Scarlet Shadows
Scarlet Jameson is a taekwondo champion with a badly injured leg, a short fuse, and absolutely no intention of becoming an amateur detective.
Then her friend Michelle is attacked by three masked strangers.
Before her failing sight ended Michelle's career as a pediatrician, Emily had been her first patient. Years later, she became her last. When a desperately needed transplant fell through, Emily died—leaving behind a tragedy Michelle thought she'd buried.
Apparently, someone else is determined to keep the past buried too.
Scarlet, Michelle, and their loyal but unpredictable friend Bean start asking questions. They should have left the past alone. Because the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the answers become—and someone is willing to make sure they never reach the truth.
Fast, dark, and full of wry, quick-witted banter, Scarlet Shadows is a modern Las Vegas crime mystery about buried secrets, the people who'll kill to keep them, and three friends who don't know when to walk away. Perfect for fans of Veronica Mars and Finlay Donovan.

I RECEIVED A DRC FROM THE PUBLISHER VIA NETGALLEY. THANK YOU.
My Review: Plots centering the theft of a laptop containing the secrets that no one could possibly not desiire enough to kill for are common as pig tracks. Medical maguffins are very en vogue because, y'all, we live in a time of miracles and should all be bathed in the astonishing accomplishments of scientists, researchers, and technologists.
Ahem.
None of that's in this book, but I'm taking every opportunity I can find or create to remind anyone who sees my words that this is true.
Scarlet, mouthy sarcastic kid she is, annoyed me. So did Bean. Truthfully anyone their age is going to rub me the wrong way. But add in Scarlet's tae kwan do codified violence and I am already late for the door. Michelle's career as a pediatrician is ending, cruelly and uncomfortably for old-man me, as her sight fails. *deep prolonged shudders of horror* Being an actual doctor, therefore, at the youngest, in her later thirties, I could not understand her undifferentiated interests and communication of them from youthful Scarlet's or Bean's. If she'd been sleeping with one or both of them I could see it....
Speaking of seeing things, Jean-Claude Van Damme? While he had an epically muscular butt back in the day, he's my age and his fighting days (supported by the said epically muscular butt) are behind (!) him, so why? Never explained that I noticed.
Snappy wit is hard to pull off. Here it felt more like kids bantering. It was not The Thin Man or Slaughterhouse-Five. If I reach for a comparison to my era of youth-wit writers, I'd say its closest analogue was In Watermelon Sugar by largely and justly forgotten chronicler of the nonce Richard Brautigan.
Astute and observant as I know all my readers are, y'all will have noticed there are three and a half stars up there. The reason is...I like violent, goofy Scarlet. She's bright, she's curious, she's got a definite moral compass; she believes in taking action against injustice; she does not have any time for fools. My kinda sleuth. Her scoobygroup is probably going to change over time...what're you gonna do with Michelle after this? Or Bean?...but they'll always be quirky and scrupulous which...that's hard to do this well.
Great, no; fun, yes. A pleasantly amusing layover download.

The Scarlet Mysteries book #1
In a few words:
This is the story of Scarlet Jameson a taekwondo champion with a badly injured leg, a short fuse and far from becoming an amateur detective. But when her friend Michelle, a former pediatrician with failing sight, was attacked by three masked strangers all changed….
My views on this story:
This story is said to be a fast, dark, full of wry, wick-witted banter but I failed to be moved. I really wanted to love this book it sounded quite interesting but the whole experience was hard to take. Th style was far from my taste; I would even say a rambling mess with dull players who are obsessed with long grueling detailed fights (kicks and punching) I was seeing Jean-Claude Van Damme every where and got tired of this very fast. A lot goes on but all went one ear and out the next as nothing made sense. I fast lost interest, this story dragged and dragged but I finally made it to the end…ouf what a joy….
I will leave my thoughts here, I said enough. I presume you know this book wasn’t for me but it may tickle your fancy so judge for yourself.
My thanks to Book Whisperer for the opportunity to read this book

