The Ledger: A Maddy Reynolds Nail-Biter (Maddy's Pledge Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars (177)

"The Ledger weaves a tale of nonstop action and danger, all at a lightning pace. You'll read it more than once just to re-experience the excitement." –Megan Davidson, author of The Thundering

No matter how hard she tries, Maddy Reynolds can't seem to escape the darkest aspects of humanity. After leaving her New York detective career behind, she retires to the Adirondacks, but even the rolling mountains and wondrous beauty cannot keep evil at bay.

It's been years since The Glades burned to the ground, and evidence of the horrendous sex trafficking ring seems to have vanished with the smoke. But then, a new congressional investigation reveals the existence of a document with the names of the predators.

Believing Maddy knows where the document is, the predators dispatch hit men and mobster thugs, along with Maddy's long-time nemesis, Naomi White.

After learning the stakes and extent of this menace, Maddy's law enforcement colleagues find themselves in a race against the clock to save her, all while the former detective must find greater fortitude than she's ever had before.

Review

2024 Maxy Awards Finalist - Horror & Suspense

"Emotionally riveting crime/political thriller... following Maddy Reynolds, a headstrong, resilient ex-detective who seems to always find herself in the middle of insanely dangerous situations." -The Courtney Lancaster

"I found The Ledger exciting, somewhat unpredictable (I mean, you knew almost immediately Maddy would be getting in all kinds of dangerous situations, especially if you read The Glades!) and chocked full of thrills, right down to the unexpected twist at the climax." -Linda Brown, NetGalley Reviewer

"The Ledger weaves a tale of nonstop action and danger, all at a lightning pace. You'll read it more than once just to re-experience the excitement." -Megan Davidson, author of The Thundering

"Once again, Netti has woven compelling characters, old and new, a compelling wrought mystery, and our favorite detective into a can't-put-it-down story." -Anne-Marie Ray, Professor of English, State University of New York

    I loved the book; I wish I had read the previous books for help in understanding Maddy and her battles but will shortly take care of that problem by ordering the two and reading them. This was a book showing the struggles of Maddy who has stopped very bad people in the past but at great personal cost to herself. And she wonders if she can finally put this case to rest. The premise is there was a resort what doubled as a sex slave purchase facility. It's hard to understand the total depravity that some people have in their quest to get rich. At any cost is not an issue for them as long as they were the winners. Maddy fought and fought (with the help of a bear who was just hungry) and almost lost her beloved Adam. But in the end, she won, and many lost so all is good. Now if we could just find more Maddie's in real life. I'd highly recommend this book it's an eye opener to the extent some will go to live rich.

    Maddy has been in the thick of things a few times. Serial killers, sex trafficking, when does it ever stop? Now her husband is undercover, and she is looking for a ledger from the sex trafficking, and she wonders if they are working the same case.
    This is a good story. Read it.

    This is a very suspenseful, fast paced, edge of your seat, thriller. I’ve read all the stories in this series and each one is just as good as the next. I cannot wait to read more of Mr. Netti’s works.

    The Ledger Is a fast paced suspenseful and very engaging book. Maddy begins a new life on beautiful Berry Lake with her boyfriend Adam who is a police officer and Maddy herself is a retired detective. They both hope it is the beginning a quiet and peaceful existence.
    Maddy unknowingly has built her home near the base of a sex-trafficking ring. Although this sex-trafficking ring was destroyed years ago there is a ledger which if found will expose the sins of many powerful people, as it contains the names of every client who was associated with the Glades and bought young girls.
    When Adam leaves to go undercover little does Maddy know their worlds will collide as the people who are desperate to find the ledger will stop at nothing to get it before they are exposed. Maddy finds herself in the middle of this extremely dangerous predicament, but Maddy does not suffer fools or criminals easily and Maddy gets into all kinds of dangerous situations as the story unfolds and she certainly does not come up short on villains, including a hungry bear that has been terrorizing the area around Berry Lake. This is a professionally written book which had me captivated all through this very suspenseful book. I will certainly be reading more books by John Netti. Thanks to NetGalley and to the publishers of this book for giving me a free advance copy of the book to preview and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    Netti delivers a gripping follow-on to "The Glades" that stands alone. (I have not read his previous Maddy Reynolds book and had zero issues immersing myself in this story!)

    "The Ledger" is a tale about a woman who has seen the worst evil possible, destroyed it, and hopes never to have to deal with it again. But then she does.

    As Maddy Reynolds battles powerful predators desperate to recover a damning document, Netti's work weaves high-stakes action with uncommon resilience. The author's relentless pacing hooks readers from page one through its nail-biting conclusion. Five stars!

    I read this book intermittently, but each time I picked it up, it was like I had never left off reading. The story was intriguing and I believe I liked the characters, even better. I will be reading more “Maddie” books!
