Great Story to Keep You on Your Toes !! . . .

Katey, Patrick and Roger are brought together to prove Roger Spelling had nothing to do with the horrible murder of his neighbor. Even the pup Leroy lends a paw to the investigation. It is obvious that someone is trying to frame Roger for a crime he didn’t commit. Katey, a retired teacher who owns the local coffee shop, is a strong, intelligent woman with an effective way of looking at details that makes her an excellent partner for Pine Falls’ Chief of Police Patrick O’Neil. Patrick is also well-suited to his job and genuinely cares about the people of his town.

Now going after the formidable “Clock Killer”, not your normal low-life criminal, their skills must be sharp as the tension increases the closer they get. Twists and turns keep the reader guessing. Can they find the killer before he goes after Roger again or someone else?

The author expertly puts the reader right into the story, ramping up nerves and emotions with the opening fight with a big cop-hating brute who is about to pulverize Roger… until Patrick shows him the error of his ways. And the story line doesn’t stop there as it continues in the dangerous pursuit of the killer. Hang on as you follow the clues! This is a wild ride from start to finish.

Katey Frost is a former school teacher who had left teaching when she could no longer deal emotionally with the violence, murder and apathy of her inner city students. A very strong, intelligent woman and a formidable ally who now calls Pine Falls home. Patrick O’Neil is the Police Chief in Pine Falls. Also very intelligent and dedicated to making the town a safer place to live. Both are willing to go the extra mile if a friend is in need. That is what brings them face to face with the Clock Killer. From the very beginning, you are drawn into a tense situation which only increases in intensity as they attempt to navigate their way through. Riddled with many twists and turns and people who are not as they appear, it’s impossible to put this book down! Sophie Michaels has created a masterpiece with this one! You won’t regret reading it! I can’t wait for the next one to come out!

This is a fantastic series and this latest book, Entrap 101 does not disappoint. The story grips you from the very beginning and pulls you along with all its twists, turns and red herring. Chief Patrick asks Katie to come with her to NY to help clear one of his old police friends, Roger, from a crime he didn't commit. Patrick has Roger released to him as a favor. We see that a major criminal known as the Clock Killer is back and the twisted mind of this killer brings Patrick, Katie and Roger into his diabolical plan. Will they be able to solve the clues the killer keeps throwing at them? Will they be able to catch the Clock Killer before he kills more or even gets Katie, Roger or Patrick? This is a fast paced page turning, edge of your seat read that you just can't put down until the surprise and a little sad ending. I received an ARC of this book but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.

ENTRAP 101: A gripping small town whodunit amateur sleuth mystery full of twists - Katey Frost cozy crime mystery series Book 4 (A Katey Frost Cozy Mystery Series), my fourth read from author Sophie Michaels. Not just your typical cozy mystery with an ameteur sleuth, Michaels develops Katie Frost as a former Michigan teacher whose classroom skills transfer well to the situations she finds herself in. In this book the Chief of Police needs Katey with her keen observation skills to help him solve a string of similar murders the media has called the “Clock Killer Murders”."I received a Kindle copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." SILENCE 101 Katey Frost cozy crime mystery series Book #5 is high on my TBR list. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

I really liked this book the best of the series! I truly don’t want the series to end. I really liked the new and returning characters! The story was like a wild roller coaster ride. Complete with the thrills and laughs as few as there r! Pine Falls had never seen so much action in all it’s history before retired Detroit school teacher Katie came to town! I love the red herrings and watching all the twists and turns and seeing how it effected every character! I absolutely love Granny Pie! I highly recommend this book and this author.

[Marietta]

This book was even more of a challenage to figure out who murderer was as their were so many suspects with so many different agents. I love how Katey Frost and Patrick work so well together and how they will help any of their friends no matter what happens. The Author is doing a good job keeping everyone on their toes trying to figure out what will happen next. I would recommend this series who enjoys a very well written cozy mystery.

[Fred Masek]

This was a page turner with one thing after another happening. There were too many suspects and agendas for me to solve the case before Katey. The descriptions of the characters was great – especially the description of Carl. There were also plenty of twists and turns and the final pages suggested two possible upcoming books. This was a good story that I enjoyed and recommend.

My first thought after reading Entrap 101 was that I’d like to see the workings of Sophie Michaels mind, but then I thought that might be too scary. Maybe just to see her story board and thought process would be scary enough. I have read all the books in this series and this might be the best one yet. It has many of the same characters, a twisted, convoluted plot and more surprises and twists than you can imagine. And now Katie and Patrick can return to their quiet life in Pine Falls, or can they? I can’t wait for the next book.

[Laura]

This is an entertaining, captivating read. The characters are interesting, captivating and relatable. I enjoyed Katey, Patrick, Roger and Carl and what they roles that each played in the story. My attention was captured from the start and held until the very end – I wanted to see how the story was going to end. I found the story enthralling, with many twists and turns.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

[Lori]

I have not read the first two books in this series but you can bet I'm going back and read both of them! I really like the way the characters interact with each other and the twists of the storylines. If the other books are as good as this one, then this is my new favorite series! I believe Sophie Michaels has a definite winner on her hands with this series!.

This was a brilliant book about one brilliant superstar trying to outsmart another brilliant, but flawed person. The action gets hot and the pages practically turn themselves because you just can’t put this one down. The Katey Frost character is captivating and her band of friends create sheer entertainment from start to finish. One after another, after another, this is wow, wow, and more wow.

[Lizz Taylor]

This light thriller has a lot of plot and some nail biting scenes. Katey is amazing and the overall plot and motives presented are so twisted that I could not put the book down. There is a religious aspect to this book which many will love and it may bother others but I thought it was appropriate for the overall plot. I am anxious to read the next book in the series.

[Cheryl Hollingsworth]

Sophie Michaels did it again! Another great read with wonderful characters! This book also contained a wonderful explanation of the Gospel story & Redemption. I loved the way everything was woven together! And, the ending of the story was definitely unexpected - as was the cliff-hanger ending!!

[Alica Propst]

This was my favorite of the series so far.
I enjoyed the addition of the puppy, Leroy and the transition of Carl from a street thug into a good guy.

[Linda Whitenight]

The Clock Killer and attempts to capture or kill him or them. At times the story seem to repeat and drag a bit for me, I found my attention waning at times.

[Jane litherland]

Katey Frost , a retired schoolteacher moved to Pine Falls for a quiet life in her new coffee shop, since she was so good at helping solve the murder in the coffee shop , her now close friend Chief of Police Patrick O’ Neil needs her keen observation skills once more to aid in solving similar murders the media have dubbed Clock Killer Murders.
Can the two of them and Leroy the dog solve the mystery before the clock runs out and the killer strikes once more. Great cosy mystery series , well devised , the town is quirky , amateur sleuth with sidekick and love interest in the local constabulary, great characters and super descriptors . A feel-good compelling read
