Following the brutal murders of Jade Kelly and Gina Elliot, newly promoted DI Dylan Monroe is assigned to work the case, alongside DS Layla Monahan.

With time against them, Dyl

The Redhead
From the start the cover caught my attention and I had to know what was going on between the pages.

Immediately I was drawn into this story. The suspense and mystery behind the gruesome killings hit within the first few chapters. Who is killing these women? What are the police going to do about it? How many more victims will there be before the killer is caught? My need for answers grew with each page I turned. The story flows so well, I found myself reading until well past my bedtime, only to p

Absolutely brilliant!!!!!

I couldn't wait for this book to be released and it exceeded my expectations tenfold!
It was so exciting and funny, I laughed out loud so many times....and the labour scene was hilarious!!!
The humour and banter throughout with the most amazing characters, is a perfect balance to the atrocities weaving through this story which was also gruesome and so sad in places.....highlighting issues which are unfortunately, still taboo for many.
Convinced I knew who the killer was, I

I absolutely loved this thriller! This story flowed so well I could not tell that it was a co-write. I adored Dylan Monroe right from the start. He had such a sense of loyalty, honor and team work and I can't forget the willingness to do whatever it took to find out who was doing all the killing. His interactions with Roy were hilarious at times and the delivery scene with Bella you do not want to miss. I was very impressed with the mix of suspense, mystery and humor throughout the entire book. ...more

Marcus and Netta had me held captive right from the very start with this Gruesome, Murder Mystery. Pulling me into the story, as DI Dylan Monroe and his team try to find a link to the brutally murdered Transsexuals, all of whom are regulars at Dorothy's. I was kept guessing to who may have done it, only to be totally floored with the twist I didn't see coming.
The humour through out the story kept it real and made me fall in love with some of the characters, especially Roy and Dylan/Avaline Sadd

Wow. What a thriller. This is the first book I have read by Netta Newbound and Marcus Brown and it will not be the last. When a cops go and becomes a drag queen because of all the murders it will have you on the edge of your seat. I thought I knew who was doing all the killings but was I surprised. You will have to read this excellent book. Enjoy

Everything about Avaline Saddlebag was unique, the beautiful cover, the well written storyline and the characters. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this murder mystery, it delivered a little bit of everything from suspense, drama, humour and then added some emotional tugging at the heart strings. It was thought provoking and I found myself looking at things from a different perspective.

Roaming the streets is a murderer, the victims are transgender and whoever is responsible is not leaving a trail o
