Currently working my way through the series, very well written and hard to put down.
Odd title but wonderful murder mystery
Don’t start to read this book late at night, you’ll never be able to put it down!!
I love Celina Grace books.
Kate is a great character and I found this book hitting close to home. Very realistic, engaging and wanting Kate to stay with Anderton. A book that will definitely bring out your emotions.
As always with a Kate Redman Mystery it’s always a very good read.
Scimitar is an absolutely wonderful addition to this series! I LOVE this entire series and especially the way the characters have come to seem like friends that I look forward to catching up with.
The author allows her characters to grow and mature and as they change, their relationships and work experience change also. This is a huge plus and I especially enjoy the way we’ve seen Kate Redman change since the first book in this series. In Scimitar, Celina Grace has addressed a very topical issue ~ terrorism ~ and does is exceedingly well. I felt like I was there when one of the terrorist events happened and could definitely “see” and feel how it affected her friend and colleague that she calls “Bird”. They use that as a nickname for each other and I really like that.
Celina Grace plots a fast paced, hard to figure out whodunit and brings in plenty of personal issues from the lives of her characters also. I hope she never quits writing this series because I never want to stop reading it.
I was fortunate to receive and ARC at my request. All thoughts in this review are my own and happily given because I love this author’s work and recommend these books all the time.

honest opinion
I really liked this story with all the mystery and occurance’s in everyone’s life. The solving of this case means everyone has to look harder to come to a correct conclusion. This is a heartbreaker of a story, but a great read. I have read most if not all of the books by Celina Grace and I don’t intend to miss any of her books.
