BLACK DIAMOND DEATH:
Charlotte Halliwell has a secret.
But before revealing it to her sister Audrey, she's found dead. At first glance, it appears to be nothing more than a skiing accident, until the medical examiner discovers poison coursing through Charlotte's body.
Audrey hires Sloane Monroe, a sassy, headstrong private investigator. As Sloane gets close to solving the case, a second body is found. With the killer aware that Sloane will stop at nothing to find him, he tracks her every move. Will Sloane uncover the truth before he strikes again?
MURDER IN MIND:
Sloane Monroe has solved every case except one -the brutal murder of her sister Gabrielle.
Three years have passed without a trace of the killer until today, when a young woman's body is discovered in front of the local supermarket. Now Sloane is faced with the most difficult challenge of her life - finding the man who is a master at concealing his identity before he strikes again.
If you love exciting mysteries, Murder in Mind will keep you reading until the very last page.

Love this series
I loved reading about Sloane Monroe. She's the most REAL sleuth ever Sloane isnt perfect and she's got her quirks like the rest of us. Her loving but messed up self solves mysteries with her overloaded OCD brain. I'm buying more!!!

Good reading
I will start with my objections first: I get very annoyed when authors use a singular noun with a plural pronoun; and that is a frequent issue with Bradshaw's writing. I made many notes when I encountered them. The other thing I really hate is when an author insists on writing dialog with a speech anomaly shoved at me with every line I read. The supposed Wyoming accent was so irritating, I nearly stopped reading. If Case had to use the annoying "accent", why wasn't his daughter's speech similarly written? She, too, lived in Wyoming!
The stories are well told, and I find the lead character, Sloane, a fairly sympathetic character. That is why I kept reading, despite my objections to Bradshaw's style.

I truly loved this series! A real page turner as they say!
I can't say that I have a favorite out of the six...they were equally exciting and had me on the edge with every turn of a page! Sloane Monroe is an extraordinary character so well written she will be with me as one of my favorite heroines for a long time to come. Without her amazing ability to solve crimes as well as her fearless 'do what it takes' attitude...I don't believe the police would ever solve a case which makes her very unpopular with them.
ALSO: What an incredible deal to be able to purchase them in a box set!! I really prefer to purchase a series this way to be sure that I am reading them in the order they were written.

Six Great Stories
Exciting mysteries, well written and plenty of suspense. And NO GRATUITOUS GRAPHIC SEX !!! How I hate it when a writer inserts pornographic language in an otherwise entertaining novel.
And it was no wimpy, badly written Cozy Book. I like Sloan Monroe and moved by the depth of her personality. Feisty, outspoken, brave and driven. She had emotional issues like the rest of us. Commitment issues, personality issues, psychotropic medications like a lot of us. A girl after my own heart.

My new favorite female sleuthe
I love Cheryl Bradshaw's books. This is a very well written series with an intelligent and fearless PI. I couldn't put the books down and finished them in less than a week. I loved the characters development and the fact that there was minimal foul language and no explicit sex scenes.

Hope She Writes More
What a great book. I love authors that bring their stories to life. You can almost see the characters and feel like they are really alive. I hope she doesn’t end the series after 6 books.

An awesome series
I read all 6 books in 4 days. I could not put it down. Cheryl brings you into Sloane's life from the time her sister is murdered till she finds the man she is supposed to be with. I normally do not read mysteries but I am so glad I read this set.

Very entertaining
Not edge of seat novels but comfy ageless stories that make the characters feel real and the stories believable. You will never regret immersing yourself in this series.

Sloane Monroe, mystery, love, and happiness
I enjoyed reading these series of books. Love mystery, suspense and love all wrapped into one story. And enjoyed the parts where Sloane does things her way and not always the lawful way, but she gets the job done.

Loved every story from start to finish. Couldn't stop myself from jumping into the next story right away. The characters are so real and exciting. The flow from one page to the next wouldn't allow me to take breaks. Buying the next two books already.

What a great series!
I loved reading this series. Sloane Monroe is a PI who doesn't give up and always solves her cases - but not without loses. As you go through the series, Sloane struggles with her personal relationships and the loss of her sister who was murdered.
Can she get past her loses and ever find herself and love?

Sloane Monroe PI
Even though this book contains several novels or novellas, Sloane is always the leading character. She solves mysteries: murders, kidnappings; she is very good at what she does. Sometimes she gets burned out and has to take a break. The last book comes about at the end of one of those breaks. It's a good summer read. Hope you enjoy it!
