I love a mystery – especially when it’s difficult to solve. This author is new to me and I will definitely look for her books again.
good solid mystery to spend some time with.
Powerful police procedural. Very interesting characters. Not as deep as say Elizabeth George, but very engaging. I definitely want to read the rest of the series. (I tried to subscribe to the author’s mailing list to get a free copy of an earlier installment in the series, but it never seemed to work for me despite trying two different browsers. Probably shouldn’t say this, but the books are good enough to pay for.)
I wish the author would use farther/further properly. It’s just something that drives me nuts and takes away from my enjoyment. It’s romantic, which I’m not a fan but it’s a good read.
The story starts out slowly,but builds to a tangled web that’s funny at times. Mystery and murder done well with descriptively written form.
Continues the series in typical fashion. Books stand alone but enhanced by reading in order.
I enjoyed this author!
A very good read at the beach or on an airline novel.
Have never read a Celina Grace novel that I didn’t enjoy, always look forward to the next one.
Another great book by Celina Grace!
As usual books by Celina Grace are always a fun read
Great original story! Fast paced with interesting characters and a great story line. Kept the reader guessing until the end. My first read of this author, but I will be looking more.
I love Kate Redman mysteries.
I really enjoyed these characters and am looking forward to reading more in this series.
One of my favorite authors and series.
I’ve read 5 books in the Kate Redmond series and have like them all.
no no
In reserve 5 stars for the classics.
This was a very good book; I could hardly pause while reading.
I have very much enjoyed all the books in this series. Kate is a woman we can all relate to and all of the story lines are interesting and believable.
