Yet another five star review
I was first drawn to this book by the title, after seeing it mentioned in the Authors' forum, as I was seeking a present for my husband who likes crime fiction, which I don't (usually). I was disappointed at first to find it was not available in paperback (because it doesn't seem much like a present if you simply download a book). However, at least it gave me the opportunity to read it first on my own Kindle and I was plesantly surprised.
This book fully exploits the 3 major human emotions: love, fear and rage, with most of the others in between (jealousy, remorse, revenge, etc). For me, a book really stays in mind when I think back and cannot remember if it was indeed a book, or a film I once saw. That is how 'real' the characters seemed.
I still hope to buy a printed copy for my husband when it becomes available, as well as the sequel(s).
How fabulous.

Editing Finished
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know that I have now finished editing IJ2, just going through a final read and the odd tweak before I upload it to Amazon and Smashwords.
Should be out sometime in February.

Another five star review.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Taut, well-written thriller., 13 Jan 2011 By (REAL NAME) This review is from: Impeding Justice (Kindle Edition) Impeding Justice is a roller-coaster ride, along a high wire of intrigue, fast action and mayhem.
The threads of this lightning-paced thriller are seamlessly stitched together in Mel Comley's Impeding Justice when protagonist, Detective Inspector Lorne Simpkins, has to set her wits against the evil arch-villain, The Unicorn.
The cataclysmic ending brilliantly paves the way for a sequel.
Definately worth a read!
Ahhh! I'm blushing now.

******COMPETITION******* With a triple whammy prize...
Happy New Year to you all.
Last night I completed the first draft of the sequel to Impeding Justice, but I can't think what to call it. At the moment it is called Running out of time.
So, whilst I spend a month editing it, I thought I'd ask the reading public if they had any ideas. The prize is a signed copy of both Impeding Justice 1 and 2 in paperback, with an acknowledgement for the winner in book two.
What do you think?
I don't want to say too much about the book in case I give the game away about the ending of Impeding Justice, but I will tell you that the sequel features the same characters. Involves, theft of valuable pieces of art, Interpol and a chase through beautiful France.
Get your thinking caps on.

Yet another Five Star review on Amazon.uk.
Excellent story that kept the pages turning. Very believable characters and I especially loved the heroine Lorne. The last page left me wanting more so hope we don't have to wait long for a sequel. Great writing and look forward to many more.

Yet another first class review for the book!
Review by: Kevin Argyle on Dec. 20, 2010 : (no rating)
Wasn't sure about this book, but thought I'd give it a Go,
A female cop, loses her partner and best friend on the first pages, the Killer is not the kind of guy you take home to meet Daddy,
Retribution being important, this guy kills the family of anyone who crosses him, so when one of his " Girls" a teenager, comforts another girl, he sees it as betrayal, her whole family are executed in horrific fashion, and she's made to watch the video of it, along with the other girls to teach the a lesson,
Meanwhile, Mr Nice Guy kidnaps our Cop Heroine's teenage daughter, and threatens to kill her,
He later kidnaps our cop lead's father, himself an ex cop,
Well I won't say what else happens, Don't want to spoil the plot,
Lets just say that Melanie Comley leaves room for a sequel at the end, and why is that good … Simply put this is a brilliant intriguing thriller, Not a family book to read to the kids, but if you want an absorbing story of Kidnap, Rape, Murder and Torture, well this is certainly the book for you,
The characters develop into believable realistic people, the depravity is as realistic as it could get, but it is not all gore, there is a very well crafted story, hints of romance, marital discord and trouble with the kids, so that's normal life right?
The author gives us our moneys worth, even though she sells it at a quarter the price it should be,
I'm waiting for the sequel, and for it to make the Best Seller List,
One you shouldn't miss!

Impeding Justice latest 5 star review on Amazon.co.uk
I've been a good girl(?) this year, please could I have the next book in the series NOW. I have rarely come across a book that has tickled my literary tastebuds as much as this book did. In fact I was upset when I reached the last page,everyone was so believable and human. The test of a good book for me is.....it isn't a book, I was actually THERE as things unfolded.I cannot wait for the next in the series, and the next, and the next!
Momz you're a star, bless you.
