Faceless- A Joyfully Recommended Title

Deputy District Attorney, Carson Tanner has come a long way from the troublemaker he was 15 years ago, but he has never truly gotten over the murder of his family. Thankfully, his ex-girlfriend's father took Carson under his wing and helped to shape him into the man known as "The Avenger." When a man confesses to the murder of Carson's Family, it leads him to the truth that nothing is, as it seems. Annette Baxter is a street-smart beauty and she uses her wits to help the rich and powerful fix their problems in exchange for security and influence. Now someone is using her secrets against her and she has information that Carson needs to know before it is too late. Faceless is another masterpiece by Debra Webb. There is a reason that people wait anxiously for her next book to come out. Complicated characters and plot lines are well maintained throughout the story. I honestly could not even begin to guess at the identity of the killer until it was revealed. Faceless demands your attention and it haunts you until the last page.

good read

As are most of her more recent books, this one is entertaining and keeps you reading. Have this series and enjoyed each one.

fascinating investigative romantic suspense

Fifteen years have passed since the senseless slaughter of his family in Alabama, but in spite of his current position as a Deputy District Attorney, Carson Tanner has not received any closure; the case went cold a long time ago. He still thanks his girlfriend's father Senator Drake for taking care of him back then when he was a teenager suddenly alone with tragedy and trauma; however putting it behind him remains impossible. That is until apparently now when serial killer John Stokes confesses that he killed the Tanner family. Carson does not feel like his nightmare is over. When he meets Annette Baxter, they fall into each other's arms for one wild night. However, he soon learns she is a problem fixer for the affluent, including someone under investigation by Tanner's office. Soon afterward, leaks suddenly appear re the Tanner family homicides that lend credence to a rumor of a false confession. Carson begins to wonder what role Annette has played while she understands the only survival to the threats to their lives means escorting the ADA into a world of dishonesty This is a fascinating investigative romantic suspense thriller starring two opposites at least on how each sees justice. Carson was shaped by the deadly traumatic incident and goes out of his way to stay legal as he feels the law is above reproach; Annette has no qualms gleefully going outside the law and is proud to do so. They make the tale as together they might swim out of a small-town cesspool polluted with toxic corruption and murder; separately they will be the next two statistics. Harriet Klausner

Great mystery read

Debra Webb is becoming one of my must have authors, and FACELESS continues her list of great reads. After a surfeit of urban fantasies I found it a wonderful change of pace. Carson Tanner is a Deputy District Attorney, he is also a man on a mission. Fifteen years ago his family was murdered. Known as the Avenger, because of his dedication to his job, he has finally closed the murder of his family when a serial killer includes them in his final list. Unfortunately that is just the begining for Tanner. A beautiful woman seduces him one night and the next day he finds that she is the subject of an FBI investigation. Then she tells him everything is connected to his family's murder. He doesn't believe her but suddenly things are changing to quickly for him to understand. Annette Baxter has come from nothing, from the foster care system to being a prostitute, to being the go to person for the movers and shakers in Alabama. She has fought and climbed out of the gutter into the afflunce of the rich and famous. She is the protoge of Otis Fleming and the FBI intended to use anything they could find to force her to testify against him. Annette isn't worried about the FBI, she is worried about the people she has helped. The very ones who should be helping her are setting her up. She knows too much about certain people and things. Esspecially the murder of Carson's family. The story is intense and filled with action. The relationship between the characters is deeply emotional as Carson goes from hateing her to being unable to forget their interlude. Now he must use her and her knowledge, which she doles out piece by piece, to try to save their lives and bring the true killers to justice. I loved it. It is everything you want a good mystery to be. I was shocked and surprised at the ending and as long as she writes like this I will be buying her books. Very good read.
