All the Missing Pieces is different to anything Catherine has written before, but it still has her usual small-town charm mixed with romantic suspense and I was hooked from the first page of the prologue.
After her own family tragedy Ridley becomes a true crime podcaster (Sounds Like Serial) who investigates cold cases in the hope of bringing closure to families. Colt is the sheriff of Shady Cove and while he is not happy that Ridley is in town asking questions they actually have something in common that might lead to healing for both of them.
I love Ridley’s fierceness; she’s empathetic, brave, stubborn and the perfect match for Colt. He might be a bit grumpy but I love the protectiveness that Colt has for Ridley and I also love their chemistry! They are perfect together.
All the Missing Pieces had me glued to the pages as I needed answers, but as usual the twist took me by surprise and I was completely wrong about who the villain was! This book is the perfect mix of suspense, romance and a dash of humour.
– small town

Here’s the synopsis
Sometimes the last thing you expect is exactly what you need, the final missing piece. And sometimes it comes in the form of a towering, broody sheriff, determined to get in your way at every step.
Ridley Sawyer knows what it’s like to miss someone, to feel like a piece of her vanished–because it happened to her the night her twin sister disappeared.
Now, Ridley channels that loss into hope, traveling the country covering cold cases for her true crime podcast. She might not have found justice for her sister but that doesn’t stop her from finding it for others.
Until Sheriff Colter Brooks gets in her way.
Colt knows what it’s like to have reporters descend on his town in the wake of a tragedy, and he’s not about to let a fiery podcaster stir up trouble. It doesn’t matter that her haunting blue eyes tell him there’s more to Ridley’s story or that he can’t stop imagining what it would be like to touch her.
But when Ridley’s cold case turns hot and she’s thrust into the crosshairs, Colt has no choice but to step in. Suddenly, Ridley’s living at his house, drinking his whiskey, and stealing his dog’s affections. But she’s also proving that she’s so much more than his first impression.
And as they get closer to the truth, the game they’ve been playing might just turn deadly…
