The unsolved murder of a young activist leads to the discovery of much darker crimes in New York Times bestselling author Allison Brennan’s latest compelling thriller to feaure the young, edgy detective Kara Quinn and the loner FBI agent Matt Costa. This time they work to uncover possible ties to a high-stakes cartel in the Southwest desert.

Something mysterious is killing the wildlife in the mountains just south of Tucson. When a college intern turned activist sets out to collect her own evidence, she, too, ends up dead. Local law enforcement is slow to get involved. That’s when the mobile FBI unit goes undercover to infiltrate the town and its copper refinery in search of possible leads.

Quinn and Costa find themselves scouring the desolate landscape, which keeps revealing clues to something much darker—greed, child trafficking and more death. As the body count adds up, it’s clear they have stumbled onto much more than they bargained for. Now they must figure out who is at the heart of this mayhem and stop them before more innocent lives are lost.

                                                          MY REVIEW:

Tell No Lies (Quinn & Costa #2)Tell No Lies by Allison Brennan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Emma Perez was out with her boyfriend trying to figure out what was killing the birds, she was killed. Now the investigation is opening up a whole set of worms.
Local law enforcement is slow to get involved. That’s when the mobile FBI unit goes undercover to infiltrate the town and its copper refinery in search of possible leads.
Quinn and Costa find themselves scouring the desolate landscape, which keeps revealing clues to something much darker—greed, child trafficking and more death.
I love Kara Quinn, she is a LAPD detective helping the FBI. Special Agent Mathias Costa of the FBI is now her boss and they have a on again off again relationship. Kara goes undercover as a bartender to find out what is going on in town.
When one of the families that is being investigated also owns the business in town. The owner's son takes a liking to Kara, but is he who she thinks he is. Maybe he is hiding something.
I borrowed the kindle book from the library so that I could continue on with this series.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Allison Brennan believes that life is too short to be bored, so she had five children and writes three books a year.

40 books and numerous short stories later, Allison relocated in 2019 from Northern California to Arizona with her husband and two youngest children.

She currently writes the Lucy Kincaid series and the Quinn & Costa series. Next up is THE WRONG VICTIM on 4/26/22 where Detective Kara Quinn & FBI Agent Matt Costa travel to the San Juan Islands to investigate a charter boat explosion that left nine dead. Kirkus Reviews says Kara Quinn is "A strong and damaged protagonist as compelling as Lisbeth Salander."

RT Book Reviews calls Allison “a master of suspense” and her books “haunting,” “mesmerizing,” “pulse-pounding” and “emotionally complex.” She's been nominated for many awards, and is a three time winner of the Reviewer's Choice award winner for RT Book Reviews as well as the Daphne du Maurier award. Most recently, she was nominated for Best Paperback Original by International Thriller Writers.
