well done

enjoyed the story and the performance
thanks so much for the enjoyable time from an aspiring writer

Nothing special and a bit gross.

I listened to half of this and tried to delete it.
Not my cup of tea.

boring

didnt like the story line. narration was ok. this book just drags on with a ramble. yuk.

Really good!

Thought this was a really good story. Quick read. Kept my interest the whole time. I’ve been loving the “quick read” stories lately. They go right down to business, the action comes quick, and there’s less fluff. And then you have a take like this one where Ms. Casey gives you the perfect amount of “fluff” and leaves you totally respecting her as an author of this genre. She does a fabulous job of investing you in her characters, especially the main, without taking up 16 pages describing a hanging bulb’s rays of light reflecting off of the lone butter knife in the corner on the floor. Ugh. Lol. She does it right and that takes a special talent. Can’t wait to look into more of her work. She’s a fun character for sure.

Excellent portrayal of the female struggle

Excellent portrayal of the struggle involved with being a minority (female) in a career dominated by males. Ignore naysayers, I am glad I did...Solid performance and short story of a new police officer trying to excel.

wish it was longer

I need more! a sequel. something. I'm hooked and now I need more to read

Quick listen

This was a good book to listen to while I was cleaning. When it ended, almost 3 hours had passed and most of my housework was done. I'd say thats a good thing!

Good one

It was a good selection. Built up characters quickly and a simple but good crime element. Had a hard time with the accent but was still good.

Good job

Enjoyed immensely. Good writing, characters and situations. Very believable. I look forward to reading your other books.

Where has MEve Kerrigan been hiding?

I can't believe I haven't found this series before now! Great character in Maeve, can't wait to get the next book in the series.
