Praise for The Kate Redman Mysteries from Amazon and Goodreads reviewers:
“One of the best I have read this year. I read about a fourth of the book early in the day, then at bedtime, I thought I would read a bit more before sleep. I finished the book at 5:20 AM. Just could not put it down.”
“At last, a mystery that delivers…I found this novel superb because I got all I needed to know and none of what I didn’t.”
“…a gripping detective story but the main character engages you, and as well as wanting to know how the mystery turns out you want to learn more about her too.”
“…amazing book, read it front to back in one visit, couldn`t help myself…”
“…the most enjoyable Kindle book I have so far read since the ‘low cost electronic revolution’ which has been sweeping my reading habits for the last couple of years! Thoroughly recommended.”

Interesting plot, flawed characters make this an interesting read.
Difficult to put down. Loved it. Strongly recommend it
Very nice easy interesting
I would read it again.
fast pased.
Have read this series before and always enjoy. It is a good book. Keeps you guessing as to who is responsible.
Predictable
This is every parents nightmare. It was well written with twists that kept me turning pages.
I would suggest it to those who can read without becoming paranoid that it would happen to them.
Just finished reading the book absolutely loved it. I can’t wait to read the next one
A great mystery
Always a good author to read it you like mystery and action,
I like this whole series, main character feels real.
I noticed a couple of typos but I still enjoyed this book. It certainly kept me guessing. The main characters were well developed yet there was still mystery around them.
Somewhat predictable, but none the less a good read.
Great author. Develops the plot very well. Have to keep reading until the end. Foreshadowing is well hidden, but used effectively.
I like the main character and the story. A little slow and not as action packed as I’m used to with crime novels.
Interesting reading.
Haven’t read it, don’t have it, not interested
could not read this one
Couldn’t put it down..read it in 1 1/2 days with stops for housework and meals. Very intriguing, easy to read, not to gory, held my interest. Write more of these!
