Summary
What really happened in the forest？ Hidden crimes and secrets of the past converge in a riveting thriller by Anne Frasier， the New York Times bestselling author of Find Me。
No strangers to evil， criminal profiler Reni Fisher and detective Daniel Ellis both still grapple with traumatizing pasts。 It unites them。 So has a crime they must solve before someone else dies。
At a campsite on California’s Pacific Crest Trail， a guide is murdered and three young hikers vanish without a trace。 The only lead is a puzzle in itself: a video of the crime scene， looking eerily staged， uploaded to social media。 The girl who posted it can’t be found。 Is it a viral hoax gone unspeakably wrong， or is there something more sinister at play in the forest？
The case intensifies when one of the missing is found wandering down a dirt road， confused and afraid。 As Reni and Daniel struggle to sort fact from fiction， a secret past collides with the present， threatening to sever their relationship。 Are some truths too much to bear？ Will this be the case that finally breaks them？

Best Mystery/Thriller of the SummerFrasier did not disappoint with another well written detective mystery。 The imagery depicting the desert is phenomenal and puts the reader right with the characters。 I could not put this book down and read it in a day。 I can’t wait for the next book in the series。

Once upon a time the criminals were the ones with the horrible， heartbreaking backgrounds。 Now it seems to be the protagonists。 These two， Reni Fisher and Daniel Ellis are definitely in the top five of the last few years。 Reni was a famous FBI profiler who retired due to a breakdown; Daniel is a San Bernardino Sheriff’s Office detective。 They were brought together to work in 2020’s terrific Find Me Inland Empire #1; Reni’s father has promised to point out Mojave Desert burial spots for some of Once upon a time the criminals were the ones with the horrible， heartbreaking backgrounds。 Now it seems to be the protagonists。 These two， Reni Fisher and Daniel Ellis are definitely in the top five of the last few years。 Reni was a famous FBI profiler who retired due to a breakdown; Daniel is a San Bernardino Sheriff’s Office detective。 They were brought together to work in 2020’s terrific Find Me Inland Empire #1; Reni’s father has promised to point out Mojave Desert burial spots for some of his murder victims。 As a very young girl Reni was used as bait for some of her father’s victims。 Daniel believes his mother is one of the victims。 When he was a young boy she left him with a babysitter to go on a date， never to be seen again。 （This is NOT a spoiler for first book）In the outstanding Tell Me Daniel once again contacts Reni for help。 He needs her to find a possible murder site in the Sierra Nevada mountain range。 A murder scene posted on YouTube。 If this is not a hoax， he needs her astute reading of the crime scene The parents of three teenage girls put them into a luxury rehab center to help break them of their severe social media and electronic device addiction。 As part of the treatment program the girls and their counselor/guide were hiking and camping along the Pacific Crest Trail which runs for 2600 miles through the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges。 Reni and Daniel find the guide brutally murdered， while the three teens have gone missing; showing signs of a panicked， scattered run in the middle of the night。 The sheriff’s office launches a massive search for the three girls involving all the of the area’s SAR teams， along with volunteers。 In some of Reni’s down time she has decided to put her mad skills finding people into looking at Daniel’s mother’s disappearance。 By the time she has finished her investigation she wishes she had left well enough alone。 Fascinating to ‘watch’ an expert at work。There were five books I anxiously awaited for release on NetGalley this year。 Tell Me is one of those five。 Well worth the wait。 One of the main reasons is for what Anne Frasier does with her settings。 I barely know anything about the Mojave， and had never heard of the Pacific Crest Trail。 Frasier brings it all alive and almost makes those places the stars。 Competition with stardom comes from what Frasier does with her amazing， intricate story; showcasing the spoiled teenage girls on the loose in an alien environment that doesn’t take well to newcomers。 Equal competition for book stardom comes from Daniel and Reni; trying their best to recover from the severe trauma of their childhoods and their last case。 They are forming a tentative friendship where each might help the other。 Inland Empire is a superb series。 I urge you to read both Find Me and Tell Me。I have to admit I was amused by the idea of social media rehab， silly idea that it is。 It’s not real is it？ Hmmmm， maybe I squirmed a bit。 Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC for review purposes。Like me please！ I need your likes。 I don’t feel complete without your likes。 I check you constantly。 I need your likes。 Your likes are all I care about， baby。 。。。more

