Anne Cleeland liked Sarah's review of Murder in Surety: "A good installment I liked this one. Very fast paced and interesting. I understand that Ms Cleeland has to give a quick catch up to people new to the series or maybe forgot about the main premise but that description is the only bad part. " Read more of this review »

Anne Cleeland answered Cynthia Hagist's question: I am late to the party and just discovered the Doyle and Acton series. I devoured 3 audio books in 5 days. I adore them. Thank you for the delightful entertainment. Will all of the books be available on audio? Audible has them up to Murder in Preemption. Hello Cynthia, and thank you so much! After the first three, all books are available in audio through the Amazon ACX program--if you look up any book on Amazon, you will see the audiobook listed, also. The first three in the series were published thr See Full Answer

Anne’s Quotes

“Frowning, she considered this. “Was there a portent in Macbeth?”
“Indeed, madam; there were several. Banquo’s ghost comes to mind.”
“Aye—Shakespeare liked his ghosts.”
“A useful literary device, madam. The ghosts were a form of foreshadowing.”
“If you say so,” Doyle replied doubtfully”

Thank you so much for befriended me. I read and loved every book written and published by you. They are all super amazing.

I'm forever thankful to all of my friends who recommended your books to me.

Right now I'm still trying to complete my review of Murder in Reproach💝💎🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It's tough to do justice to the installment that blindsided Lord Acton until the final chapter ‼️ I'm still stunned speechless thinking about The Cover💥& the Cliffhanger 🔥
