Subject kept me riveted

Started off with a hell of a case
Immediately got my attention
Sad and disturbing but it does exist outside of the story
Enjoyed continuing with my known characters

Excellent!

Catherine continues to not disappoint with her writing and story line. A must to read/listen to.

Excellent Mystery!

A Message in Blood (Chiara Corelli Mystery #3) was a difficult read at times because the subject matter included child sexual abuse and sex trafficking, but it was so well written. There were many intricate pieces that were part of the investigation and the writing evoked such a strong emotional response. It’s a very good book.

Abby Craden also does an excellent job with the narration.

Excellent suspense

A difficult subject but well handled. The suspense lasts to the very end. Excellent narration.

Not bad , but obviously has PC undertones

It’s a decent story . The narrator is good . Subtle digs at The New York Post as an anti police newspaper ( I suppose it’s just part of the fiction )
