Jolene - a review by Rosemary Kenny.
An excellent addition to the Pam of Babylon series by Queen of Romantic Suspense, Suzanne Jenkins, Jolene tells of Detective Jolene Lewis' relationships with many of the residents of Sea View, which are complicated, yet rivetingly real, as she takes on a murder case that gets close to danger for those involved.
A fight for justice, romantic decisions, Christmas celebrations, family living situations eventually resolved, plus personal realisations and changes to her future - Jolene faces all these and more, making this book unputdownable...get it right now!

I would give this book 10 stars if I could
One of the best in the series of Pam of Babylon. I was hesitant when another offspring of Jack Smith was introduced. I did not want to like Jolene. However a quarter through the book; I liked her. Half way through the book; I loved her. She may be my favorite character of the series. Please Ms. Jenkins keep her loveable!
