Madison Knight
review 1: "An Exciting Novel From Beginning to End"I love the writing style of popular and prolific author Carolyn Arnold. Each novel is so well written and easy to read. This is the second novel in the Madison Knight series. I was drawn into it right from the beginning. Detective Knight of the Stiles PD now is standing over a bloody woman's corpse, trying to fight back the bile rising in her throat. This murder is very gruesome with blood totally surrounding the entire body of Clair Reeves, 43 years old, who lives alone. It's Christmas Eve, and there is no sign of forced entry, and it's obviously a crime of passion. The maid who found the body, Allison Minard, had told her Clair had many sexual partners and that Clair was disliked by many people, herself included. As Madison's inve... morestigation of the crime scene continues, she sends her partner, Terry Grant, home to be with his wife. Maddy is alone this holiday and wished she could have a normal life of loved ones around her. After the body is removed, a white feather lays on the floor, without any blood on it. It just might be an important clue. But as Madison and Terry scramble to solve this crime, Maddy also has to resolve her romantic issues of her personal life. It's like she's carrying a double backpack on her shoulders. Outstanding plot, unique twists and turns, and writing style is superb. This story is very suspenseful and riveting. Highly recommend for crime and mystery fans.
review 2: Justified –Carolyn ArnoldIt’s Christmas Eve and a woman lies dead on her kitchen floor after the brutal attack. Madison Knight and her partner Terry Grant are called in to solve the case. Several suspects loom in the forefront, a jilted ex-husband, so called friends and various former business partners she screwed over in the past. As well as the investigation, Madison has some personal issues to deal with like a new four legged roommate and the question of committing to a more than causal relationship.All these factors make for a great story. A good mix of romance, suspense, and puppy love makes the story a great read. I am thoroughly enjoying the series and cannot wait for the next installment. I give this book five gold paw prints. less

The story was ok, but the book was in desperate need of proofreading and editing.
