Parker.””Sam is an endearing character. Her assessments of some of the people she encounters will make you laugh at her wicked mind. At other times, you’ll cry at the pain she’s suffered.””Sam is the kind of non-assuming heroine that I couldn’t help but love.””Sam’s Song was a wonderful find and a thoroughly engaging read. The first book in the Sam Smith mystery series, this book starts off as a winner!””Sam is an interesting and very believable character.””Gripping and believable at the same time, very well written.””Sam is a great heroine who challenges stereotypes.””Hannah Howe is a fabulous writer.””I can’t wait to read the next in the series!””The Big Chill is light reading, but packs powerful messages.””This series just gets better and better.””What makes this book stand well above the rest of detective thrillers is the attention to the little details that makes everything so real.””Sam is a rounded and very real character.””Howe is an author to watch, able to change the tone from light hearted to more thoughtful, making this an easy and yet very rewarding read. Cracking!””Fabulous book by a fabulous author-I highly recommended this series!””Howe writes her characters with depth and makes them very engaging.””I loved the easy conversational style the author used throughout. Some of the colourful ways that the main character expressed herself actually made me laugh!””I loved Hannah Howe’s writing style — poignant one moment, terrifying the next, funny the next moment. I would be on the edge of my seat praying Sam wouldn’t get hurt, and then she’d say a one-liner or think something funny, and I’d chuckle and catch my breath. Love it!””Sam’s Song is no lightweight suspense book. Howe deals with drugs, spousal abuse, child abuse, and more. While the topics she writes about are heavy, Howe does a fantastic job of giving the reader the brutal truth while showing us there is still good in life and hope for better days to come.”
