Thanks Suzanne, I'll definitely have to check it out. The Captain Lacey series is one of my favorites! I look forward to each new release.
You're welcome, Dorie. The Lacey series is one of my favorites, too. I've read all seven -- and supposedly there's a new one coming. Ooh-rah!Suzanne Adair

Yeah, me too. Impatiently waiting for the next one...
One of the things I like about the series is that the secondary characters, including the series villain, are three-dimensional. Many authors can create a 3-D main character, but their secondary characters are cardboard. Not so many authors have the skill to give depth to sidekicks, as Ashley Gardner does.Suzanne Adair
