Worth the Wait!
I enjoyed this long awaited book 8 of the Rebecca Mayfield Mystery and couldn’t understand why her Lt put her on desk duty after six weeks of administrative leave when it appeared the danger had past and his reluctance to listen when she pointed out similarities in cases. Can’t wait until book 9 is released when Rebecca Ritchie are back together as a couple, they are so good together. Hope we don’t have to wait too long!

Eight o'clock Split!
This has to be one of my mist fave series :) I feel like all the characters in this series all interact really well together , when a character is having strong feelings you can really feel the emotions of the characters by how the Author writes . The strong emotions that Rebecca feels near the end if the book have me craving for book #9 to hurry and be published, I don't think I can wait long to see what happens next !

Hurry Nine O'Clock!
I love this series and look forward to the next one. A split this big deserves two books, even though I prefer endings. Rebecca's character expressed what I'd been feeling about her from the opening pages so she's back on my good side. Lol. The story twists so many times I was questioning everyone!

Wow I love this series
I wasn't sure what to expect but I am so glad I took the chance. I have read 8 of the Richie and Rebecca books and this hasn't even touched the surface with these complicated plots and Rich characters. This mystery series is one of the best I have ever read. Please...bring on 9 O'clock soon!
