Main character pretty annoying. Constantly punching her partner and treating him like an idiot. Rude to friends and co-workers, then the next minute thinking how much she likes them. Won’t be reading any more of these.
I found myself never feeling very attached to the main characters and vaguely suspecting I knew what the general turn of events would be. Not my favorite detective series.
I enjoyed this book. I had never read this author, but was very pleased!
I love this series!! I haven’t read all of The Madison Knight series but those that I have read were awesome!! Love the characters, stories. Well written. Can’t rave about them more!!
Rather boring. I did not enjoy this book.
Great!
A real page turner who done it
I’m only about half way through and will review again when I’m finished. So far it is well written, keeps my attention and I like it. It does remind me a little of Eve in JD Robb’s In Death series. I’ll keep you posted
I liked the main character. I liked the mystery and thriller aspect of it.
Enjoyed this book. Would have liked some romance, but the mystery was very good. I would by her work again.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the development of these characters. Knight is often funny and always driven to solve the case. I think it is interesting how mad she gets with her supervisor, but often treats others as she accuses him of treating her. Love that her partner, Grant, tries to get her to see another side of living. i will read more in …
Great characters and easy to read. Fast paced.Definetly will read the others in this series
Carolyn Arnold has written a solid police procedure mystery. She develops her characters, giving each a distinct personality. Her plot follows three related cases. The ending contains a surprise.
It was ok. I was not impressed
A well written easy to read good book. The characters are enjoyable. A little predictable but not nearly as bad as some.
Very entertaining
Not one of my favorites.
#1 book in the Detective Madison Knight series. Very good – will read more in this series.
Not too bad.
This book was great. Hard to put down
