About the author
Celina Grace
62 books455 followersI’ve been trying to get published as a writer since…. um… er…um…see, it was that long ago I can’t remember. A long time. I make it fifteen years and counting….
I’ve also been writing for as long as I can really remember. I wrote my first story, The Blue Ruby, when I was about seven (if I can find that deathless prose scribbled in an exercise book somewhere, I might upload it here for a bit of light relief). Throughout college and university, I experimented with screenplays and scripts (I was studying Film and English at the time at the University of East Anglia), as well as other more short stories. In my twenties, I started my first novel, finished it, then my second, then my third. In my thirties, I was slightly side-tracked by the birth of my son but, leaving aside that trifling distraction, managed to write my fourth..
I didn’t bother trying to get the first novel published as I saw it as more of a practise run at this business of being an author. With the second, I entered the 2004 Lit Idol competition and got to third place. That was my ticket to publication, I thought, surely? Hah! Just the first in a long line of disappointments, of which every writer must be familiar… hopes built up to then be smacked down again. I had an agent approach me after the competition and on their encouragement, I finished, edited and polished the manuscript, sent it off to them with happy hopes – to be told months later that they didn’t think it was quite right for them..
Gutted, but enthusiasm relatively undimmed, I started on a new novel, inspired in part by the dramatic events of 2005 – the London bombings. I also wrote a short story at the same time on the same subject – it was on my mind a lot that summer (unsurprisingly. Freedom Fighter is the story – available on Amazon as part of The Mourning After short story collection). This novel The House on Fever Street (written under my maiden name Celina Alcock) was shortlisted for the 2006 Crime Writers’ Association Debut Dagger Award. Aha, I thought, a fairly prestigious and industry recognised award. This will get me published. Did it? Did it buggery!.
The House on Fever Street was also longlisted in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award of that year, which garnered me some nice reviews and a much needed ego boost but didn’t advance my career as a published author much further..
So what next for our doughty heroine? She ups and writes her fourth novel, gains an agent and thinks now, now I have finally made it as a published author! And she waits. And waits. And waits some more. And then waits a bit more. And a bit more. Finally, for variety, she waits a bit more..
So, after two years of waiting, reading about self-publishing on Amazon and other platforms, I believe a phrase that ends in ‘…for a game of soldiers’ passed my lips and I decide to publish myself. So I did. And here I am on Amazon, making sales. No publisher. No agent. Just me..
And that makes me VERY happy.

When the story is opened up we come across the diary of the murderer. We, of course, don’t know who the murderer is.
Kate Redman and Mark Olbeck are on the case and they are eager to solve it, but this murderer is elusive and just keeps on killing.
This brings Kate many memories and her doubts come in to play.
Suspects are not available as they need to be in the beginning of the story, but by the ending they are lining up.
But who did it? Who’s the murderer? Who is the killer? Will Kate put her life in danger to find out?
Hang around for the closing.

Once again, it's a series that starts with a strong female character who turns into a simpering fool yearning for her superior officer. I want mystery/intrigue, not ROMANCE.

Follow DS Kate Redman in the 3rd mystery in this series set around a fictional small town in the West Country. A body is found and it is the job of Kate and the other police officers to catch the killer.
I am enjoying reading this series and I find it a regular British police procedural. The main character is DS Kate Redman and you get her day job plus extras about her family and social life in each novel. I find this format of storytelling very comfortable as a reader. By mixing Kate’s work and private life the reader takes things in context as they are in real life.
Imago is different to the preceding 2 novels in this series. There are occasional chapters put in at random throughout this story that are simply the killer’s diary. This puts the reader in the position of knowing far more than the police do as their investigation progresses. Because you read both sides to this crime, the reader can appreciate just what a difficult job it can be for the police to catch a killer with little evidence surrounding the body.
I loved all the twists and turns as this story unfolded. It was nice that there was some romance thrown in the direction of Kate this time. I loved that “wait, I’ll get my coat” moment that really made me smile. Most women would react that way!
I like how Celina’s writing has remained consistent in quality and style in this series. Imago is another GOOD 4 star read. Having read 3 of Celina’s novels, I know what a sure fire hit her books are, in the same way that I know Tesco Multiseed Batch gives me lovely toast on a morning.

