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.”
“This was my introduction to the author, and I’m so glad I discovered the book. Well-written and a real page turner.”
“I was awake till the early hours to finish it !! I really enjoyed it and the characters in it so I’m pleased I also have the sequel downloaded to read at some point. I know it should be great.”
“Attention to detail and great character building coupled with a mystery that keeps you guessing are all the ingredients that make me keep reading till the early hours of the morning.”
“Celina Grace has done it again, she compels you from page to page and chapter to chapter, a great, riveting read…”
“I found it difficult to put down and was completely distracted from all the other things I should have been doing with my time.”
“This is a great series that I couldn’t put down and grabbed the next book right away at 1 a.m. to keep reading.”

When the F word is used in the first few pages I know it’s not a book discerning readers can wade through even if it’s a great book.
I just recently discovered the Kate Redman Mystery series and fell in love with the lead character and all of her foibles/insecurities and watched her grow and mature over the course of each progressive book. I look forward to reading more in this series.
Love the Kate Redman books..real page turners
Great book
The characters in this story are written so well! I feel like they are really out there in the world, flaws and all. The story was very good. It was easy to get invested in. Great job.
I had read the second book in this series first. I enjoyed that novel so much, that when this first in the series was offered on BookBub, I jumped to get it.
I particularly like how the characters have good, bad and in-between qualities. Life is not a bowl full of cherries, but they each bring coping skills to the challenges.
Good story, interesting characters.
dull to me
Love Celina Grace and her character Kate Redmon
I love Celina Grace. Her books are original.
