Review: What a Kick -  You Gotta Read These!!
Rating: 5 out of 5

Loved this set of three stories!  Have been a mystery/thriller reader for sometime, and these books by Gemma Halliday are something else!  She has mastered the "who-dunnit" theme, but also includes as her main character - Maddie.  Maddie is a complex character who could pose for Lucille Ball (apologies to younger readers who may not know that name).  Maddie and her best friend - Dana - could stand alone in an empty football stadium, and get themselves in trouble.  Maddie (who is the "first person" author of the book) continually gives herself a "mental forehead smack" - much the way the reader would do over something stupid.  The plots surprise and never a page without excitement.  I have seen other books by Gemma and will read them.  What a fun read for thrillers added with a large touch of humor.