Suspenceful police procedural
This is the third or fourth Kate Redmond mystery that I have read. Celina Grace has a talent for gripping one's attention.
One anomaly has me puzzled: the author has an idiosyncratic misuse of the past tense. I've found this in all books so far read. Usually this the use of the simple past tense, e.g. "sat" after the word "was," where one would expect the past participle "sitting," instead-was sitting, not was sat. Never have I heard anyone else use this particular error, but it is consistent with this author, occurring at least a handful of times in this book. Distracting, puzzling, and interesting, if it is customary in an English dialect I have never heard. I'd like to know where this usage came from.
In spite of this and other proofreading errors, the tale is gripping. I'll no doubt find myself sitting late at night again, as I sit and read more of her work. Tonight I was sitting, reading this one till well after midnight!

An interesting book. I found difficult to follow but it was good. Good story that was a bit surprising. Came together fast. Enjoyable

This is a procedural set in England. Kate Redman is a Detective investigating the death of a young woman. In the course of her investigation other young women of a similar body type are also murdered in the same manner. The novel also delves into a bit of Kate’s personal life while following her investigations. There were enough twists to keep most readers of the genre interested and Kate’s development was well done. All in all a very good read. Thanks to the Author and Publisher for an e-Galley for an honest review.

This was a decent book, but not a memorable book, meaning it kept my interest and moved along at a nice pace, but now that it's a day removed in my memory, it's pretty much faded. Nothing outstanding remains other than a rather vague idea of plot, which i'm sure will completely fade in another day or two. The plot revolved around a detective, Kate, who is simultaneously trying to solve a serial killing and trying to decide what to do about having the hots for her boss. All is resolved eventually while still leaving a couple question marks for sequels.

Could have been a great read but..
I really wanted to enjoy this book but I just couldn't finish it due to the foul language. I just don't like, no make that I hate all the profanity in my entertainment. It's bad enough to have to deal with it in real life but prefer to avoid it in my reading for enjoyment.

Kate
I cannot see Kate as a detective. She is much too emotional. Kate did not solve the murder, She merely fell into it.

I have been eagerly awaiting the third instalment in the Kate Redman series written by Celina Grace. Kate a policewoman with a difficult past is called to investigate the murder of a young prostitute found stabbed on wasteland outside a disused warehouse. Kate is determined to find the killer but with few clues left at the scene her and the team have to put in plenty of leg-work interviewing known associates.
Interestingly the book is punctuated with excerpts from the killer’s diary which gives us a fighting chance of working out which of the characters is the killer. On the down-side there appears to be a few candidates.
Celina Grace plots have proved to be interesting, well thought out with all the loose ends neatly tucked up by the end of the story and this one is no exception. The book moves at a pace, and although this is a fairly short book I didn’t feel cheated.
As in the previous episodes there is plenty of interaction between Kate and her colleagues although I can’t help but think she may just have stored up a whole load of problems with one of them….

Another good story in this series although this one seemed to have a couple of baffling continuity mistakes where things were mentioned we were supposedly already having knowledge of........and we didn't !! So it became a bit confusing as I flicked back and needed to convince myself I'd not missed something. Once was knowing Claudia worked at Boots and heading off there-I was wondering why they picked Boots but there hadn't been any prior mention and then they were at one point heading off to interview a foster family we'd again heard nothing at all about. These cost it one star for me.
I did say "ouch" aloud on page 8 when she used spends when it should've been spend ! The odd words were dropped from sentences like or (or my) or a, would used when wouldn't was meant.
However, it was still another great tale in the series and I look forward to more of them.

I enjoyed this book and the suspense and twist at the end. I know this is part of a series but there were several aspects that were never explained or was described but not resolved. I suspect because they were covered more in previous books or 'completed' in upcoming books. This didn't happen once but several times which made the book uneven. The main character, Kate, was at times smart and capable then other times she acted like a cliched female incapable of taking care of herself or thinking clearly. I suspect some of the aspects that wasn't covered fully would explain this, but without them it makes Kate a character that is not easy to like or get behind. which in turn makes a new reader indifferent to read additional books in th series.

Overall an Enjoyable Mystery
Although overall a good action-packed, fast-paced mystery, the final scene describes Kate, the female cop, in an unrealistic scenario: being attacked by an old woman with a knife and trying to get away, where was her gun, and didn't she learn any defense and disarming skills at the police academy? That unrealistic scene discredited the story's association with reality. A good technical editor or police consultant could have corrected this disappointing scene.

