The moment detective Reed Novak steps onto the crime scene, he knows the case is going to rock his world. A beautiful young woman murdered at home. No sign of forced entry. No motive. She's obviously not the killer's first victim, and Reed's instincts tell him she won't be his last. Reed's first clue comes via a mysterious text that links to a dating profile, but even more intriguing than the clue is the person who sent it. As a white-hat hacker in the Delphi Center's cyber investigation unit, Laney Knox sneaks into some of the deepest, darkest corners of the Internet looking for predators. Laney would prefer to stay away from Austin PD's most recent murder case, but she can't ignore the chilling similarities between that crime and her own brutal attack years ago. Laney offers to help the sexy lead detective, but he wants more from her than just a promising tip--Reed wants her trust. Laney resists, but as their relationship deepens she's tempted to reveal the closely guarded secrets that could make her a key witness... or the killer's next victim.… (more)

Laney Knox is computer hacker extraordinaire, working at the Delphi Center. When she realizes that a recent murder parallels an attack on her from three years ago, she uses her computer skills to force her way into the investigation. Reed Novak, Austin PD detective is her way into the case, but he stubbornly refuses to listen to all of the clues that Laney is supplying until there is a second murder, making her impossible to ignore. All of the leads in the case point to a computer dating service and an expert hacker using the information he accesses to pick and stalk his targets. Even though they have very different styles and personalities, Reed and Laney must work together to prevent another murder.
This story is filled with references to computer hacking. For those not familiar with this world, the amount of information is a little daunting and explanations of that information often overshadow the story. However, the development of the unique characters who work with computers both in and outside the Delphi Center balances the plot. Overall, this is another good story in the Tracers Series. ( )

Deep Dark is romantic suspense done right. It's incredibly well-written with an amazing cast of characters. From page one I was completely immersed in the story..it certainly starts off with a bang.
The chemistry between Reed and Laney is off the charts and I love the way their relationship develops. Add in a serial killer and it makes for a thrilling read.
Prior to reading this I hadn't read any of the Tracers series but now I'm itching to get caught up!

A swoon-worthy detective. Forensics. Hacking. CSI. Murder mystery. This book has it all.

This book starts off on a high and doesn't stop until the very last page. "CIS", "NCIS" and "Criminal Minds" fans will absolutely love this series. The research is well done and the characters are believable and even likable...well at least the good guys. The only thing that kept it from 5 stars was the romance aspect. It was almost like the author said "Oh my...no romance ...better write in some. Who cares if it has nothing to do with the plot or adds anything to the storyline?" I will be looking for the rest of this series since of course I read it out of order:) ( )
