Simon Farraday was a respectable business man; successful, wealthy and with a loving wife and family. He was also heavily into sadomasochistic sex with virtual strangers, judging by the manner of his brutal, squalid murder. Detective Sergeant Kate Redman could do without the complexities of this case, coping as she is with trying to maintain her long-distance relationship with her boyfriend Tin, … boyfriend Tin, deal with her recurrent attraction to her boss DCI Anderton and support her friend DI Mark Olbeck in his efforts to adopt a child. But investigating a case with such dark undercurrents of desire and jealousy means that the solution to the mystery may hit just a little too close to home…
Siren is the ninth book in the bestselling series The Kate Redman Mysteries, from crime writer Celina Grace.

I enjoyed this … but it wasn’t that great a book … enjoyable yes — exciting or suspense-filled no! But then again, because it fell into the ‘cozy mystery’ category, this was to be expected.
The main characters work well together, but almost every chapter in this much too wordy effort had quite predictable conclusions.
The resolution to this mystery … the author was smart enough not to give enough information so the reader could have more than a 50-50 chance to solve this mystery.
I enjoyed it, and that’s why I read such a cross-section of books … pure enjoyment.
A murder mystery combined with romance.
Good characters, interesting mystery. But when you take the intrigue out of a possible relationship – not sure how it’s going to be for this series now.
Enjoy the Kate Redmond series.
Great read. Really enjoyed it.
Not her best work, but still worth the read!
I enjoy the main character and the story.
Excellent character development and good writing. Every conversation is recounted in complete detail. Long read, though. First person narration is very effective.
I love all the Kate Redman stories.
Very good mystery, keeps you guessing as to who did it. As all the other Kate Redman mystery’s its a page turner.
I’m writing “Siren,” Celina Grace has
another winner-must read mystery in
her corner again. Her characters are
always well developed and witty and
the plot keeps you wondering and
guessing!! Another great mystery from
the ‘mother country’.
