Another great case for the Casey White and Jericho. Love this series and to see what they get up to next. Plenty of twists and turns and suspense to keep me hooked. Well rounded characters. Great writing style. Didn’t guess the culprit until the reveal which is a big plus for me. Eagerly awaiting the next adventure. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to review it.

The thirteenth installment in the Casey White series delivers exactly what fans have come to love—familiar characters, gripping suspense, and emotionally charged storytelling. Casey, Jericho, and their blended family bring a warmth and continuity that makes each return to the Outer Banks feel like catching up with old friends.
The novel opens with a chilling scene: a young woman found drowned, her foot shackled to a rock. Spangler weaves in grounded, day-to-day details like the police station refurbishment that anchor the narrative and offer moments of normalcy amidst the chaos.
High-stakes scenes, such as the pulse-pounding bomb disposal sequence, are masterfully written and stand out as highlights of the book. Yet for all its thrills, I couldn't shake a feeling of déjà vu as past cases resurfaced. While it adds layers of personal investment, I’m hoping future installments let the team face fresh horrors without the shadow of their old investigations.
A compelling and well-crafted mystery with plenty of heart—but perhaps time to draw a line under the past and step into new ground.
Thanks to Netgalley and Bookoutre for providing me with an Advance Reader's Copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

Sometimes, I’m sad to come to the end of a book because then, I have to leave characters who feel like friends. This is how I felt when Shadow on Her Grace (Detective Casey White Book 13) ended. B. R. Spangler created a thrilling and suspenseful story. I’ve read most of the Casey White series, and this new story is a great addition.

The first chapter was quite poignant, with a description of Violet drowning, which was scary and sad. The duality of Casey’s life as both a detective and a soon-to-be bride adds depth to her character.

As the murders unfold, the stakes become increasingly personal, and the emotional weight of Casey’s previous cases weighs heavily on her, making her journey not just one of solving crimes but also of confronting her own demons. The author’s skillful plotting is on full display as the mystery unfolds. Every twist and turn feels carefully crafted, leading to a shocking and satisfying climax. The killer’s taunting gestures link back to Casey’s past and are executed quite well.

Shadow on Her Grave is a haunting tale that delivers thrills and suspense. I feel it’s a must-read for fans of the genre. I would highly recommend this book and this series because of the well-developed characters and their journeys, as well as the crisp writing of the author.

I have read books 1-12 and loved them. Book #13 was no exception!! I love all the characters and the way they have all evolved throughout the series. This book was fast paced and revisited some of the past cases, which was cool. Can’t wait for the next installment!!!

is there something familiar here for Casey. yes there is and it turns out not just because of how great this book was! Casey is back with a bang and things get close and sinister real quick for our brilliant detective.
you are bought straight in to the plot and it wont let go until the end. it was a guessing game for me as a reader throughout and it took me in all sorts of trusting directions which i kept being proven wrong each time i thought i might have the handle of things. but B.R.Spangler's writing style did this to me in the best of ways.
i like also how we get to see more from Casey and her personal life. we get to know her and get to care about her and the story so much more. you are connected. you are bothered. your are in. because someone is close to Casey. and in dark ways because they are creating old murder cases from her past cases. someone definitely seems to be targeting her. but how and why? and just who can she trust because of it?
Casey will need her wits about her. and can she convince everyone to follow and trust her own instincts. or will she be proved wrong and being led down a false path herself?
another wonderful addition to this series. i cant wait for more and am almost always sad when one ends.

Good book, highly recommend! Many bumps in the story to keep you engaged and you won’t be able to walk away until you see what happens next. Detective Casey White will keep you coming back for more!

I haven't read all of the Casey White series, but have enjoyed the books that I have read.
This one does not disappoint.
The murders all seem to be copy cat killings of previous cases, but the detectives know that the perpetrator is dead. Or do they?
Very well thought out, and unputdownable thriller.

Part of the Detective Casey White series. Shadow on Her Grave drops Casey into a series of chilling cases, which mirror crimes from her past. Multiple murders, twisted copycats, and threats..

This is a thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat, guessing until the very last page.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy for an honest review.

If you're after a crime thriller that you can devour in a single sitting, this one's it! Packed with action and twists. It’ll keep your eyes glued to the pages. Murder, bomb threats and cold cases. Told through both Casey's team, the culprits and the victims POVs.

What. A. Wild. Ride.

Holy Cannoli. That was such a crazy ride. I love this series. I truly hope there will be more. Jericho, Casey and Tracy are favorites.

"Fantastic book!! Just like the others, it kept me up until I finished it in one go. Beyond the gripping crime story, I loved following Detective White from the beginning and watching how her different relationships evolve. Absolutely addictive!"

When the first case in this story was described, I immediately had a sense of déjà vu. And not long after, it turned out I was completely right—Casey felt exactly the same.
What’s more chilling than someone digging up old murder cases and recreating them? What is the purpose of this? It seems like someone is targeting her for some still-unclear reason, but as the story progresses, it becomes more and more apparent that she isn’t the only one in the killer’s sights.

When Casey has a hunch about the identity of the killer, it seems like everyone on her team thinks she’s lost her mind—but she insists on following her instincts. Was she right all along, or are they chasing the wrong lead?

And then there’s that final chapter, especially the first sentence… I think I stopped breathing for a moment.
This is book 13, a number many consider unlucky. Luckily, Casey and Jericho aren’t superstitious, and fortune is on their side.

This is one of my favorite series—not only because of the amazing main characters, but also because of the author’s creativity and storytelling talent. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and am eagerly and impatiently awaiting the next book. 5 stars.

Thank you.

Mystery with realistic characters…Casey is back. For how long? A quick read with red herrings which kept me guessing. A page turner. Even the title is suspenseful. Thanks Netgalley.

Shadow on her grave by B.R. Spangler.
Detective Casey White Book 13.
This was a really good read. This is my 3rd book by this author. I got into it straight away. I read this in a few days. I did like Casey character. I liked the writing style and the story. I did have a theory of who it was. But I was wrong. I was surprised by who it was. I did like the ending. I do hope there is more to come. I would recommend this book.


Blurb.
The beads of saltwater caught on her cracked lips glitter in the moonlight, her long brown hair floating in the tide. But this beautiful girl is lost forever. And Casey’s biggest fears are realised. Someone is copying the worst of her previous following her like a shadow. And they’ll stop at nothing to make sure she pays for her own mistakes…

As her soon-to-be-husband, Jericho Flynn, goes back to work as town sheriff, Detective Casey White is left juggling her work alongside her growing family. And when a spate of troubling murders hit the Outer Banks, the happy couple are stopped in their tracks…

Casey is called to a crime scene with eerie echoes to a killing she solved years ago. A young woman has been anchored to a boulder and drowned, just like in the Saltwater Graves murders.

Then a handwritten poem is delivered to Casey at the station. She immediately recognises the writing as that of a previous victim she couldn’t save. The killer is pointing them to yet another crime scene from Casey’s past. Only someone with knowledge of the original cases could recreate these murders with terrible accuracy. And the only link is Casey herself.

The team chase the lead to a now-derelict beach house, way out on an abandoned island. Casey is totally devastated when they discover the lifeless body of Jericho’s wife, Jessie Flynn, posed in one of the upstairs rooms.

This is her most personal challenge yet. As they chase down a killer that could be closer than they ever imagined, will Casey and Jericho both make it out alive?
