The main story - to find a missing woman - became to sub-story and wasn't developed enough.

Colleen Helme did not disappoint in this latest book about Shelby. The only bad part is having to wait for the next one! I have been addicted since Carrots. Is it me or does everyone else feel torn wanting her husband to turn out to be a bad guy so she can end up with Ramos?
Of all of the Shelby Nichols Adventure novels, "Deep in Death" by far is my favorite. This book was much more of an emotional roller coaster ride for me. Many of my favorite characters lives were in danger but at the same time the characters you would least expect rallied together.

I love a hot steamy romance as much as the next romance fan, however, I'm also a big mystery fan and was ready for a change. So, when I was given a chance to listen to and review this book, I gave it a chance. I'd never read anything from this author before, so I was reall on the fence about it, and was hoping I hadn't made a mistake. Boy, am I glad I tried it.

My new favorite of the series
This one has a few stories going on at once. It's full of excitement. Uncle Joey and Ramos get into a life threatening situation. Shelby catches the eye of a serial killer. Chris is starting to make me a little upset. He needs to realize that after over 30 years of not reading minds that it's to difficult for Shelby not to read minds now that she has the ability. I'm still a huge fan that Chris and Shelby have remained loyal and faithful to one another, even Shelby h ...more

I absolutely love this series! Each book can be read as a stand-alone, but I'm reading them in order just so I don't skip one! With each book, the main characters become more developed and the plot always sucks me in. I love that the writer doesn't feel compelled to choreograph and write explicit sex scenes or resort to using profanity to fill a word quota. I just find her books refreshing and engaging. Others have commented negatively about Shelby being married yet also finding another man attr

Shelby Nichols was a normal housewife, happy in her mundane life with two kids and a loving husband but everything changed the day she stopped to buy carrots and in turn got the gift of hearing people's thoughts! The journey that started in the first book in the series, Carrots, has taken Shelby a long way.

Shelby makes an entrance with a bullet in her arms from Helme's last novel of this series.She has returned with a new determination to keep on working as a Private Eye and keep out of trouble.
Keeping out of trouble for Shelby is next to impossible, especially when the old characters of Helme's book revisits. Uncle Joey wants her work for him while his niece, Kate, is back in the picture with her own set of troubles.

I loved "Deep in Death"! It may be Colleen's best book yet! I started it.... and finished it last night! I just couldn't put it down! It is a definite page turner and I loved every minute of it! This is definitely one I will read again and I'm so glad I got it. This book had an added twist to it that I really liked! Maybe Colleen will have this added dimension in books to come. It is so fun having a series that I enjoy. It's just hard waiting for the next book! I honestly had no idea what would

Wow. They just keep getting better.
This is a amazing mystery series. I love Shelby, the mind reading mother of two; Chris her loving lawyer husband; Uncle Joey the mob boss; Ramos the bodyguard/hit man; and Jackie the mob boss secretary. These people have become like family, quirky and annoying but there for you when the chips are down. In this book, Shelby gets into double trouble, not only needing to help Uncle Joey in Seattle, but also in tracking a serial killer. As usual her mind reading bo ...more

Great! Every book in this series seems to get better and I loved Carrots! For the first time Shelby discovers that her ability to read minds may not be her only gift or maybe she is just a little more open that some people. While she works to discover what happened to a woman who who disappeared several years ago, she gets frightening thoughts from people about Uncle Joey. When she gets horrifying news, she and Jackie fly to Seattle to uncover more information. I held my breath through half of t

another great book in this series! There were several surprises in this book, none that I saw coming....well maybe one of them once I knew who they were looking for and I even tried to throw another character "under the bus" but he was a good guy. But it seemed very plausible that he could have been in on it.
I started this series about 4 books in and have book 1 that explains how Shelby came to read minds, just haven't read it yet. But each book does a pretty good job of explaining it and making ...more

Loving this book and it's a close run with my other favourite in this series, but I love that whilst trying to find out what happened on a cold case, leads to Shelby finding the killer and being on his list as his next victim!

First, I would like to thank the author Colleen Helme for giving me this book for an honest reveiw. I totally enjoyed reading this mystery. The story-line is very good. The characters are well developed and written. The main character Shelby is a housewife and mother. I loved this book and now I have to catch up with the series. Colleen Helme has done an excellent job writing this book and I look forward to reading more books by her.
Fabulous
Shelby is an awesome character and her adventures take the readers on adrenaline laced rushes of nonstop action. I love the writing and thought put into each book. I read Carrots a while ago and couldn't wait to see the next book but, it wasn't out yet. I forgot about it and was very pleased that in that time four more had been written. I love this series and know that others will too. ...more

This was a great book! I felt like I was right there with Shelby through every breathtaking moment! My heart raced at times, and I laughed out loud at others! This was a thrilling adventure that I was thinking about even when I wasn't reading it! I would highly recommend this book! This is a wonderful series and I hope to enjoy many more Adventures in the future.

This was the last book (so far) in this series that deals with a mind-reading heroine and all the almost-killing-her scenarios she falls into. Non-stop action and lots of different plots run through each book, and make the reading well worth the time. I am going to practice breathing now, for awhile, while waiting for a new book in this series to appear!!
This was my 2nd favorite.

NARRATOR: Wendy Tremont King.
Yet another extremely entertaining story in this fabulous series and a wonderful narrator in Wendy Tremont King, she does a really great job with all the voices.
Shelby has recovered from being shot in the last book and is ready to go back to work. She takes on a cold case of a missing woman after the daughter hires her to find out what really happened to her Mum, if she can. She just wants some closure before she gets married.

I really enjoyed this book it had so much going on, I wanted to hurry up and get to the end to find out what happens but at the same time didn't want to finish the book.

Shelby is really kind. She is an accommoding to people schedule. I so hope that Bates gets to ear crow in this book because he deserves it.
Maybe Shelby does need to go to counseling. She missed Uncle Joey.
Let's see what kind of trouble will come to Shelby s front door this time. It's funny when supernatural things happen how you tend to explain things away..
Shelby just barely escapes trouble by the skin of her teeth sometimes.

Holy Ramos. Shelby gets into some dangerous situations even when the case has nothing to do with Uncle Joey. This is another adventure that will leave you at the edge of your seat wanting to know more. And can we just talk about the chemistry between Shelby and Ramos...like seriously just one kiss. Although I dont agree with cheating, and I am starting to like Chris, I still find Ramos to be one hot piece of man. Shelby faces emotions and killers in this adventure. This is a must read for all fa

Definitely DEEP in Death
Shelby really has put herself in danger this time. Taking on a dead case from six years ago seems like a piece of cake but Shelby has underestimated evil. And then there’s Uncle Joey’s usual problems that need Shelby’s help. This time it seems too much. This is yet another edge of your seat, can’t put this book down read. There’s some humor scattered throughout just to break up the tension. If you like cozy mysteries with a touch of paranormal, you’ll enjoy this series!

Awesome
Another great story. I love that there are multiple plot lines in each book, and this one is no exception. Shelby has three interesting cases, one with her mob boss, one with the police, and one she got from her consulting business. Again, the cases intertwine through the book seamlessly. The pace never slows down, which I love.

A simple job is not always what you need
Awesome! A simple PI job is exactly what she needs until it turns deadly. Now someone is targeting her and everyone / everything she holds dear. An example of the best writing available. I think these have more humour than the Stephanie Plum books. Don't miss out. ...more
