“It’s been awhile since I read Willow Rose, but definitely remembered her name. The twists and turns were all so surprising. Can’t talk about them or it will give it all away. The only thing I didn’t like were the brats. Sorry, but her children were not very well behaved and too much like today’s kids who get excused for everything.” by Amazon Customer

Most of the stories are of the police procedure type but there is one that is psychological as a woman whose baby died is accused of stealing another. One plot deals with cutting edge genetic research where a person is willing to kill to gain control of the lucrative company. One story takes us deep into the dark web where a game turns out to actually be an avenue for selling armaments. Another is about a drug ring where some of the local police are involved. And there is another that is more war oriented, taking place in Iraq. There is even a story for the lover of all things Amish.” by Amazon Customer
