REVIEW: FOREST OF SECRETS is the third instalment in Kate Gable’s contemporary, adult ALEXIS FORREST FBI MYSTERY THRILLER series focusing on thirty year old, forensic psychologist and rookie FBI agent Alexis Forrest.

SOME BACKGROUND: Twenty years earlier, Alexis’ older sister Maddie was abducted and murdered, destroying the Forest family in the process. With her return to Broken Hill to investigate a series of similar abductions, Alexis will reconnect with family, and the man who once held her heart.

Told from several first person perspectives including Alexis and the killer FOREST OF SECRETS focuses on our story line heroine as she continues to search for a serial killer. FBI Forensic psychologist Alexis Forrest is hoping to find her sister’s killer but twenty years has passed, and a killer is luring Alexis with all the right clues and history from the past . The discovery of a number of victims pushes Alexis beyond her abilities alone, and the threats are once again becoming personal and dark.

Ripped from actual and real headlines, the search for a missing woman, a young mother of two preschool toddlers begins to take an ominous turn when any and all potential witnesses weave a tale of secrets and lies, lies that turn the focus on the victim, herself. A distraught husband, infidelity, and a need for fame and attention, reveals a woman whose fragile ego and scream for help is nothing less than unbelievable and mad.

Once again, Kate Gable pulls the reader into a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and madness, power, control and obsession. FOREST OF SECRETS is a suspense filled, fast paced, character driven story that is intriguing, dramatic and gripping; the characters are desperate and determined; the romance between Alexis and her high school sweetheart Mitch is struggling is the face of Alexis’ preoccupation with past, and her need to, most often, go it …alone.
