NO ONE TO HELP HER a totally gripping crime thriller full of twists (Detective Chris Bailey Book 3) Kindle Edition

A killer with a dangerous obsession. Three young women shot to death. Each victim with one shoe missing.

It’s the middle of the night when Detective Chris Bailey is called to the side of a rural Tennessee highway. A young woman’s body is found sprawled on the shoulder of the winding country road, a glossy dark pool of blood around her head.

The victim has been shot five times. She isn’t wearing a coat, though it’s late February. Her empty purse discarded a few feet away, a single high-heeled pump obscenely alone in a pile of last year’s fallen leaves tinted with frost. Her other foot is bare.

Then another woman’s body is found, displayed in the same way. Detective Chris Bailey realizes he may have a serial killer on his hands.

Everything points to the first victim’s brother, Mick, especially when his sister’s ID and shoe are found at his house. Mick doesn’t seem to have a motive. And he’s only just moved back to the area after working a high-powered job in Chicago. But he did have a relationship with his sister’s best friend, which ended badly.

Mick is clearly at the center of everything, but Bailey isn’t sure how. Is he the killer, or is someone trying to frame him?

Perfect for fans of Melinda Leigh, Mary Burton, Debra Webb, Biba Pearce, Lisa Regan, D.K. Hood and Rachel Caine.

About the Author

Kate Watterson grew up on a steady diet of mystery and suspense novels. If there is intrigue involved on the page, she is a fan. An award-winning and bestselling author, she and her husband live on a lake in the beautiful wooded hills of rural southern Indiana with their two dogs and a very temperamental cat. She also writes historical novels as Emma Wildes. --This text refers to the paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great storyline BUT...
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2023
The major issue with this writer style is ,she gives you first names ,then later uses last names, then may use a nick names without FIRST, giving you the full name of the character when mentioned the first time she introduces them.
It took me 3/ 4 of the way into the book to figure out what Chris's last name was. Was Bailey a first name or a last name. if it chris belonged to Carter. I'm still not sure what Carters first name is. Sheriff Lawrence is mentioned in between Carter and Bailey discussing a lead, no mention of him for quite a while. but is brought in by just ,'Lawrence will be upset', Soon she does say Sheriff Lawrence , but not before I have to stop and try to remember who Lawrence is.
The story is great the premise is great. I just need to know who people are when they are first brought into a story.
Also it took me a while to figure out Samantha not being the other female that was with Trey .
Both names started with S and were long so I forgot the first girls name and thought they were the same. Until 3/4 of the way in the last names were used with the first names and I realized they were the different people. Very exhausting and easily repaired by the author giving first and last names in the first introction. Then giving us a reminder occasionally in the first part of the book whose -who.

she had written around 5 novels some yrs back that were terrific. I can't put my finger on it but this book is just not the same; a different writing style. Not sure if I'll pursue the series or not

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2022
This was by far the best out of the 3 books in this series and I hope she comes out with more! This book kept you guessing who the killer was until the very end and I loved it. But I want more!!! So many questions still unanswered about the characters themselves ..

4.0 out of 5 stars I would recommend this book as it did have some good twists.
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2022
No One to Help Her by Kate Watterson begins with Detective Chris Bailey being called to a crime scene. A body has been found dumped by the side of a remote country road. Then a second body is found. And a third. And the detective's brother is at the center of everything that is happening, but he is not the killer.

I'm not sure how to feel about this book. The dialogue felt stilted in places. The mystery was okay. There is a lot of romance in the book, which was okay, but it did seem to be more than usual in a book that is identified in the mystery/thriller genre.

This is book 3 in the series. I did not read the other 2, but I do not feel I missed anything. This can be read as a standalone book. I would recommend this book as it did have some good twists.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great story in a great series
Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2022
It is okay if you have not read the other books in the series, this book stands alone as a great murder mystery. Lots of twists and turns before you can figure out who did it. After reading it, you will know what to read next, the earlier books in the series. And I promise you that you will never look at a single shoe, laying by itself, somewhere unexpected, in the same way again.

Thank you Joffe Books for the advanced ARC.