A second case for former FBI Agent Reni Fisher and Detective Daniel Ellis。 After the previous case which involved Reni’s father， a convicted serial killer， she is hesitant to answer Daniel’s call for help。 Daniel has a case involving the possible murder of a woman who was camping。 Since the only evidence is a social media posting of a crime scene， he doesn’t know if there was a murder or if this is a hoax。 Reni knows the area well and would be able to help him locate the campsite。 The case becom A second case for former FBI Agent Reni Fisher and Detective Daniel Ellis。 After the previous case which involved Reni’s father， a convicted serial killer， she is hesitant to answer Daniel’s call for help。 Daniel has a case involving the possible murder of a woman who was camping。 Since the only evidence is a social media posting of a crime scene， he doesn’t know if there was a murder or if this is a hoax。 Reni knows the area well and would be able to help him locate the campsite。 The case becomes more bizarre when they locate the murder scene and realize that the woman was accompanying three teenagers and they are missing。 As Reni assists Daniel， their relationship deepens as they work to find the teens before it is too late。 I enjoy Reni’s complicated character and Daniel’s way of keeping her involved， but this story was a little confusing for me and not quite as enjoyable as the first book。 I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review。 （by paytonpuppy） 。。。more

Amazing work from one of the best mystery writer of this time。The story begins with one of the most scary situation that we can be in this day and age。 Alone in the dessert without technology or communication。 This is haunting and unsettling， but difficult to put down till the end。

As always Anne Frasier leaves me sitting on the edge of my seat swiping page to page needing to see where these brilliantly written characters take me next。 This sequel， rose to the occasion and I just loved following Reni and Daniel thru the dessert in search of missing girls and a killer。 While this book wrapped up this crime it also laid to rest little leftovers from the first book Find Me。 I’m not ready to say good bye to this desert set storyline， but I’m always excited for AF’s next read。

Anne Frasier's other series （featuring Jude Fontaine and Elise Sandburg） are well-written， tightly plotted thrillers with strong characterization， realistic dialogue， and a powerful sense of place。 All those things are also true of Tell Me， the second in the Inland Empire series。This series is set well away from the California coast， in the high and dry "Inland Empire" surrounding San Bernadino County。 The desert and forested mountains are well-portrayed， as are the many ways nature is inhospita Anne Frasier's other series （featuring Jude Fontaine and Elise Sandburg） are well-written， tightly plotted thrillers with strong characterization， realistic dialogue， and a powerful sense of place。 All those things are also true of Tell Me， the second in the Inland Empire series。This series is set well away from the California coast， in the high and dry "Inland Empire" surrounding San Bernadino County。 The desert and forested mountains are well-portrayed， as are the many ways nature is inhospitable to humans。My complaint with this book lies in the fact that， unlike with the other two series， I did not read them in order: I jumped right in with Tell Me， only to discover that it is definitely not a standalone。 I lost count of the number of times a reference was made to a person or event that presumably featured in Find Me， the first book -- without a whisper of an explanation as to who or what it meant。 In one case， after wondering for pages and pages what Reni's background was and why she would be called in on either a lost hiker search or a criminal case， there is a throwaway phrase about her having left the FBI。 Ah。 （My Kindle told me it was 19% of the way through the book！）A few explanatory phrases early on would've added to my enjoyment of Tell MeThanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for an advance readers copy。 。。。more

The 2nd book in the Inland Empire series， and it’s another good one。 The Californian desert backdrop is again the setting for another murder mystery that has even more surprises than initially thought。 The main characters from the first book form a deeper connection， and the mystery here has personal ties as well。 Good characters ， great setting。 I’m ready for the next one。

