In Black Diamond Death  the police are quick to call it an accident when a woman is killed on one of Utah's ski slopes.  PI Sloane Monroe is hired by the woman's sister to look into it, insisting it was murder and Charlotte, the deceased woman's jilted lover is who she is pointing her finger at.Charlotte was an impressive skier and a successful real estate agent.  To avoid ruining the story for you, I won't say more.While this wasn't a page-turner, it had an interesting twist.  It didn't fail to hold my interest.3.5 stars - 4________________________________________________Sinnerman is book 2 in the Sloane Monroe series.Sloane - female private eye is smarter than FBI agents.  Ya, that could happen.  She's warranted her own goofball guards to be with her 24/7 while a serial killer is on the loose. This one stretches the imagination - not that these things couldn't happen but, ya know... Lone Sloane is almost able to leap tall buildings - well, almost.Sinnerman has returned to resume his serial killings and has Sloane in his sights.This wasn't as good as the first in the series but still not bad.3 Stars_________________________________________________I Have A Secret  is book 3.Oh what a tangled web we weave...Sloane is on a class reunion cruise and discovers a murder has taken place. One of her former classmates was killed and thrown overboard.  She's back in her hometown where she uncovers one secret after another while former classmates continue to die.This one was probably the page-turner of the three in this series.  The reader wants to know the "big" secret.  I still wasn't crazy about her personal guards protecting her, coming to her rescue time and again.  It gives us this independent woman who really isn't all that independent.Still...4 stars...I have to round this baby off so 4 stars
