by J.C. Paulson

Solving crimes isn't the only passion they share.Together for the first the first three mysteries in the suspenseful, thrilling Adam and Grace mystery series.Reviewers say you will be "hooked from the first bloody page."The first three Adam's Witness (Book One)Broken Through (Book Two)Fire Lake (Book Three)Reviews for Adam's "We have some great twists and belly-drop moments, without any of the typical, all-too-convenient crime fiction tricks frequently plaguing the genre. I found myself pulling for Adam and his colleagues, not just because I wanted to know whodunnit, but because I wanted justice.""The triggering event and underlying theme for this book explores intolerance and hate. Paulson does a superb job of leading that exploration in a way that feels natural to both the story and the characters.Since I can't give this book more than five stars I will simply say ... read it. You will not regret it."Reviews for Broken Through (based on a true crime): "JC Paulson tells this story in a way which a journalist with a great background in working the crime beat would, and though fictional, is told like a true crime story! Her exploration into the criminal mind in a fictional manner is fascinating! Highly recommend!""There's a special joy when you start reading a book and forget the words because you start feeling the story."Reviews for Fire "This is a really compelling story that absolutely had me biting my nails, on the edge of my seat and shaking in my boots! I could not put this book down until the end.""When you mix fire and water, you get steam."

About the author

J.C. Paulson thinks a mystery can, and perhaps should, also be a love story.
Switching from fact (journalism) into fiction (novels, mostly) later in life, it seemed a natural thing to combine the two. Evil versus good. Hate versus love. Think Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane, and a host of cozy mystery couples — not that her novels are very cozy.
Changing the world would be nice, too. Fiction allows us to swallow the bitter pills of social injustice and still (hopefully) be entranced, entertained and entangled in their solutions.
A rabid reader of mystery novels, J.C. Paulson has long admired the works of Dorothy Sayers, P.D. James, Louise Penny and Ann Cleeves.
She lives in a rambling bungalow on a quiet street in Saskatoon, Canada with her husband, Ken, a goldsmith. She therefore wears a tiny golden replica of her first murder weapon around her neck.

[Jay Batista · Rating 5 out of 5]

5-star Detective Thriller Love Story!

Grace and Adam continue their torrid affair amidst new threats and dangers. A simple get-away weekend turns into a murder investigation involving ghosts from Grace’s past and triggering Adam’s PTSD. The team closes closer while unmasking a serial killer and a deep state conspiracy.

I enjoyed the character growth and the twists and turns of the murder mystery on Ferguson Lake. The book is a satisfying conclusion to the Adam and Grace series and I can recommend it to readers who like spicy romance and police and journalistic investigative thrillers.

I chose to review each of the three books separately but I loved them all and recommend the set to anyone who enjoys mysteries/police procedurals. Fantastic books!