Okay, I was starting to enjoy this series...until now. This book wasn't bad, it was just okay but the inconsistencies and spelling mistakes just got in the way of my enjoyment. I also didn't like the main character, Kate, as much as I used to. In this book, she spends more time mooning over her boss than any actual police work and it was not necessary in my opinion. The plot itself was a bit weak and when the killer was revealed, my first reaction was disbelief rather than surprise. I'll have to think about whether I am going to continue with this series.
September 16, 2017
My first Kate Redman read, and likely my only. Written as a mystery novel (more a novella, I would say) it seemed to lean more toward a romance novel in content. This caused the main character to come off as distracted and emotional. And not emotional in a way that could appear positive when the crime being solved is as disturbing as this. I actually found the writing to be entertaining, and the plot had real promise, but given the length of the book, there was just not enough content for depth. I ended up feeling like it was forced and overly cliche'd.
January 23, 2014
I enjoyed reading this book. It was fast paced and easy to read. This is the third book in the series, but the first one I have read. At times Kate was a little too wishy washy for me, especially regarding her feelings toward Anderton, her love interest/boss. The identity of the murderer was completely unexpected.
November 29, 2017
i liked it. I thought it was a little slow at times, but it kept you guessing. Written by a woman, with a woman as the hero and another woman as the serial killer, although not even suspected at the time. All of the victims were women. Commented that the master bedroom is a sexist term, which I thought was pretty funny. I will read other books by this author.

A good read
A well written book full of twists and turns. I especially liked the way it was written from both the lead characters view and the killers. The only flaw was why she didn't have her service revolver with her during the attack since she went to the two houses from the precinct. It should have been at least mentioned. Otherwise, a good read with a surprise ending.

Perfect mystery.
Kate Redman is very strong woman, she knows what she wants and needs. Like this character very much. Stabbing death of women in London, she is trying to find this serial killer. Ending was shocking, couldn't go to sleep without finding out who the killer was.

Imago, an interesting title....
I hadn't heard the word 'Imago' before, so I looked it up. Amongst a few meanings was included, 'an unconscious idealised mental image of someone especially a parent, which influences a persons behaviour. Then the meaning fitted the plot, which was very clever.
There are just enough characters in this book to remember who everyone is. Some books have so many, it gets confusing and it's easy to lose track of who is who.
Kate is on a slippery slope by sleeping with her boss, which apparently she has done before. Not a thing to keep quiet very easily I should imagine, especially in the police. One of the other people in her team appears to know about her first indiscretion, and picks her up on this and her promotion when they're all out one evening for a drink, albeit when they're on their own together. Sparks (or wine) fly.
The murders are of three young women who are all similar in looks, height and build, and this is where the title comes into it. After much deliberation, Kate and co get their 'man', but only after Kate gets injured in the process. For me personally the last two chapters are a little rushed, and although it all becomes clear in the end, I feel more could have been made of finding Kate and the murderer, the ensuing arrest, and the reasoning behind the murders.
I did however enjoy it, and will continue to read more in this series.

Having read two other books in this series (though not in the right order!) I knew I would enjoy meeting this hard-working, compassionate policewoman again. This time Kate Redman, her friend Detective Sergeant Mark Olbeck and her boss, Detective Chief Inspector Anderton have to solve the murder of a young prostitute, stabbed with a steak knife, and soon they begin to wonder if the crime has been committed by a serial killer.
As Mark settles down in domestic harmony with his partner, Kate begins to realise how lonely she is, but she tries to keep to herself the growing feelings she has for her boss. Meanwhile she is trying to build up her fitness to participate in a half marathon and at the same time, deal with the hostility of Jerry, an older police constable who resents her.
This book is filled with tension and thrilling episodes. We read the murderer’s diary, looking for clues and motive. The reason for the title of this novel is intriguing. The plot builds up to an exciting climax, as Kate thinks she has identified the killer and there is an exciting final twist to the story which will keep you on the edge of your seat.

This was book 3 in the Kate Redman series, and I'm pulling the plug. There are several more books in the series (a couple of which I have obtained free), but I'm done. These are quick reads, but they are just way too predictable and formulaic. And I've really gotten to loathe the main character's inner monologue. She is constantly talking in her head (like we all are), and I just don't think it adds anything to the book. If anything it detracts from the plot since we get hung up waiting for the character to finish a thought. It's like she blacks out for a minute, and we get stuck with her in that hole until she snaps herself out it. We can already guess her weaknesses and observe her vulnerabilities. We see her in action, and so we don't need the author to constantly clue us into to them by getting to "hear" the storms of emotions inside Kate. We get it...she's troubled and has a lot of baggage she carries with her every day. Her past is still haunting her, but this isn't a new perspective on our existence on this planet. This is reality. Deal with it.