I was fortunate enough to discover Anne Frasier last year with her Inland Empire series and the second book， Tell Me， is a great follow up to Find Me。 Thank you so much to Amazon Publishing and Anne Frasier for my finished copy of this book。 After finding out her father is a serial killer， Reni Fisher is not okay。 She leaves her job at the FBI and wants a simple life of creating the art she loves so much。。。even if her paintings are of the places her father left his victims。 But when detective Da I was fortunate enough to discover Anne Frasier last year with her Inland Empire series and the second book， Tell Me， is a great follow up to Find Me。 Thank you so much to Amazon Publishing and Anne Frasier for my finished copy of this book。 After finding out her father is a serial killer， Reni Fisher is not okay。 She leaves her job at the FBI and wants a simple life of creating the art she loves so much。。。even if her paintings are of the places her father left his victims。 But when detective Daniel Ellis calls， needing help with a case， she knows she is best suited to head up to the Pacific Crest Trail to survey the scene。 Reni is also called because something isn’t quite right at the scene。。。it looks staged。 The only lead they have in the case is a video uploaded to social media showing the murder scene。 The woman who uploaded it disappeared into thin air and no one is sure if it’s a hoax or the real thing。 Regardless， there is the dead body of a hiking guide and three missing teenage girls， so something has gone horribly wrong。 Thoughts: After reading her first in the Inland Empire series， Find Me， I knew this series would be a hit， and Tell Me is just as compelling。 Anne Frasier does an amazing job of drawing the reader into the story immediately。 Reni is a dynamic， interesting， and flawed character that is easy to connect with。 Her relationship with Daniel is real and heartwarming， especially when they’ve both been through so much。 Broken characters are beautiful and these form a connection despite their pain。The setting in this book is a character in itself。 Being from this exact area in California， I know how well written these places are and could imagine myself in every one。 The dry heat of the desert， the fresh air of the mountains， and the lonely stretches of drive all add context and atmosphere to a heart-pounding story。 This book includes social commentary about and the male entitlement， anger and fear of students in school and the dangers of social media。 This book is perfect for people who are just starting to read thrillers and want to go on a fun and mysterious journey。 It is easy to follow， easy to connect with， and has a satisfying ending。 4-stars！ 。。。more

The second novel in the Inland Empire series， Tell me revolves around Daniel and Reni who is still recovering from the events that took place in the past。 When a body is found in the mountains and three young hikers vanish without a trace， Daniel and Reni must unite to solve the case。 The only lead is the video of the crime scene that seems staged for social media thrills。 Is it a hoax？ Or something more terrifying than that？To say I enjoyed this book would be an understatement。 Unfortunately， I The second novel in the Inland Empire series， Tell me revolves around Daniel and Reni who is still recovering from the events that took place in the past。 When a body is found in the mountains and three young hikers vanish without a trace， Daniel and Reni must unite to solve the case。 The only lead is the video of the crime scene that seems staged for social media thrills。 Is it a hoax？ Or something more terrifying than that？To say I enjoyed this book would be an understatement。 Unfortunately， I haven't read the first book in this series and hence I couldn't understand what was going on between Daniel and Reni at first。 But this aspect also served as a tool to increase my curiosity and stay engaged throughout the story。 There's also a slight chance for those who read the first book to find this one under their mark。 In my view， this book stands out for its realistic characters， scenes and laid-back writing style。 The lead characters have a dark past and are flawed yet they have a strong sense of morality and aren't hardened by the shadows of their past （which usually how books portray）。 Despite this fact， I found this a little bit slow for my taste and the finding the killer a little simple。 Maybe， it is because I haven't read any realistic thrillers。 Nonetheless， this is rectified by unexpected twists and adrenaline rushing scenes in the plot。 If you are a fan of Dan Brown books or generally a crime/thriller fan， this book does it for you。 。。。more

This was an easy， fun read full of adventure and mystery。 What I liked。: I love the idea of a camp for teens who are addicted to their electronics including phones。 And what a great plot device - you are now cut off from the world。 The story was told from multiple points of view， which is always my favorite。 The writing was excellent - I could picture the hiking trails， I could picture the campsite and the desert felt like i had been there。 I could feel the tension increasing as I continued to r This was an easy， fun read full of adventure and mystery。 What I liked。: I love the idea of a camp for teens who are addicted to their electronics including phones。 And what a great plot device - you are now cut off from the world。 The story was told from multiple points of view， which is always my favorite。 The writing was excellent - I could picture the hiking trails， I could picture the campsite and the desert felt like i had been there。 I could feel the tension increasing as I continued to read。 I really enjoyed the story and the plot - I kept the pages turning wanting to know what happened next。 What I didn't like: This was not the first book in a series。 Therefore， it kept referring to things that happened in the past。 I feel as if I would better understand the characters if I had read the previous book。 I want to thank the author， the publisher and #netgalley for the ARC which did not impact my review。 。 I really truly， enjoyed this book and I recommend it。 So why not 5 stars？ I save that last star for a book that makes me say "wow" when I am done reading it - that book that gives me a reading hangover。 But I would certainly buy this book again and will actually tell a few friends about it。 。。。more

The perfect follow up to the mystery and chills in book 1 of the series， Find Me。 This book， book 2 in the series， starts off fast and never slows down。 The murder mystery is exciting and complex， keeping the reader engaged。 Non-stop action leads to a breath taking climax and ultimately a surprisingly twisted revelation and conclusion。
