   NOT a mystery but a romance with a lot of repetition. I will not read the remainder of the set.

   Entertaining Reads I chose to rate this series as a five star review, because I was interested enough to read all three books in one week. I have to say, I started to read Debra Burrough's books, because I was interested the fact that she's an indie author and a USA Today/NY Times best-selling author. Go, Debra! I loved the first two books, the friendships, action, and sweet romance. I did think by the third book, it was a little redundant with the facts about what previously happened.

I loved the first two books, the friendships, action, and sweet romance. I did think by the third book, it was a little redundant with the facts about what previously happened. They were reiterated over and over, and I found myself skipping the facts I already knew. In a way, that's good. It reads as a standalone, but for readers who read from the beginning, it was a little frustrating. I like her 3rd person writing style. It made me feel like the characters were real. All in all, an enjoyable read!

   I enjoyed these books. They were not amazing or anything, and character traits were irksome but overall it was fairly easy to just take them lightly and enjoy the stories. I guess one of my main problems was being able to know what the outcome was going to be? It's hard for me to guess what's going to happen in a story, usually, so to say that I easily saw where these stories were heading is saying something. Again, not the most annoying thing, just not the best stories. I enjoyed these books.

   Fair to midland The potential of a good book but for me doesn't quite work. Story line is good but dialog is sometimes just not realistic. Not how folks really speak to each other. But maybe the romantic readers want to think so. Just sounded goofy to me. But I hung in there and the murder mystery was wrapped up with a good spin.

   I liked them ... I actually read them awhile back but decided to refresh the characters before reading a later book ...

    Debra Burroughs has a great style of writing. It conveys information in depth and captures the reader very quickly. A small town in Idaho is the stage for action involving love, espionage, covert action, and the interaction of good friends. Although each of the books is complete on its own, the story carries over from one book to the next. This set of the first three books is a real bargain, and it also includes a novella that adds more meat to the story.

This set of the first three books is a real bargain, and it also includes a novella that adds more meat to the story. The story includes violence without gore, romance without graphic sex, and captures beautifully the relationships found in a small town. The lies of the book titles involve deceit, direct misinformation and sins of omission. Each of the books involves a different set of crimes, but many of the same people are involved throughout. All the characters are people the reader should be familiar with, and the story progresses as if t was going on in your neighborhood.

    Looking for a good mystery series to read over the holidays or that vacation that's coming up...this could be just what you want. Follow Emily as she tries to get her life back together after her husband dies. Taking up the role of P.I. and finalising his last case brings a sense of fulfillment . With her friends help she starts to investigate what happened to Evan and finds more questions than answers.

    So good roundabout it down I read them all in one day. I had to know everything. Emily Parkers husband was murdered. She went from being a real estate agent to being a private eye. She met a sexy detective who had secrets of his own ..when they met things heated up and the mysteries were flying. Emily gradually finds out who killed her husband. And sparks fly between Emily and Colin , the detective. Love this series

    Didn’t want to stop reading This three book series is well written and has well developed plot lines. There are twists and turns galore. The characters are defined and interesting. The author kept the story exciting and the relationship between Emily and Colin sweetly romantic but just when the action could have gotten more than romantic with all those kisses and tingles bursting, the scenes change! Nicely done Debra Burroughs.

    Not a bad read but the "gushing" and similar expressions got on my nerves. It is more of a romance than a mystery. The author tends to repeat prior info in case you hadn't read the previous book. Maybe they were stand alones and they decided to lump them together. Not a bad read but the "gushing" and similar expressions got on my nerves. It is more of a romance than a mystery.

    Good clean mystery Good clean mystery with just the right amount of romance. Love her books! Only complaint would be that they should be in order in the volume. The last is #2.5 and it would have been nice to read it in sequel had I realized it was not .

    Great books Love that she doesn't take Gods name in vain or have trashy sex scenes. I'm going to get more of her books. Great books Love that she doesn't take Gods name in vain or have trashy sex scenes. I'm going to get more of her books.

    I enjoyed these books very much. An easy read. I live in Boise and know where Paradise Valley is. My only critique is that Boise and Paradise Valley are farther apart than is related in the books.
