I bought the box set rather than the ebooks individually because I always like finding good deals.The first book, Black Diamond Death, was hard for me to get through for some reason. The writing was good, I think I was just drifting off with the story. A woman dies on the ski slopes and it looks like an accident. The woman's sister asks Sloan Monroe to investigate and roads lead to the dead woman's cheating boyfriend. Lots of twists but I figured out pretty early on whodunit.The 2nd novel, Sinnerman was a real page turner. I hated to put the book down. Sloan investigates when women are being killed again by Sinnerman. He last went on a killing spree several years earlier and murdered Sloan's sister. Now that Sinnerman knows Sloan is trying to put him away he leads her on with taunting notes after each murder. This novel also introduces Giovanni, Sloan's mysterious love interest.The 3rd novel, I have a Secret, was also a page turner. Some men that Sloan went to school with are being murdered, specifically stabbed to death, though it was a nice touch stabbing one and throwing him off a cruise ship. When Sloan goes back home to investigate she stirs a 20 year old pot of secrets.Lots of action and fun surprises. Looking forward to reading more Sloan Monroe novels.
