Why read it?

1 author picked Clean Break as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Although I love a good murder story, I also enjoy fiction about other sorts of crime.

In this book, Manchester-based private investigator Kate Brannigan has two cases to solve: a series of art thefts and a case of industrial sabotage that leads to two murders that seem at first glance to be unconnected. Kate is determined to solve the case, even if it involves using unorthodox methods to do so. 

I love her range of skills, from Thai boxing to going undercover to staking out a suspect. I find Kate a very likable character: funny, sarcastic, conflicted about her love…

From Kim's list on feisty female crime fighters.
