Another great book
Really enjoying these fast paced short stories. They grab you from the beginning & you want more at the end.
Detective Griffin is hot on the tail of the vigilante, I like the way there are two stories in one, a personal side which continues through the series and individual case’s is each book. I really like the characters and we are learning a little more again in this book. Audrey keeps you guessing once again all the way through to the end, I like the detail that’s put in as it makes you imagine the rooms and what’s happening.
Definitely worth reading.
This was part of a boxed set. Shelby Griffin is a detective for the LAPD. In this boxed set she gets involved with a gang war, a vigilante, someone trying to kill the homeless and a mysterious person trying to take over the city among other crimes. Could this person be pulling all of the strings on all of these crimes or are there others involved? Who is the vigilante and is he trying to help or hurt Shelby? The storylines were intense. It was action-packed with a strong heroine, a likable cast and it got you engaged rooting for Shelby and those involved in working with/helping her solve these crimes. So many twists and turns to keep you guessing. What a gripping thriller that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat.
Sleepless Mind – a review by Rosemary Kenny
Detectives Shelby Griffin and Thomas Morris are grilling a gang enforcer by the name of ‘Gray Jimmy’ Hess in tandem with DA Tracy Young, to give up his boss and the guy who gave him a contract. Captain Ramirez then sends them on an undercover mission to get proof.
Who murdered the hypochondriac, Norma and her hospital pharmacist daughter, Gemma – and why?
Who’s spreading a deadly disease among the homeless on the streets of LA?
A cleverly plotted denouement clears up another case for Shelby Griffin and Audrey Walker has another tale of the unexpected for your reading pleasure…go get em, cowboy!
I received a discounted electronic copy of these short police procedural novels, five in all, from the author. Audrey Walker writes a concise, compelling tale peopled with protagonists who are well rounded and very human, and her twists and turns in the plot are credible and well-executed. Taking place in Los Angeles, the joys and pitfalls of that community play into the storyline, are actually another character at play. Each tale is complete in and of itself, with a trailing tidbit leading into the next. The stories would be fine taken one by one, but I found myself binging right on through to the other side. These are crimes that could occur anywhere, and Shelby Griffin and her partner Trevor Morris are members of the Los Angeles Police Department, detectives in the Murder Squad. They work well together, though their personalities would seem to make that impossible. The play as they work together on a crime is smooth and obviously something well-rehearsed. It is a pleasure to observe them working the crime. Aubrey Walker is an author I am pleased to recommend to friends and family.
Shelby Griffin Series Box Set included the first five of these short novels, Sleepless Night, Sleepless Mind, Sleepless Street, Sleepless Hunt, and Sleepless Shelby.
Shelby and her partner can’t get anything out of Jimmy. Then they find a lady dead by anaphylactic shock due to someone forcing aspirin in her mouth. They had to know she was allergic. Then they discover her estranged daughter is a pharmacist in the hospital. They go to see her but find her dead. There is a note in her pocket with Shelby’s name on it the word typhus and a cartoon drawing of the vigilante. Can’t wait to read book 3 in this series.
I enjoyed this second book in the series with Shelby Griffin and her partner as they solve crimes. I received an ARC from the author and this is my voluntary review.
