Congratulations to "Taurus", and "Jonetta", the winners in Anne's giveaway. Thank you to all who participated!
Murder in Containment: Doyle, Acton, and the joys of an
unconventional romance
Every
romantic suspense story features an unconventional romance almost by definition—the
couple has to fall in love quickly, and under hazardous conditions. So what happens when there’s a sequel, or even
a series? The couple can’t fall in love again, so the relationship has to
sustain the reader’s interest in some other way.

In Murder in Containment,
Detective Sergeant Kathleen Doyle realizes that several apparently unrelated
murders are actually “containment” murders—murders to contain an ominous
scandal that could reach into the highest levels at the CID. In the process of tracking down the killers,
however, she comes to the unsettling realization that Chief Inspector Acton has
committed a containment murder or two of his own.
Giveaway:
Anne will be giving away two print copies of MURDER IN CONTAINMENT to two lucky readers leaving a comment or email entry.

Anne, I am so very happy to have "met" you on the JRS blog today! I don't know where I've been not to have read any of your books so far...but I can tell that's going to change quickly. :-) Romantic suspense is what I thrive on and I am definitely looking forward to reading one of your stories. Thanks for the introduction! jdh2690@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Janice, I hope you like them!
ReplyDeleteI discovered the first three Acton & Doyle books about a year ago, and quickly devoured them. So looking forward to the continuing story!
ReplyDeleteI too enjoy the "hidden identity" concept.

Having read all 3 of the previous books in this series and having met you at Left Coast Crime this year, the new book is a must-read!
ReplyDeleteI have read all the books in this series and I just love Cleeland as an author and as one of the kindest human beings I know. I can't wait to read Murder in Containment. Rae
ReplyDeleteThis is such a remarkably fresh and different series with interesting characters. I can't wait to read book 4.
