Disapointed

The first two book’s were interesting . The third not so much. Too many investigations at once. I found military response to the incidents unbelievable. Yes there are some cover ups but a Sgt Major does not have the power to change the autopsy results to suit him. His ability to have soldiers under his command to harass the victim not plausible.
The author seems to have a bias for the military. Won’t be reading any more of her books

Not on the "must read" list.

Within the context of the stories, the primary characters are not very believable, and the plot line outcomes don't align with what we see in actual news. But the prose was very readable and the content was entertaining. I'm not likely to read any more from this author, I prefer my crime fiction darker and grittier.

Cold case team

A very thin line between what's right! Frustrating how power is abused. But eventually the good people won in the end. A great team effort 👌 on the the next one now....I'm hooked🤣

Fast Paced Mystery

Likable characters in a strong, intertwined plot that moves quickly. Though not a suspenseful thriller, you’ll keep turning the pages to see where the story goes!!

Enjoyable Series

A no-holds-barred kick-ass female private detective joins forces with an equally out-for-justice police detective. You know those cases will be solved to readers’ satisfaction.

Justice for Cold Cases

These books are about a PI and a detective who investigate cold cases. The characters were likeable and the criminals were creeps. There were some unnecessary details and repetition that caused the loss of one star.

not for me

This is the second box set in a row that I’ve not enjoyed. Maybe I’m getting too picky, but that’s only my opinion you might enjoy them
