When the local police in Hilldale requested Detective Eve Bennet and her task force attend an incident, she shuddered at returning to the town. She also had no idea what was ahead of her and the team. The long drive culminated in the horror of a dead man in the boot of a car; a man who'd been buried and dug up again to be moved. Eve thought he was familiar but she couldn't put her finger on who it was - although she knew she'd work it out. The two women and a twelve year old child in the vehicle refused to speak, which Eve knew was common for the local polygamy community in Hilldale. Eve had escaped their clutches when she was twelve, rescued by her mother Maggie...

As the task force set out to find the identity of the killer, they also attended to the women, who were sent to a jail, still refusing to speak. The girl, Beth, spoke to Eve when she was separated from the women, but she was terrified. Eve vowed to do all she could to keep her safe. The marriage she was meant to have the following day at least wouldn't happen. When Eve was confronted by a horror figure from her past, she battled her emotions, refusing to let his presence upset her. With the four members of her task force surrounding her, having her back, Eve was furious and determined. But could she find the solutions to all the questions she had? They all knew that danger surrounded them; they were being watched continually. Would they escape with their lives?

Pray for Her is the 3rd in the Detective Eve Bennet series by Holly S. Roberts and is an outstanding crime thriller! It gripped me from the first page to the last! Eve is an intriguing character, full of inner strength and is a formidable opponent. Clyde, Bina, Collin and Ray made up the task force alongside Eve, and are also well-placed in the team. I'm so glad I started this series - each book gets better and I can't wait for #4. Highly recommended.

Detective Eve Bennet once again finds herself facing issues of her past while she works on her newest case. Eve is once again investigating a crime that is tied to a fundamentalist community, a community she knows all too well. The women that are part of that community have no voice, and with the situation being as it is, Eve must get someone to talk.

Eve’s case involves that of trying to determine the identity of a dead man and how the body is connected to the fundamentalist community. At first, she faces two women and a young girl. However, due to the way their lives exist in the community they are from, they refuse to answer any questions.

Eve beyond shocked when she is forced to face a man from her past. However, calm and collected, Eve digs deep for the answers that are needed. However, the closer she
gets to the truth, the more danger she is faced with, even to the point where her life could be at risk.

Pray for Her is a powerful read, and hits the ground running from the very start. Eve is a wonderful detective, and her connection to her team while constantly being reminded of her unsettling past made this story one that was utterly impossible to put down.

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

This is a great crime thriller that centres around a community where men are in control.
Eve is called when a dead man’s body is found in the boot of a car being driven by two women from her old community. There’s also a young girl with them and none of them will speak.
In the community where Eve was born women are second class citizens and with men having many wives, she knows it’s ly that the two women in the car have been told to take the body somewhere.
It takes a while, but Eve manages to gain the young girl’s trust and she explains how she came to be in the car.
With a man from Eve’s past showing up, she is shaken when she comes face to face with him and when attempts are made to kill her, Eve knows she needs to try and end the corruption in the area.
This is a gripping crime thriller.

Each book in the detective Eve Bennett series gets better and better!! I love the character development and how fun the characters are! This one had the best mystery that kept me guessing until the very end!! 2 s Carly Rushforth452 28

?My Thoughts?

I loved the first two books in this series, they’re something a little different because the main character Eve was part of a polygamist cult now she’s the head of a task force trying take them down right in the heart of Utah.

This case starts with two women and a child from the cult being pulled over in a car with a dead body in the trunk.

This series just keeps on getting better and even though Eve keeps taking blow after blow and keeps on getting back up.

This time it’s personal though and a terrifying figure from her past comes up into her life when she least expect it.

If you want to be kept on the edge of your seat right until the very last page then this book is for you.6 s Mags2,772 31

4.5?

Detective Eve Bennett and her team are back in another cracking read. As they are called back to Hilldale and the polygamist community. When a car is pulled over with two women, a child and a dead body in the boot. 

But when Eve, Ray, Clyde, Colin and Bina arrive on the scene. They find three scared females unwilling to talk and a dead body that has clearly just been dug up. And so they need to get the woman somewhere safe to interview them and the body removed and identified. But that means involving the local sheriff and a member of the community. Who is someone who can't be trusted.

And he's soon asking questions he shouldn't and he's not the only one. As Eve comes face to face with a man from her past someone she hoped to never see again and someone whose about to make her job much more complicated.

Especially when the team are dealt a shocking blow. When one of their own is shot and left for dead.

And now all bets are off. 

As the rest of team pull out all the stops to find those responsible. Whilst desperately hoping their friend and colleague survive an almost unsurvivable gunshot wound. 

And with so many twists and turns, great detail, devastating moments, shocks and surprises. This was a brilliant addition to the series, and I would happily recommend it to all. 

My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an early copy of Pray For Her.
