The Naturals - 3: All In

More about the book

Three casinos. Three bodies. Three days. In the wake of a series of brutal murders in Las Vegas, Cassie Hobbes and the Naturals are summoned to investigate. Despite their unique profiling skills, the case proves perplexing: the killer employs different methods for each murder, all occurring in public, yet remains invisible to security cameras. Each victim bears a string of numbers tattooed on their wrist, concealing a code that deepens the mystery. As the Naturals inch closer to the truth, the stakes grow higher. Concurrently, Cassie faces a personal crisis with a breakthrough in her mother's long-unsolved case. Tensions within the team escalate as they confront impossible odds and make difficult choices. Praise for the series highlights its appeal, with Kirkus Reviews calling it "a welcome addition to the teen-sleuth genre." Barnes's writing keeps readers engaged, and Booklist notes that fans will eagerly anticipate the next installment. School Library Journal emphasizes its value for libraries, while VOYA describes the plot as intricately woven, ensuring that readers remain guessing. Recognized by YALSA as a Best Book for Young Adults and Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, the series has garnered acclaim, with comparisons to "Criminal Minds for the YA world" and commendations for its suspenseful pacing and unexpected twists.
