As she describes herself, Keye Street is a "detective, private, a bail recovery agent, a process server, and a former criminal investigator analyst for the FBI." She was also fired --- the FBI likes their profilers sober.
Now 4 years sober, she has her own private investigations business and on occasion consults with the Atlanta Homocide Department when asked nicely. She also has a personal relationship with Aaron Rauser, homocide detective.
Keye has been called by Sheriff Ken Metzer to a small mid-Georgia town to help with a possible serial killer who has kidnapped, raped, tortured, and mutilated 2 teenage girls whose bodies have just been found.
This is the third in a series (The Stranger You Seek, Bk 1 and Stranger In The Room, Bk 2). The author has done a terrific job in that you dn't neccesarily have to read the books in order. She puts enough information into the 2nd and 3rd books so you get a hint of what has gone on before, without repeating half the previous book.
The characters are finely tuned and greatly diversified. Keye is half-Chinese and was adopted by a very southern white couple and also has an adopted African-American brother. Put Keye in the middle of a very small Georgia town and you just know there are going to be sparks.
I give this book 5 stars ..... very well written, descriptions of a hot, humid Georgia are spot-on. The secondary characters are people I would love to hang out with. And it is quite obvious she has done her homework when it comes to police procedure and serial killers.
Don't Talk To Strangers gets a solid 5 stars from me (as well as the first 2 books in this series). Now it's just a toe-tapping waiting period for the next one.

Finished this series in January 2018. It was an excellent series. Her main character, Keye Street is an ex-profiler and private investigator, who lives in Atlanta and is on the hunt for a serial killer. There are a lot of well-planned twists and turns that kept the pages turning. The book does take you on a wild adventure and is a lot of fun because of Keye's dry sense of humor. If you haven't read this series, I suggest you do, as it is very well written and they are books that are hard to put down.

I have really enjoyed this whole Keye Street series. Keye is a great character. These books are well written and defiantly have some moments of humor. I recommend them to mystery fans. I also recommend that you read the series in order for maximum enjoyment.

Book 3 of the Keye Street series is the best of the series so far. Read the first two in order to get the background of the characters but this book can also standalone. It certainly was not a disappointment. It was a fast moving and well written story. The pages kept turning for the beginning until the end. You think you know the killer until the surprise twist at the end. Can't wait for the author to complete the next installment. I find her books quite entertaining.