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Thank you to NetGalley and book whisperer for the chance to read an eARC of this book. I really wanted to like this book, it sounded very interesting from the description. But the writing style was not for me. The characters were very childish. I can kind of see it from most of them - they are young. But Michelle was a lot older (told Scarlett she was half Michelle’s age) but still acted and spoke like a child. Also there was a lot of humor that would appeal to ten year old boys. I would have been ok with it had it been Bean only (for his character) but it was not just him. The mystery was not very compelling and the ending was just meh. This is the start of a new series and I have no interest in finishing.
Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
When Michelle, a former doctor blinded by lupus, is mugged, her friends, Scarlet and Bean, seek justice. They uncover the identities of the muggers and learn about a terrible conspiracy.
This book is a shambling mess with characters who consist largely of "quirky" shticks. Michelle, who prides herself on being more than a woman with a handicap, can't go more than a few minutes without saying "I am blind" either as part of a joke or a way to manipulate strangers. Scarlet, a TaekwonDo teacher who refuses to get the appropriate treatment for a serious knee injury, obsesses over the constant pain and annoyance of said injury. She also can't seem to get through a day without at least one long, grueling, but almost lovingly detailed fight. (Reading this book was like watching a series of Bruce Lee movies and I HATED Bruce Lee movies!) Bean, a Mexican-American, chews plastic straws ALL THE TIME. He chews them, watches his own saliva drip from the straws onto every surface he encounters, and talks about chewing them.
The lack of logic in this book is mind-boggling. Even though Michelle's lupus was severe enough to destroy her vision, she somehow remains otherwise strong, healthy, and beautiful. Although she uses a cane to help navigate without sight, she is agile enough to fight off two out of three muggers. (I found myself wondering how Michelle had enough time and energy to pursue her new career as a social worker and intereact with her friends despite a debilitating chronic illness that never seems to require medication or other treatment.) Bean goes on and on about his problems with math but is, apparently, a computer genius. All three characters (as well as Billy, another student with a secret agenda) keep referring to an unnamed man who changed their lives and brought them together. The reader never learns who this man is, even though his modifications to Michelle's laptop are of critical importance to the plot. The final twist in the story (which I will not describe to avoid "spoiling" the surprise for other readers) is detailed in a truly bizarre, almost jokey exposition involving a tv weatherman.
Another severe problem with this book is that the characters (especially Bean and Billy) are all in their late twenties or early thirties but they act and talk like teenagers using constant pop culture references that I had to keep looking up. I assume this was meant to be "fun" but I found it annoying. They also spend most of the book insulting, threatening, and apologizing repeatedly to each other.
I had to force myself to finish this book for the dubious pleasure of writing about how much I disliked it. Apparently it is intended to be the first in a series which I will definitely NOT read. The publisher's description of Scarlet Shadows as ";perfect for fans of Veronica Mars" is inaccurate.
I would like to thank Netgalley and Czykmate Productions for granting me access to a free advance reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Review of advance copy
What was described as "fast, dark, wry" opened as a detailed, emotionally dense character study. This deliberate choice on the part of Ms. Szewczyk, before the mystery kicks in, is not a misstep. The sensory details are slow and controlled, the descriptions are not decorative, and her metaphors work. Every planted seed pays off later, and the reader's patience is rewarded.
The plotting feels tight because the planted clues, red herrings, and character motives aren't isolated devices; they eventually converge. The reveals feel earned rather than retrofitted. There are hardly any cheap twists — even details that seem throwaway matter. Watch how seemingly incidental details journey from symptom to cause to meaning. The ensemble cast — Scarlet, Michelle, Bean, Billy — each has distinct voices. Their tonal contrasts are deliberate. Their shifting trust and suspicion of each other doesn't feel like manufactured drama. Nearly everyone in this circle happens to have martial arts training. This smooths over any individual fight scene but reads as a convenient coincidence when the whole cast is this capable.
In the initial pages, the cast grows quickly. The connections between characters get layered faster. This can be difficult for readers who prefer a lighter, more passive read. Some may even lose track of who's tied to whom, especially in the first third. This book rewards close attention. One more thing, Michelle's blindness carries real narrative weight — she has to work by ear, which genuinely slows her investigation. Her physical injuries are acknowledged (others notice and comment on them after both attacks). However, her hospitalization or her complicated recovery due to Lupus is not shown.
Is your interest in mysteries not limited to puzzle-solving? Do you enjoy character-driven mysteries with a genuine emotional core? Then this book is tailor-made for you. Adjust your expectations if you want pure breezy banter. Ms. Szewczyk brings you a mystery that actually earns its reveals.

