The Naturals: The Naturals

Cold cases get hot in this unputdownable mystery from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, no. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games series. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

Cassie Hobbes is exceptionally gifted at reading people. By piecing together the tiniest details, she can expertly deduce who you are and what you really want. However, this remarkable skill is one she has never fully utilised until the FBI approaches her with a unique proposition. They have started a classified programme that harnesses the talents of exceptional teenagers to solve notorious cold cases, and Cassie’s abilities make her a prime candidate.

Intrigued by the challenge and the opportunity to put her skills to the test, Cassie agrees to join the programme. But she soon finds out that there's far more at stake than merely solving a few unsolved crimes. Sent to live with other talented teens—each with their own extraordinary abilities—Cassie quickly realizes that no one in The Naturals programme is quite what they seem.

As Cassie navigates this complex new world, a chilling new killer emerges, putting everyone at risk. With danger lurking at every turn, she and her fellow Naturals are thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse. They must use all their wits and gifts to stay ahead of the killer and survive.

Jennifer Lynn Barnes masterfully combines suspense, drama, and a touch of romance in The Naturals. This gripping tale is not just about solving puzzles—it’s about questioning everyone and everything, including the very nature of one's own identity. Will Cassie and her newfound companions manage to crack the case and outsmart a cunning adversary?

Born smart. Born tough. Born FBI.
