The Dating App Assaults

Peyton Brooks, FBI: Hate Crimes Division: Book 1

By: M.L. Hamilton

Narrated by: Kelley Hazen

After her maternity leave, Peyton reluctantly returns to her job as the lead for the Hate Crimes Division. Taking this job was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. It meant staying home with her growing family and being there for all of her baby’s firsts, but this team is not like her last one, and personality conflicts are inevitable.

To complicate things further, the nature of the crimes she must now solve is heartbreaking. Hate crimes are a particularly heinous set of cases, involving marginalized people in horrifying predicaments, and her first case is no exception. When gay men are being assaulted for using a popular dating app, Peyton and her team must discover the perpetrators as quickly as they can, before another young man winds up injured, or worse, dead.

But can she hold her team together in order to solve this case? And will the demands of a new leadership role put unnecessary strain on her family?

With each swipe left, another innocent victim may be in the crosshairs of an assailant who has no mercy.

Peyton

I've listened to the entire 233 hrs of the Peyton Brooks series and as a truck driver, it has kept me entertained. I cry because now I'm not sure what to do with my time.. I look forward to the next book and have fallen in love with all the characters.

One of the best stories for Peyton

This dating app assault story is one of the best of the series and I welcome the beginning of a new book for Peyton Brooks Hate Sq- it is humorous it is a little more complicated, so I had to listen to it twice to get the full depth of it But it is great😁

An Awesome Listen

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and enjoyed it very much. The first book in the new series is here and it is delightful. All the familiar characters for the previous series are here along with a few new ones, including Piper Peyton's and Marco's 7 month old daughter. Peyton has her first case in the Hate Crimes division with a team that's not quite in sync. Marco has his crew look at a 13 year old missing person case. The story maybe new, but it's the same great writing and narrating that has provided hours of listening pleasure with unique characters and intriguing plots. Looking forward to the next one.

Not as good as previous books

I felt the storyline moved too slowly, and it seemed like there were robotic characters speaking. I felt OK at the end of the story, but certainly not the way the other books have left me feeling

Long Wait

I love the characters but finally Peyton is back with new character of Piper Marco and her daughter. In this book Peyton is trying to solve a hate crime who uses a dating app to hurt and even kill gay guys, while Marco is trying to solve a 13yr missing persons case. Cannot wait for next book. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you
