READ THE BLURB
Books 1-3, The
complete Series Box Set (Value Pack)
The
Sydney Rye series of mysteries features a strong female protagonist and her
rescue dog, Blue. This series is recommended for the 18+ who enjoy some
violence, don't mind dirty language, and are up for a dash of sex. Not to
mention an awesome, rollicking good mystery!
This
box set includes all three of the Sydney Rye Books.
UNLEASHED (A Sydney
Rye Novel, #1)
When
the series begins Sydney Rye is named Joy Humbolt. She does not like people
telling her what to do, so it comes as no surprise that she was just fired from
her last job. When she buys Charlene Miller's dog-walking business on
Manhattan's exclusive upper east side, it seems like the perfect fit: Quiet
environment, minimal contact with people.
But
then one of her clients turns up dead, and Charlene disappears. Rumors say
Charlene was having an affair with the victim--and of course, everyone assumes
Joy must know where she is. Joy begins to look into the crime, first out of
curiosity then out of anger when there is another murder and threats start to
come her way.
When
police detective Mulberry is assigned to the case, Joy finds a kindred
spirit--cynical and none-too-fond of the human race. As they dig deep into the
secrets of Manhattan's elite, they not only get closer to the killer but also
to a point of no return. One last murder sends Joy Humbolt hurtling over the
edge. Her only chance of survival is to become Sydney Rye.
DEATH IN THE DARK (A
Sydney Rye Novella, #2)
At
the beginning of Death in the Dark we find Joy Humbolt hiding, not only from
the law, but also from her past and the mistakes she's made. Living this
isolated life doesn't last long though when a visit from Mulberry brings Joy to
accept her new identity as the Private Detective, Sydney Rye. To complete the
transformation, Joy must learn to control her emotions as well as her giant
aggressive dog, Blue. With the help of an expert trainer, Joy learns to fight
with her mind as well as her body. However, when the daughter of a close friend
is brutally murdered in the desert, Rye turns away from her mentor to seek
revenge. Sydney's quick temper and deadly intentions lead her into a trap that
she will need all of her new skills to survive.
INSATIABLE (A Sydney
Rye Novel, #3)
The
third book in the series begins with private detective Sydney Rye living a
simple, disciplined life in London, but when a dangerous man from her past
calls, Rye finds she cannot turn him away. Robert Maxim explains that the
daughter of a powerful friend has gone missing and he wants Rye to find her. In
exchange he offers her something she had given up hope of ever having; freedom
from her past.
With
her dog, Blue, at her side, Rye meets up with her new partner, a handsome man
she's not sure she can trust. Heading for Mexico City, they go undercover,
posing as husband and wife. After meeting with the bereaved parents, Rye starts
to sense that there is more going on than just a missing girl. But it isn't
until they arrive in the Yucatan Peninsula, hot on the girl's trail in
Paradise, that all hell breaks loose. Sydney has to reach out for help from old
friends and deal with the consequences of her past, if she's going to find the
girl and keep them all alive.
READ THE REVIEW
After reading the first book of this series, all I can say is...wow! Joy Humbolt has a knack for getting into trouble it seems--but she also has a knack at getting out of it. She breaks up with her boyfriend and gets fired from her job, all on the same day. So, what to do? Go and get a dog, of course. And that turns out to be one of the smartest moves she makes.
Because she now owns a dog and takes him for walks, she's qualified to buy a dog-walking business--and she discovers a dead body, a talent for finding trouble, and a desire to get to the bottom of things.
Ms. Kimelman has a knack for pulling the reader into the action --I was so involved with the people that when the first book was over, I flipped right over to the next book in the series (gotta love my ereader... I didn't even have to put a book down to pick up the next in the series.) I can't wait to read the rest of them.
Thanks, Ms. Kimelman, and I hope there are more books to come in this series.
