Absolute Nail on the HeadI have read all of the Kate Rosetta series to date and this installment does not disappoint。 Great balance of personal and professional life in characters。 If you're looking for steamy sex, you're not going to find it in these books。 So refreshing。 I have tried other of Gina LaManna's books, but did not match up to this series。 Keep up the good work。 Absolute Nail on the HeadI have read all of the Kate Rosetta series to date and this installment does not disappoint。 Great balance of personal and professional life in characters。 If you're looking for steamy sex, you're not going to find it in these books。 So refreshing。 I have tried other of Gina LaManna's books, but did not match up to this series。 Keep up the good work。 。。。more
Debi Paglia,
Great addition to this series - exciting, compelling, thought provoking, entertaining! The main character has trust issues。 She also has a tight knit family that cares deeply for each other。 The cases in this series are so original。 The author’s descriptions make you feel like you are there! Can’t wait for the next one!
Krystal Smith,
I absolutely adore this series。 The characters are well developed and the story line catches you by the end of the first chapter。 I can’t wait for the next installment。
Laura,
I was given an advanced reading copy of the book。 I loved it! Once again Gina Lamanna hit the “Nail On the Head。” Once I started reading, I could not put this book down。 I highly recommend it。 Gina Lamanna continues to be one of my go to authors。

An interesting murder investigation。 Detective Kate has a slew of things on her mind lately。 Her relationship with Agent Brody, her partners impending retirement, her friendship with Gem the billionaire。 Lots going on in her life, but will all the other stuff interfere with solving her current big case? As far as the mystery goes, it's interesting。 Not too many suspects, but enough so it's not an open and shut case。 The motive is also unknown。 Kate visits a convicted murderer in prison, and it h An interesting murder investigation。 Detective Kate has a slew of things on her mind lately。 Her relationship with Agent Brody, her partners impending retirement, her friendship with Gem the billionaire。 Lots going on in her life, but will all the other stuff interfere with solving her current big case? As far as the mystery goes, it's interesting。 Not too many suspects, but enough so it's not an open and shut case。 The motive is also unknown。 Kate visits a convicted murderer in prison, and it has that gritty vibe that you'd get in any big time thriller, which gives this a more hardcore feeling, even though generally speaking it's a little more on the cozy side。 The crimes are not played out in the pages。 There is no sexual content, but it is alluded to。 This can be read as a stand alone, but I'd suggest reading them in order to get the full story of the relationships involved, as they carry over from book to book in the series。 It's well plotted out and quick and easy to read。 It's written from Kate's POV。 。。。more