Scarlet Shadows by Jo Szewczyk is the first thrilling read in the Scarlet Mysteries series. Inside this crime fiction read, there are three main characters. The first one is Scarlet a taekwondo champion with a leg injury who jumps into helping her friend,Michelle, when she was attacked. That is the start that sends Scarlet into taking justice into her own hands kind of way. She tracks and digs into the baad guys. That is also where things start getting darker and messier than the start. Michelle has a lot going on her own plate just like Scarlet. Bad eyesight in the medical profession doesn't make anything easy. Then, Michelle is attacked and she calls in for help from her friends. Bean is the third character in this trio of friends group. He is loyal to his friends and the youngest. He does excellent with computers but in general he was like the teen in the movie, Napoleon Dynamite. Actually, this whole book the Napoleon Dynamite movie theme and vibes. The cast of characters may not be the best of the best but they were brought together for reasons and it works for them. Jo Szewczyk took a bunch of misfits and grouped them together in this humorous, crime fighting, dark drama read. If you loved Napoleon Dynamite this book is definitely in that alley!

Serious issues in this adult crime thriller, particularly those dealing with organ transplant donations to sick children, and a person dealing with blindness, pleased me. In my opinion, it put substance into the narrative.
There was some humor and a great deal of kicking, punching and attacking in line with Taekwondo. People who know this martial art should be able to relate well, I'm assuming.
However, I felt the story direction swung like an out-of-control pendulum and often I could not connect the characters, nor their actions. I found it confusing rather than sparking my curiosity regarding the mystery.
The book is tagged as an "adult crime thriller" but wonder if it would appeal more to high school students. If this were the case, then more of the to-in and fro-ing action may have been better understood as being relating to that niche of audience.

Scarlet Shadows by Jo Szewczyk was an enjoyable mystery with some really good characters. I especially liked Scarlet and her personality, and I thought Michelle was a strong and interesting character. I really appreciated seeing a blind woman portrayed as capable and determined rather than defined by her disability.
The mystery itself was interesting, but unfortunately the story seemed to drag in places and I found myself wishing the pace would pick up. Overall, there were things I really enjoyed about the book and the characters, but the pacing kept it from being a higher-rated read for me.
Thank you to NetGalley, The Book Whisperer, and Jo Szewczyk for the opportunity to read an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
An action-driven mystery told mostly through dialogue, Jo Szewczyk's SCARLET SHADOWS Book 1 is a fun read. Even if you don't directly identify with the youth and lifestyle of the characters, they're each crafted in a unique way so that they're easy to follow and recognize even if you have to put the book down and resume your regular old mundane life for a few hours.
Szewczyk's story begins with a medically sensitive laptop being stolen during a brutal attack on a blinded medical practitioner. What unfolds from there is a deepening mystery about who was involved, why the laptop was stolen, and who benefits from preventing its secrets from being revealed to the world.
I enjoyed this story and look forward to the next installment.

A fast-paced and entertaining mystery that kept me turning the pages. I really enjoyed the characters, and the twists, Scarlet is a strong, determined character, and the story has plenty of secrets, danger and suspense to keep you guessing.

Courtesy of The Book Whisperer and Netgalley, I received the ARC of Scarlet Shadows by Jo Szewczyk. This contemporary Las Vegas based crime mystery is fast paced and dialogue driven. With a focus on Scarlet, a taekwondo expert, and Michelle, a blind former pediatrician specializing in organ transplants, and their circle of friends and acquaintances, a shocking medical conspiracy is revealed and solved.
Review of advance copy
A good storyline with likeable characters. I liked the mix of a taekwondo champion, a pediatrician who is going blind, but far from vulnerable and loyal friends. There is humour, plenty of action and an unorthodox discovery. A good start to a promising series. I received an ARC from Book Whisperer/Netgalley and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Didn’t work for me on so many levels. The characters were two-dimensional and stereotypical. The plot felt contrived, and it never really went anywhere. I received an advance copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher and voluntarily provided an honest review.
October 11, 2026
Unfortunately, I read the whole book, so it is readable. But the writing style is naive and messy, and both the plot and the action are close to nonsense.
Review of advance copy received from Publisher
Great start on a new mystery series, The Scarlet Mystery Series, featuring Scarlet Jameson, a taekwondo champion, who takes on helping a blind friend discover who stole her computer only to uncover a black market organ donor scheme in Book 1.
This was a fast paced goodread. Scarlet is a tough cookie with valuable sidekicks Bean and Michelle. I didn’t make the “real” connection to the prologue scene until later - giving a though five for that - but it was a perfect way to round out the story and make sense out of the stolen computer.
This is perfect for mystery readers who enjoy a strong female detective with an equally good supporting cast. Looking forward to book 2 coming next year.
I’d like to thank NetGalley and Book Whisper for allowing me access to this ARC.
