TJ has crammed a lot of life into her years. Once a cop, now a professional writer, she uses her first hand experience of working the city streets of Sydney to write all things crime in both the news and in her fiction novels. TJ’s head has been buried in crime since studying criminology at university over a decade ago, and she just can’t seem to shake her fascination with the macabre. By day, TJ reports on southwestern Sydney's crime for News Corp, and by night she re-lives the action-packed life she may have once had through her strong fictional characters and sexy stories of mystery and intrigue. In 2015 TJ won the Readers Choice Award for best romantic suspense at Readers and Writer’s Down Under for her novel, Death’s Shadow and went on to win the converted Scarlet Stiletto Award for the Sister’s In Crime Association. Her debut books, Buying Thyme and Finding Thyme were acquired by Harlequin Mira and published in 2015 and 2016.
A well-crafted novel written by former Australian police officer T.J. Hamilton. Finding Thyme is the gripping conclusion to Buying Thyme.
I'm not sure how I came across this two book series (perhaps on a blog, not sure) but I'm so glad I did. Intriguing, many twists and turns, it kept me on the edge of my seat from the first page of the first book 'Buying Thyme' until the last page of the final book 'Finding Thyme. I'm a little sad that this story is now over, would've loved for this to have been an on-going series as I enjoyed Miranda/Mia's character - flawed, strong and feminine. Also her friend Charlie was a hoot, some of his comments had me laughing out loud freakishly. And I fell a little bit in love with Nick, a sweet, darling of a hero.
I've never read anything like it before, readers are given a glimpse into the world of prostitution in Buying Thyme and Sydney's underworld in Finding Thyme. I was a little shocked at the explicit sex scenes (I'm sure they will leave me blushing for some time) but in this type of storyline it's to be expected, after all the central character Miranda was a high-class escort.
A fascinating and unique novel. I would highly recommend this to everyone and anyone.
No wonder this book won a scarlet stiletto award. It was just unbelievable. It had me going all night with the twists and turns. It had everything in it that a book should have. TJ Hamilton you are a fantastic author.
This is an amazing ending to an amazing series TJ managed to keep me on the edge of my seat, bring me to tears; twice and make me happy all at the same time. There were twists and turns that I didn't see coming and they only made the story that much better I am now addicted to the writings of TJ Hamilton
I didn't want this book to end, it had so many twists and turns and it kept you guessing throughout the book. Loved this book and wish it would turn into a movie or to series it's that good. Thanks for this wonderful read TJ.
