The writing is witty and sharp; the story is gripping; and the characters are so realistic. Even the supporting characters are fully defined and interesting. What I didn't expect was a renewed appreciation given by this inside view of the world of journalism. With all the current focus on Fake News I loved being reminded of how vital news people are to our society. E.M. Danniher changes her community and certain individuals - for the better - due to her dogged pursuit of truth and justice.</p><p><br></p><p>I confess to being addicted to this series and characters. I LIKE them. I wish they were real.</p><p><br></p><p>E.M.'s internal monologues are sharp snappy and often hilarious.</p><p><br></p><p>A terrific series with a western flair. . . . Great characters that you would want as your friends. Smart funny but not perfect.Hoping this series lasts forever!</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><strong><em>More mystery from Patricia McLinn</em></strong></p><p><strong style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Secret Sleuth series</strong></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Death on the Diversion</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Death on Torrid Avenue</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Death on Beguiling Way</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Death on Covert Circle</span></p><p><span style=color: rgba(51 51 51 1)>Death on Shady Bridge</span></p><p>Death on Carrion Lane</p><p>Death on ZigZag Trail</p><p>Death on Puzzle Place</p><p><br></p><p><strong>The Innnocence Trilogy</strong></p><p>Proof of Innocence</p><p>Price of Innocence</p><p>Premise of Innocence</p>
