Dee Henderson

Dear Readers,

It has been a couple books since I have read a Dee Henderson book.  She has a loyal following and because she is a consistent writer she is easy to recommend to any and all readers.  She is the queen of the unofficially title genre, romantic suspense.  Many years before anyone else was writing it, she was penning the O'Malley series that remains popular today.  

Traces of Guilt not only adds to her already impressive list of titles, it also starts a new series for us to enjoy.  The Evie Blackwell Cold Case series introduces us to Evie as she starts a working vacation in Carin County IL with two cold cases that have affected many  of the families living there.   As Evie dives into her investigation, she realises there maybe more at stake than just finding the killers, her own heart maybe in danger. 

One thing that Dee does so very well is include characters from past series.  It is like the chance to visit with old friends.  But I still have no idea how she is able to keep that all straight.  However she does, it makes for a fun read.  

I always find myself regretting when I don't have time to read Dee's books.  They are a wonderful way to pass the time.  Her characters are interesting, often with a fascinating backstory.   It just makes the story all the more richer for it. 

If you haven't had the pleasure of reading Dee Henderson's books before Traces is a great place to start, but if you wish to remain in writing order, start with the Negotiator, book #1 of the O'Malley series.  

Happy Reading, 

Dee Henderson

Dear Readers,

Dee Henderson was and is the queen of romantic suspense.  In fact I think the entire genre is considered “Dee Henderson” like.  I know people that have re-read the O’Malley series several times, each time enjoying it more and more.  To say this book is eagerly awaited is just a bit of an understatement. 

Full Disclosure is Dee’s first book in 5 years.  There was a time when people had just figured she was no longer writing.  I loved being able to tell people that I knew liked her books that she had another one coming.  The best part of it is Full Disclosure is book one of a series.  (Yeah!)

Ann is a cop’s cop.  She is very good at what she does and is able to use her skill in a way that it helps lots and lots of police departments around the country.  This is how FBI agent, Paul Falcon meets her; a case comes across her desk that seems to intersect with a case the FBI has been working on. 

After meeting her and working with her a bit, Paul realizes that he wants to get to know her more.  There are so many things he doesn’t know or understand about Ann, but wants to learn.  Why is she so secretive about her past?  Why does she know so many important people, including a former Vice President?  Paul is beginning to wonder if her secrets will keep them apart.

I really enjoyed reading this book.   I was worried, needlessly, that Dee may have lost a step in her writing.  There is nothing to worry about, if anything she has gotten better.  I loved her characters and the plot lines that she had for them.  I wanted to know more about each one of them and am looking forward to her next book in the series.  No I don’t know when that will be, but hopefully soon.

Happy Reading
