After a string of brutal murders in Las Vegas, Cassie Hobbes and the Naturals are called in to investigate. Even with the team’s unique profiling talents, these murders seem baffling. Three casinos. Three bodies. Three very different methods of killing. All of the victims were killed in public, but never once does the killer show up on tape. And each victim has a string of numbers tattooed on their wrist. Hidden in the numbers is a code, but the closer the Naturals come to unraveling the mystery, the more perilous the case becomes.
Amid the glamour of the casinos, Sloan is forced to face her past head-on. Meanwhile, Cassie is dealing with her own painful mystery. Impossibly, there’s been a break in her mother’s case. As personal issues and tensions mount, the team threatens to tear at the seams. If they cannot pull together to solve this case, one of their own may be next.
All In is by far my favorite book of The Naturals series. It has the sharp writing, short chapters, and twisty mystery that made the first two books so addictive, but this time it features one of my favorite characters from the gang: Sloan. Sloan is the human computer of the group, understanding more about numbers than emotions. There is something so endearing and innocent about her character that makes the story more sharp and poignant. The ending also took me completely by surprise and left me desperate to get my hands on the final book in the series, Bad Blood.
Rated: Moderate, for one variation of strong profanity, 4 uses of moderate language, and 2 uses of mild language. As in the other books, violence includes descriptions of what the killer does and how they think. There are multiple deaths by various methods, sometimes made gruesome by facts relayed post-death. One death leaves a child as the only witness. References are made to characters’ abuse and trauma. Sexual content include brief implication of sexual activity between couples and some innuendo. Characters kiss.
