AmyBee (4 KP) rated The Ladykiller (DI Kate Burrows, #1) in Books

Sep 6, 2018

I really enjoyed this, despite having pre-existing ideas about Cole's writing. The story is very gripping and Cole does not use as many over-repeated phrases as her other books, although there is still a fair bit of Cockney slang written into it. (Some of which, I was forced to google!)

The anatagonist, George Markham, is a truly chilling character. The protagonist, Kate Burrows is a tough cop who's façade is only let down by her truly pathetic infatuation with the local mafiosa, Patrick Kelly.

Overall, a good read and very unputdownable. Shame Cole doesn't write like this all the time!

I laughed, I teared up, another great read from Kristan Higgins. Making my way through her backlog led me straight to Liam and Posey.

I felt a similarity to Posey in certain situations and personality moments. I felt like Liam made it full circle understanding himself as a teen to a single father.

Stacia and Max got a little overwhelming as did Kate and her blatant truth telling and Gretchen the boob who was whining constantly. I was able to overlook those annoyances though and really enjoy the meat of this book.
Plus I’m a sucker for a cute great dane.
