Cruel Justice by Mel Comley - Reviewer says: Just how does one handle being a detective on a case which takes up most of your time while maintaining a relationship with a husband and preteen? Detective Inspector Lorne Simpkins hasn't figured that out and it's placing a severe strain on her relationship with her husband Tom and daughter. I pretty much like everything about DI Simpkins and her partner DS Pete Childs. As DI Simpkins tries to solve this case of a serial killer, she struggles for semblance of a family life. She means well but it's not working out well. There is tension in her marriage, tension between herself and a coworker, tension in tracking down this ruthless killer, and tension of another sort. Cruel Justice is a fast-paced tension novel taking place in the UK.

Impeding Justice by Mel Comley - Reviewer says: Impeding Justice by Mel Comley is a fast paced action packed book that I really enjoyed and was totally engrossed in. With Detective Inspector Lorne Simpkins as the heroine and the Unicorn as her evil nemesis, the action is non-stop. The other characters were a great supporting cast and played an integral part in the story. When the Detective Inspectors daughter gets pulled into this force of evil you will be on the edge of your seat! This book has all the twists and turns you would expect from a really great story. I would recommend this book to everyone, it was great!

Final Justice by Mel Comley - Reviewer says:  I really enjoyed this sequel to Impeding Justice. Lorne is just as feisty as ever, but it's the three-dimensional properties of this character that drew me in. Her fears and vulnerabilities are a pleasant change from the stereotypical crime fighting heroines one finds in the genre'. And the Unicorn, Baldwin, is an antagonist that any reader will love to hate. The boat scene made me want to kill him myself, slowly! Excellent character development and a fitting conclusion. Well done.

Toxicity by Libby Hellmann - Reviewer says: I loved this book from the instant I started reading. The novel was intense, beautifully written, intrigue and spellbinding. I did NOT want to stop reading it and completed it within a day. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for an entertaining, intense literary piece.

Easy Innonence by Libby Hellmann - Reviewer says: Very 'real' story with true-to-life details. Kept me reading & hooked right to the end - the author does a masterful job of interweaving and giving just enough details to entice. Many characters to keep straight (thank goodness for Kindle's search feature) and it could use a once-over by a good editor, mostly for punctuation. But any flaws are happily overlooked while enjoying a great, character-driven story.

Double Back by Libby Hellmann - Reviewer says: I am a huge Hellman fan, and I can say that, as always, her latest novel does not disappoint! Partnering the two female protagonists from her previous novels together in Doubleback was, in my opinion, a stroke of genius, and leaves one anxiously waiting to learn if they will star in her next novel. The book is a great read; fast- paced, action -packed, not predictable and not to be missed!
