About this eBook

Even assassins need a vacation…

When Diamond and her equally deadly husband head to Dahab, jewel of the Red Sea, all they want is a relaxing fortnight on the beach.

But the bodies soon start stacking up, and for once, it’s not their fault. Together with local cop Khaled, they’re soon sucked into the case, but there are too many suspects and not enough clues. Then there’s teenager Zena, their self-appointed sidekick who just can’t keep her nose out of other people’s business. Will the team be able to unravel the mystery before the killer gets personal?

Stolen Hearts is a standalone thriller novel featuring characters from the Blackwood Security series.

Ratings and reviews

I have read every book Elisa Noble has published - and plan to continue! I was given access to the book yesterday about mid-day and finished it by the time I went to bed. My husband is rolling his eyes... This book centers almost entirely on Diamond and Black, which was nice to see. Other team members are mentioned, but not to the degree that they have been tied into books in the past. Therefore, this book is stand-alone and I suspect that new fans might read this book first and then get turned on to the rest of the library of Elise Noble books. As a scuba diver, it was fun to find that part of the story included some diving. As usual, Elise writes well-developed characters so one can never be sure who is or isn't involved in the crimes. I am also always impressed with the amount of detail around various subject matters, which tells me that she does her research. I particularly enjoyed getting glimpses of the depth of the connection between Diamond and Black - both characters admitting some of their vulnerabilities in the otherwise harsh reality of their jobs. Elise writes with humor and wit - making the main characters both likable and exciting. And last, but certainly not least - if you like strong female characters, you will love Diamond in any of the books.

If any fictional couple were made for a thriller it is Emmy and Black. And if there is ever a author born to write thriller its Elise Noble. Put the two together and you have Stolen Hearts. A book that has everything, a couple in tune with each other, a murderer to catch before any more victims die. Plus a rabbit, dog and teenager. Another can't-put-down book, written to be read several times.

As a huge fan of the Blackwood Security series I was over the moon to read Emmy and Black's latest adventure! They work hard, they play hard and their plans to have a "vacation" are derailed by a mysterious dead body. Imaginative plot that twists and turns, adventure that transported me to the middle of the action and beloved characters that I got to know better all equal another hit! Stolen Hearts kept me on the edge of my seat and reading until the wee hours of the morning.
