Reviews for the Angelhart Investigations series:
“You’ll Never Find Me is classic Allison Brennan with a fresh twist. The Angelhart family of private investigators are whip-smart, courageous characters you can’t help but root for, especially the truly compelling Margo. Faced with a complicated set of cases that leave you guessing until the very end, Brennan doles out just the right amount of family drama while moving the story effortlessly between cases. Coupled with the unique Arizona setting, chilling villains, and Brennan’s signature snappy prose, this is the beginning of a fabulous new series from the queen of crime fiction.” —J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of It’s One of Us
“Allison Brennan just raised the bar for private eye fiction! You'll Never Find Me is complex, combustible and convincing. Margo Angelhart is a heroine you can root for: a modern private investigator with an old school hard-boiled soul. Secrets, action, suspense, You'll Never Find Me has it all!” —Matt Coyle, Shamus Award-winning author of the Rick Cahill private eye series
Reviews for Quinn & Costa thriller series:
“You’ll be turning the pages as fast as you can, rooting for Matt and Kara and the FBI team. The best part? The Third to Die is the first thriller in Brennan’s amazing new series.”
—Catherine Coulter, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Labyrinth
“Allison Brennan does it again! An edge-of-the-seat, can’t-put-it-down thrill ride of a story... Once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop!”
—Marcia Clark, bestselling author of Snap Judgment
“Riveting, terrifying, and simply fantastic.Brennan ratchets up the tension to the breaking point. This is classic crime fiction at its best...from the queen of the thriller.”
—J.T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of Lie to Me
"A strong and damaged protagonist as compelling as Lisbeth Salander."
—Kirkus Reviews
