been thrilling from the very start and Little Child Gone is no exception. The way Stacy Green brilliantly weaves the past and the present together is exciting, and keeps the reader engaged from the very first page.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.

This series seems to be getting better with each new installment. I absolutely adore the main characters and their bond.
This is one of my favourite crime series. Nikki is just awesome.
The balance of her personal life and gritty investigation is done perfectly. I also love her team.
They work so well together.
This book started on the edge of your seat and ended on it. There was action throughout it all.
This read had me flipping through the pages so fast so I could find out what happened next. It kept me on my toes the entire time.

Excellent book! I really liked Nikki Hunt. This was my first book but now I need to read the rest of the series!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

This is the best series I've read. The best thriller series. I'm so glad there will be more Nikki Hunt books. This author knows how to pull you in and keep you turning the pages. Holding your interest and making you feel like you are there. Stacy Green is one fantastic thriller/mystery writer.

In this, book #10, Nikki Hunt has a couple of cases going. One a cold case. Two bodies found in a boarded up apartment in a house. The other a boy is missing. Actually there are a couple of boys missing around the same age.

Ms Smith and her three children move in with Karl Hendrickson. Not in a romantic way but to work. To help him and have a safe place to live. Karl cared deeply for Ms Smith. Like the daughter he always wanted he said. He had a daughter but she was a bit cruel. She didn't care about anyone else and hated Ms Smith and her children. She accused them of sponging off her father and stealing from him. She said they were using him to get money. Karl told his daughter to leave and never return.

When Christy and Jared's son goes missing Nikki wonders if it's possibly related to two other freshman boys who went missing. One was found washed up on the creek bed but the other was still missing. Taylor was mad at his mom and she figured that was the reason he didn't come home. Until she finds out he never showed for work. And he never contacted anyone.

There is a whole lot going on in this book but I promise it's easy to follow. You hear all about each family. Both the cold case and the newly missing boy. Nikki and her team work hard to find out who the bodies in the closet are and who took Taylor. Or if Taylor ran away. She investigates all the involved parties and uncovers a few things that these people didn't want her to know about. Or anyone to know about.

This author always writes books that keep you guessing but rarely will you figure out who did what and why. At least with this one I didn't. The descriptions are so well done and the edge of your seat thrills are perfection. Stacy Green always produces the best thriller books.

Thank you to the publisher for this ARC.

Yes!!! Nikki Hunt is Back!!!

Little Child Gone by Stacy Green is the 10th book in the excellent Nikki Hunt series and what an excellent book this was. Hang on all these books within this series has been a 5 star read and this one was no different! I loved it.
It was a twisty and gripping mystery thriller that will have you hooked from the beginning till the very end!
This series ahs been one of the best out there to read and a great series to get your teeth into especially if you are on holiday, a great way to follow a great character especially as she is a woman!!!! Yes!

Big Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC.

I was immediately drawn into this story. I like that this was technically a cold case, but was connected to a current case that Nikki’s department was involved in. Even though there was a big of animosity among the local law enforcement and the FBI (I assume that happens far too often in real life), Nikki still had a huge impact on the cases.

Nikki is a compassionate FBI agent. I like that Stacy makes her so relatable. She’s a single working mother, with a boyfriend and an ex, all the things that make her more than simply her job.

This is my first Nikki Hunt book, and I definitely want to go back and read the others in this series. My love for female law enforcement officers continues to expand.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my copy of this book.

Stacy Green is still hitting it out of the ballpark with Little Child Gone, the 10th book in her thrilling and gripping Nikki Hunt series!!!!!! Woohoo! The thrilling and shocking prologue had me glued to the pages! That not only piqued my interest but had my heart pounding right away! Talk about an opener! I had to, not I needed to know more. Stacy Green delivered and then some! Wowza, what a book!

This book starts off strongly and never lets up as Special Agent Nikki Hunt is called to a home with a hidden room and the bones of two people have just been found!!!!! Nikki can't help but wonder if the bones belong to a housekeeper and her children who went missing from the home ten years earlier. Then she receives a frantic phone call from a local sheriff informing her that Taylor Hall, a fourteen-year-old has gone missing from his family's home!

Whew! Nikki has a lot on her plate in this book as she investigates the current case and wonders if it could in any way be connected to the cold case she is also investigating. This book had me turning the pages at warp speed. I was fully invested in the mystery and the investigative work. As with the other books in the series, I enjoyed getting glimpses into Nikki's private life as well which I always love. It has been wonderful reading the character development of Nikki, her daughter and those in their lives over the course of this series. I enjoy how the author balances Nikki's home and professional lives.

As with the other books in this series, Little Child Gone is brimming with tension, dread, suspense, and danger. It also has a nice number of twists and turns as well. Although this book is the 10th book in the series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone. Having said that, this is such a fantastic series that I recommend picking it up and reading it from the very beginning!

Wonderfully written, well thought out, perfectly plotted and mysterious!!!!!

Highly recommend!

Fast-Paced, Twisty, and Utterly Addictive
This edge-of-your-seat story in the Nikki Hunt series takes off from page one and never looks back.
The pace is relentless, packed with unexpected twists that keep you hooked as secrets unravel and deception falls apart, all leading to a finale that’s both shocking and deeply satisfying. A riveting, can’t-put-it-down read and a standout addition to this gripping series.

I jump on this tour every time that Green has a new book out in the series and say the same thing every time - I love these books and characters!!

This is another gripping book with a brilliant investigation. With two crimes being explored alongside each other - one in the present and one in the past - it's obvious that there will be a link somewhere along the lines, but I definitely couldn't predict which way it was heading! It certainly kept me guessing throughout!

Most of all, I just love these characters. There wasn't as much character development as there usually is in this one, but I'm glad her family were able to have a bit of a break as she gets on with work for a change.

I've said it many times but I'll say it again, if you haven't started this series yet, get on it!!

Little Child Gone is the tenth Nikki Hunt Book but still oh so good. By Stacy Green Nikki is married, her daughter happy and family is all around her. Such a sharp contrast to other families that are at the center of this mystery. Powerful story telling that keeps the reader engaged and page-turning. The Prologue seems so distant from the found bodies, then the missing boy but all these come to be woven intricately together.

Little Child Gone is an outstanding suspenseful FBI story which had twists and turns that I never saw coming. Highly recommend Little Child Gone and the entire Nikki Hunt series.

FBI agent Nikki Hunt is back with the 10th book in the series, Little Child Gone.
Besides the prologue, which was great, I found that the book started slow until around a third of the way in, then it picked up substantially, and I loved it.

I enjoyed the storyline with Nikki working on a case that could be years old, as well as a current case of a missing boy. The twists were brilliant as always, and I love how Nikki and her team work through the case to get answers and eventually solving the case. I felt like I was reading a script from Criminal Minds.

Stacy Green is a fantastic author, she has me completely invested in Nikki Hunt, and I hope there will be another addition to the series.

FBI Special Agent Nikki Hunt is pulled in two directions in this story. First, she gets called when some human remains are found in a closet. Then she gets a call to help when a 14 year-old boy goes missing. While reading this story, I felt like I should have been keeping notes in a little notebook to keep the facts straight - much as a law enforcement officer would do. I loved how there were these two storylines and the two cases were worked simultaneously. There were many interesting and varied characters, plot twists, suspense, and danger. I can't wait to see what is in store next for Nikki.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.
