Assignment Sunrise

I have no idea why the other reviews are about Kate Ryan's book. This is ,in fact ,a review about" Assignment Sunrise " by I Christie. This is about Special Agent Alex Adison. Alex is an undercover agent for a secret government agency. Her job is to blend into the friendly little town of Sunrise and figure out who is involved in a gang that kidnaps women and sells them into the slave trade.Definitely not nice people. Alex is a "lone wolf" type person.Likes to work alone,not big on social interaction.The people in Sunrise like her and suddenly she finds herself surrounded by people who want to spend time with her,get to know her,invite her to lunch,maybe play some cards. She's supposed to blend in so........she reluctantly blends. It takes a while for Alex to figure out who the bad guys are. She eventually gets help from an innocent civilian,the local police and her new found friends, but not without many cuts,bruises and emotional upheaval along the way.

Surprise Hit! Terrific Story - Immensely entertaining. Fabulous humor throughout I was completely engaged with all the characters and loved the story. 36 year old Kate Ryan is a wonderfully endearing character and her love interest 23 year old Maggie is a mystery herself that unfolds as the book progresses. Kate is very human, I enjoyed her mistakes as well as her triumphs. This is a Keeper. Great news! The sequel, 'A Nice Clean Murder', is now available!

Free-lance photographer, Kate Ryan is asked by friends to investigate a series of "incidents" at the home of their friend, Dr. Margaret "Maggie" Winfield. An investigation that Kate hesitates to undertake for reasons that still wound her soul. Nevertheless, she agrees to help only to find that Maggie doesn't want it. Why? Kate knows the town of Cedar Lake holds a mystery. What that mystery is remains to be discovered. However it most assuredly is a mystery that Maggie's aunt Hannah is determined to see unraveled. Her determination to do whatever it takes soon sets all three women on a path of which there may be no return. As luck would have it and just when all seems at a standstill, help arrives in the forms of Kate's sister Teri, who possesses a certain "skill"that may just be the key, and brother-in-law, Mac who join forces with the others. However it soon becomes apparent to all, that despite their best efforts to uncover who is behind everything, the cuplrit is able to remain one-step ahead of them. How? Who would have motive enough to want to cause harm to Maggie and the people she holds dear? And just exactly who is it that is trying to lead Kate to clues, clues which could uncover their identity? Could this same person also be causing the strange behavior of her dog Chance? As the investigation unfolds, Kate and Maggie find they have gone from antagonists to reluctant friends...will love ever follow? If Time, Fate or Mother Earth knows, they certainly don't seem to be telling either of the women. However, there is someone who is definitely interested in the answer to that question - a woman who once had Maggie's love and lost it. New author Kate Sweeney, in her first book of a planned series, certainly captures the reader's interest as she skillfully takes each of her characters on a journey laden with drama, mystery and intrigue. Her second book due out in the coming months, tentatively titled A Nice Clean Murder, is sure to be another dynamic offering to an appreciative audience.

I just finished "She Waits" by Kate Sweeney, and I want to let one and all know what a great book this is. Since my first Nancy Drew at nine years old, I have loved reading and this book is a perfect example of why. The sometimes clumsy but always engaging Kate Ryan is now one of my favorite heroines, transporting me into the midst of her adventures with great humor, leading the pack from somewhere in the middle, and solving other people's problems while doing her best to face her own. The author has surrounded her with family and friends who are so well written you feel as if you've known them all your life. Add the clever plot, complete with twists and surprises and just a hint of romance (which I am eager to see develop in the series), and you have one of the most entertaining books I've read in some time. This first-time out for author Kate Sweeney couldn't be more fun and enjoyable and I expect the rest of the series will be more of the same.

She Waits is one book that I would highly recommend.It is the first book in the Kate Ryan Mystery series. This is a story that is an excellent mystery and also has a bit of supernatural in it. The story deals with ex-private investigator Kate Ryan and how she is helping Dr. Maggie Winfield to find out who is trying to kill her. The story will keep you guessing with fun characters besides Kate and Maggie such as Aunt Hannah , Allison( Maggie's GF) , Kate's sister,her brother-in-law , and an unusual group of relatives, etc. I would rush out and scoop up this book as soon as it becomes available.It is well worth reading. You will enjoy it.
