It was an interesting mystery and I liked Kathleen Doyle, however Lord Acton is a stalkerish creep. I honestly didn't get the romance of it. Quite apart from the disparity in class and wealth, and yes this shouldn't matter but when she's Irish, living from paycheque to paycheque and a rookie and he...

I was a big fan of "Murder in Thrall" so couldn't wait to get my hands on book #2. Police procedurals are my favourite genre & the ones I've enjoyed the most have a couple of things in common: a smart, complex plot & characters that are interesting & fully realized. This series delivers. DC Kathleen...

By far this is my favorite book by Anne Cleeland right now. In fact, it's so awesome I want to either re-read it or get my hands onto the next book in series which will only be out in summer next year.

Murder in Thrall was not what I expected I really enjoyed the book. I was looking forward to a good mystery and I got one. But, what I didn't expect was a sweet romance. The mystery was interesting with a few twists. I definitely didn't call the killer nor did I figure out his motivation for ki...

First-year Detective Kathleen Doyle is a plucky Irish redhead. Chief Inspector Michael Acton is a British lord turned cop. He's tall, handsome and enigmatic...to a fault. Acton selects Doyle out of the newbie squad to partner with him on a series of investigations because she always knows when someo...

I'm honestly loving this series. First Tainted Angel and now this wonderful book! I swear, despite somewhat dry, slightly detached way of telling the story, Anne Cleeland creates such sharp characters, I can't stay away from their adventures.Hathor comes to Paris in search of her childhood friend ho...
