Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) LilyRoseShadowlyn | Feb 14, 2022 |  Amanda Steele and her partner, Trent, work for the Prince William County Police Department, and before she could even sit down at her desk, she and Trent, were called out to Leeslyvania State Park for a murder. A young woman was found, naked and cleaned of all traces of evidence, except a Black Orchid. The gorgeous Black Orchid can represent positive and negative connotations. Can symbolize bad luck, death and black magic. Also, strength, virility, sexual desires and success. Could the fact that Chloe Somner is deep into the environment and climate change be involved? She is a student at Geoffrey Michaels University and attends classes at the Potomac Center for Environmental Science and Policy. She is also involved with Planet Rebirth, an environmental group. She is studying the snails in Leesylvania State Park, where her body was found. I love when a peripheral character takes center stage, and Zoe does just that. We have met her before. She has become an anchor for Amanda, a bundle of love and joy. Also, does Amanda have romance on the horizon? Twists and turns abound. Step by step, suspect by suspect, clue by clue…we investigate. Characters from the Brandon Fisher FBI series make an appearance. Carolyn Arnold is a master at penning police procedural’s that keep me on my toes, flipping pages, unable to quit reading until the last page is read. Black Orchid Girls was a quick, easy read, filled with heart in my throat suspense and edge of my seat moments that made it unputdownable. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of Black Orchid Girls by Carolyn Arnold. See more at http://www.fundinmental.com (  ) sherry69 | Feb 10, 2022 | This number 4 in the Detective Amanda Steele series. I don't think that you would need to read the books in order, but it would help to if only to see how much Amanda has grown. Amanda Steele and her partner Trent Stenson are called to a National Pak to investigate the murder of a young woman. She was found stabbed, cleaned, naked and posed with a black orchid on her chest. I like the working relationship between Amanda and Trent. Amanda has accepted having a partner and they work well together. They can almost read each other thoughts at times. I think that Amanda and Trent might be developing feelings for each other, but neither of them has acknowledged or addressed it. At least Amanda hasn't really, to herself. Even though it appeared the detectives had suspects every time they turned around, I didn't figure it out. In fact, I had suspicions about two characters and the killer wasn't one of them. I would recommend if you enjoy detective series like I do. Thank you NetGalley, Carolyn Arnold and Bookouture. ( ) marykuhl | Feb 9, 2022 | A college student, Chloe, is found dead in a state park, killed very early in the morning. She has been stripped of her clothing and possessions, posed, and a black orchid placed on her. Amanda Steele and her partner, Trent Stenson, are on the case. Was the perpetrator someone close to Chloe or is there a serial killer at large? This was a fast, engrossing read. Amanda is a bit of a flawed character, but the death of her husband and daughter a few years earlier has had its impact on her. And, by the way, she is trying to adopt a young child, Zoe, orphaned after her parents were killed in an earlier story. I did have some questions about the partners’ procedures (really, interviewing two persons of interest together?), yet it remains a decent police procedural. I don’t feel compelled to go back and read the prior books in the series, but am looking forward to the next one. And, I wonder if the spark that was hinted at between Amanda and Trent will ignite, or will they remain supportive friends and partners…… ( ) vkmarco | Jan 21, 2022 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieAmanda Steele (4)
The first rays of sun filter through the tall trees, casting a faint light on the girl lying at the water's edge. Her tears have frozen on her pale face, a black orchid rests against her cold white skin. When hikers find the body of a beautiful young girl on the banks of the Potomac River, Detective Amanda Steele is shaken and confused. What is the significance of the delicate flower resting on the girl's torso? A sign of affection, or a twisted killer's calling card? The girl is Chloe Somner, a local nineteen-year-old ecology student well-known to the park rangers and loved by all her classmates. Searching Chloe's home, Amanda can't work out who could have tempted her to the water in the early hours of the morning, but a long night hunting through cold cases gives her a possible lead: twenty years ago another local girl was murdered, a red rose left on her body. But why would this killer strike again now? Focused on the past, the last thing Amanda expects is the news that Chloe's roommate has been found dead, another black orchid left. Terrified that more innocent victims will follow, can Amanda uncover the significance of the flowers and stop this cold-hearted killer before he returns for the next orchid girl...?
