Reviews for The Girl He Took (A Paige King FBI Suspense Thriller—Book 3)

[Joann Sandgren · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Too wordy. Did not like the reader. Not at all believable.

[Cilica · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Narrator is amateurish at flowing and interpretition of the story. All good as the storyline is poorly written and unrealistic. Ending was painfully cheesey.

[J Fellowes · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Sadly all of the chapters are muddled and it is impossible to find the story line. I have tried switching off and on again. I have tried removing the book and reloading with no success. Feeling really frustrated.

The Girl He Took Book #3 : This cover Paige King as an FBI agent and this was her first official case in the BAU system she was very anxious and niveous during the case. That both she and agent Christopher Marriott were each avoiding to stage away from one another because of their attraction for one another. This case a reef among them during the case that they were not able to work together as partners during the interrogation of a suspense.
The local detective was able to notice the problem between both agents that she was able to point out the issues to the Paige King who though that she was covering her attraction well. But after this she tried to tell agent Christopher Marriott that their suspect is not the killer, but he would not listen. It led to Paige going out for herself to bring in the real killer.
Paige King is now an FBI agent & just started with the BAU. Her father's killer has killed again & she begs to be put on the case but is assigned with Christopher to a serial killer involving magicians in Las Vegas. Her boss promises that if she helps solve this case, he will give her more details about her father's killer. She & Chris work hard to solve their case, which has many twists and turns. Very good, page-turning book! Can't wait for the next one!
