I love these books. So easy to read. Likable characters and the plots are interesting and keep me reading. Yes they are short and you can easily finish a book in a day if you have the time, but I like that - it’s refreshing. I am about to start Book 4 and I have Book 5 waiting to start immediately afterwards. That’s how enjoyable I am finding them. Sometimes you need something uncomplicated yet interesting to read and for me, these books are just that. I hope Suzy continues writing in this series.

The series is improving. Like a cheese, the writing still needs to mature a lot more, but there is now a better basis from which this could happen. The 'police' side of matters remains very weak though. The books are a bit like Mills and Boon versions of mysteries. But, I do feel the author is on the up.

Charlotte Lockwood feels a sense of betrayal after her best friend Michelle ran off with her husband Idris. So when Michelle comes to her for help after someone kidnaps Idris, she is tempted to refuse. But she and Angus Darrow do take up the case and see it through to a successful conclusion, putting themselves in danger in the process. This is an engaging, fast-moving thriller.

For pure enjoyment 5*.
This series gets better as the characters develo. This story deals with the kidnap of Charlotte's former husband. Lots of humour involving exchanges are between Charlotte and Michelle, new wife and Charlotte's ex best friend.

Really enjoyed this book. More complicated plot entwining the characters lives together. Enjoying their personalities as they learn to exist

[Mary Johnson]

My enjoyment of this series increases with every book. A decent tale and the lingering (but not too long) will they/ won’t they is engaging.

I am enjoying this private investigator series. This is the fourth what I’ve read about Agnes and iCharlotte, who are solving cases.

The writing is very good and I’m really enjoying them

Fun Read!

Not the most unusual or funny, but this series is well written and the characters are likeable and engaging. I hope they get to kiss in the next installment!
