Daphne Du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense Finalist from a USA Today Bestselling authorThe woman everyone loves to hate is dead.

Dallas socialite Cynthia Langhorne is infamous for her beauty, her philanthropy, and her home wrecking--until she's found shot through the heart and posed nude at a fundraising ball. The case is high profile, and there's a bigger problem: Cindy is the wife of a decorated FBI special agent--the prime suspect in her murder.
When the Bureau sends FBI profiler Atticus Spenser and forensic psychiatrist Dr. Caitlin Cassidy to Texas on behalf of Dutch Langhorne, the special agent-turned-suspect, they're suspicious of the very man whose interests they're supposed to protect. But with a psycho hitman on their heels and a trail of evidence leading up the food chain, it quickly becomes clear this is no ordinary case. The truth points to someone--or something--larger than Spenser and Cassidy ever thought possible. Solving this case is no longer a matter of clearing Dutch's name--it's a matter of national security.

At 12:45 AM this morning I resigned myself to the fact that Carey Baldwin had done it to me again. There was no way I was going to sleep until I reached the end of Baldwin's newest suspense thriller, NOTORIOUS. When fellow FBI agent Dutch Langhorne's high-profile, society wife is brutally murdered, forensic psychiatrist Caitlin Cassidy and FBI profiler Atticus Spenser are sent to Dallas to make sure their fellow agent gets a fair shake - if he's innocent - or is held accountable, if he isn't. Thus begins another intense, tightly woven, psychological thriller that took this reader on a roller coaster ride of twists and turns until arriving at the stunning conclusion. The characters are complex and fully formed. Baldwin, with her doctoral degrees in psychology and medicine, brings a chilling authenticity to the twisted minds of her villains that usually has me checking the door and window locks several times while reading her books. The darkness is nicely balanced by the banter between Cassidy and Spense as well as the emotion of their evolving romance. (this is the third book for this continuing couple) A superb secondary cast of characters moves the story along and leaves the reader with several choices of possible villains responsible for the murder as well as reasons for the crime. There were more than a few moments when I was certain I had it figured out only to be thrown another twist or turn that took me in an entirely different direction. One of the things I most enjoy about Baldwin's writing is that she keeps me guessing and once she grabs my attention (usually within the first ten pages), she holds it to the very end of the book. I highly recommend NOTORIOUS as well as the two earlier books in this series, FALLEN and JUDGMENT.

I won't give anything away other than what my title states. I truly enjoyed this story. I admire the way Ms. Baldwin manages to pepper hints throughout her books, then tie them in neat bows. Having said that, I was bothered by several things:

1. One of the murders too closely mimicked one from book 2, FALLEN.
2. Did not buy the argument Dutch came up with for Caity not talking to Spense immediately. She's a trained psychiatrist.
3. Aaron's second appearance was too contrived.
4. The entire premise of Dutch's and Cindy's marriage was a "Five minute conversation". How does one base an entire marriage on that? I realize that was the entire premise of Rhett's and Scarlett's marriage, but that was GONE WITH THE WIND. This isn't.

That's it. Otherwise I love that Spenser and Caity are moving forward with their relationship and I love that I get to solve the mysteries along with the couple. I will read the next book and will most likely read book one, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love these characters!

FBI Agent Atticus Spencer and psychiatrist Caity Cassidy are back! This time Spense's partner, Alex "Dutch" Langhorne, needs help in solving his wife's murder. It's no secret she hadn't always been faithful to him, a definite motive for the crime, causing the detective in charge to take a long, hard look at Dutch for the prime suspect. Cavity is positive Dutch didn't do it but Spense has his misgivings. Of course, he and Spense don't always getting along. Besides, Spense doesn't have all the facts, not like Caity. She knows keeping secrets from Spense could jeopardize their whole relationship but she's only doing it to protect him. Then both their lives are endangered and when it appears solving the case rests on finding Dutch's wife's diary, Caity has no choice but to tell Spense the truth. As they dodge a killer and attempt to set a trap, their personal feelings for one another come under fire as well.

This one kept me turning the pages, wanting to know what happens. The story was fast paced and the characters drew me in just like in the author's previous work. I think this is my favorite in the series so far. It's one you definitely don't want to miss.

Good character development in this third book of the series. Enjoyed getting to know Dutch as their third wheel. I have already ordered the other books in the series, so yes I am hooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-Paced FBI Mystery-Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2018

Warning: mild spoilers

Intricately plotted mystery with murder, blackmail, politics, messy family ties, philandering spouses, and lies enough to liven the story. There is romance but it doesn’t overwhelm the mystery storyline.

Excellent protagonists with foibles enough to make them human but not OTT as to render them cliches. Forensic psychiatrist Caitlin Cassidy & FBI profiler Atticus Spenser are sent to exculpate Dutch Langhorne, an FBI agent suspected of killing his cheating, socialite wife Cindy.

As Spenser and Cassidy investigate, someone (hiding behind a voice scrambler) sends an assassin to kill them and to also recover the dead wife’s missing diary. If Spenser & Cassidy rule out the FBI agent, did the assassin kill his wife or was it someone else? Also: Who is the assassin and why is he after them? They must also find the missing diary, unmask the assassin’s client, and figure out why the mysterious client is so focused on killing them.

Although this was my first Carey Baldwin mystery, I enjoyed her writing, and I recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars A little romance along with hunting killers
Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2017

Book #3 takes place within days of book #2, and I have no clue how Caity is still standing. She has been shot, beaten bloody, and almost killed numerous times in the first two books. In book #3 she and her partner Spense are again in danger trying to find the killer of a F.B.I. Members wife. There is a lot of twist and turns in this book, and though I really liked it, it felt rushed. Especially the personal turmoil part of the couples relationship. I honestly would have liked the conflict to have extended beyond this book. It had the potential to make a stronger relationship between the two main characters. In fact Spense being conflicted had so much potential for character growth. As with the other books in the series the 'guest' characters are well written, but the resolution of the plot I saw coming a mile away.

Yes I'm off to read book four, as it is a fun series.
