This is a good series but it’s a bit long. You have to read all 7 books, (I hope there is only 7) to find out the ending started in book 1. I thought about stopping at 6 but decided to read #7. In each book you have to re-read what happened in the previous books. A lot of wasted time.
I was hooked from the very beginning of the Ellie Kline books. Ellie is trying to prove she IS cut out to be a police officer, not some snooty rich girl. Each book is filled with suspense and takes the reader on a thrilling, nail-biting story. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes mysteries. I have read every one of them so far.
I am enjoying this series as far as it goes but it seems each book is left unfinished! Through 6 books and need to continue, at least at the end of a movie ends are tied up, this is like a tv show with a to be continued at the end of the season.
Ellie Kline Series: Books 4-6 (Ellie Kline Series Box Sets Book 2) by Mary Stone & Donna Berdel this is one heck of a series you will love. It’s the kind of story that will have you on edge till the end. I couldn’t stop reading.. I recommend this series you will love it ..
