    About this audiobook

    New York Times bestselling author Lisa Black launches a pulse-pounding new series with a taut, compelling forensic thriller that introduces Dr. Ellie Carr and Dr. Rachael Davies, who must combine their expertise to solve deadly crimes …

    When D.C. crime scene analyst Dr. Ellie Carr is called to investigate the heartrending case of a missing baby, she’s shocked to discover that the child’s mother is her own cousin. Close during their impoverished childhoods, Ellie and Rebecca eventually drifted apart. Rebecca
    is now half of a Washington power couple, and she and her wealthy lobbyist husband, Hunter, have been living a charmed life in an opulent mansion—until their infant son is taken.

    “Every contact leaves a trace.” That’s the basic principle of forensic science followed by pathologist Dr. Rachael Davies. A reluctant Ellie is teamed with Rachael, employed by Hunter to help with the investigation. Rachael is assistant dean at the prestigious Locard
    Forensic Institute, named in honor of the French criminologist who inspired the profession.

    But in this case, discovering where those traces lead quickly becomes a dangerous journey through a web of greed and deadly ambition.

    At first antagonists, then allies, Ellie and Rachael race to find the baby alive and bring the kidnappers to justice. What seemed like a simple ransom grab reveals links to a lobbying effort to loosen regulations on a billion-dollar gaming empire. Unless they can piece
    together the evidence before the Senate hearing, Rebecca’s son—and others like him—will face an unthinkable fate …

      Red Flags by Lisa BlackLocard Institute #1Great introduction to a new forensic research, study, and investigation series that will provide cases for private investigators with mad skills to solve a variety of cases with and perhaps without government, state, and local law enforcement agencies. What I liked: * Dr. Ellie Carr: DC FBI crime scene analyst, divorced, dedicated, difficult backstory that I hope to hear more about, on a case that many might recuse themselves from, would like to know more about her.* Dr. Rachael Davies: assistant director of Locard Institute, single parent to deceased sister’s toddler, counts on her mother for child care, has a proposition for Ellie at the end of the book* Ellie’s extended family (most of them): there for Ellie when she found herself an orphan at eleven* Taylor: Ellie’s first cousin once removed, a bystander in the disappearance of her younger brother, has much to contend with* The look into the gaming industry and its impact on children, the parental controls that may or may not be sufficient, and the “what-ifs” that were introduced* The plot, writing, and pacing * That it made me think and care about the outcome* The unexpected twist toward the end of the story* That though it took me awhile to get into the story…I could not put it down once engaged* That there are more books to look forward toWhat I didn’t like: * Who and what I was meant not to like* The mental anguish that some of the characters must have experienced* The cold calculating nature of a few of the charactersDid I enjoy this book? YesWould I read more in this series? YesThank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for the ARC – This is my honest review.4-5 Stars

      FBI, new-series, forensics, abduction, thriller, relatives, suspense, mystery, secrets, government-offices, politics, ethics, online-gaming****This is an amazingly detailed book that actually took me quite a bit of notating to keep the characters cohesive. The storyline is both complex and seems to compound (and sometimes confound). The interpersonals are well set up to continue into more in series, and that is a very good thing. The publisher's blurb is a good hook and not recap is needed. Loved it!I requested and received a free e-book copy from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

      Red Flags is a solid series launch with all the forensic details CSI fans have come to love. A big part of the plot hinges on child safety on the internet, which everyone would agree is extremely important. But no matter how many restrictions are placed on computer games aimed at children, no matter how many things parents try to drill into their children's heads, kids will be kids-- seemingly compelled to do stupid stuff all the while insisting that they'd never be dumb enough to do it. Yes, there is more than one child at risk in this book, and one of the best things about Red Flags is watching those children working out how to save themselves. (Speaking of red flags, if one is waving madly above your head at the thought of child endangerment, I'd like to put your mind at rest without saying any more that might possibly give away the plot.)If you're a reader who likes plot over characterization, Red Flags should be your cup of tea. There's plenty of misdirection, twists, turns, deceit... you name it. In fact, there's so much going on that a bit of trimming might have helped tighten up a lagging denouement. When all is said and done, Red Flags is a competent thriller with a strong story. However, none of the characters made me want to read more.(Review copy courtesy of the publisher and Net Galley)
