Author:
Catherine's
love of reading and dislike of working for a living led her to the
only possible solution -- write fast-paced mysteries that readers
will struggle to put down. Not content to simply produce
page-turners, Catherine strives to leave the reader with more than
who did it to think about. Cellular memory, ancestry, genetic
therapy, and cyberbullying are just some of the topics involved in
the Dark series, as Detective Charlie Cooper and his partner Joe
Quinn solve mysteries and murders in the heart of Sydney.

Appraisal:
I
don’t often read police-procedural-type mysteries, but the premise
of Dark Heart
added a twist that I liked. Namely that Eva Matthews receives a heart
transplant, and the heart came from a serial killer. The concept of
cellular memory was stretched rather a long way, but it did add
flavor to the story. Ms. Lee’s writing style is easy on the eye and
kept the pages turning for me.
This
is the first book in a series (all with Dark in the title), and at
the time of writing this review the novel was free for Kindle. $0.00
is always a good price. If you enjoy well-written mysteries with some
unexpected twists, I’d recommend you pick up a copy of Dark
Heart. It may open you up
to an enjoyable series.
