Breach of Trust (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 8)Breach of Trust by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars
Breach of Trust is the eighth book in the thrilling Madeline Dawkins series. I love that Cynthia cleverly weaves several plots into a story keeping the readers and characters on their toes. I also love that Cynthia puts something in the story that makes me laugh even in the midst of hell. I cannot stress enough that these books should be read in order to ensure you get the background of the characters.
Breach of Trust is a page turner that will have you invested in what is going on and will have you on the edge of your seat.
Monte Verde is suddenly not the safe and compassionate assisted living complex for the elderly as meets the eye as Madeline Dawkins and the MDPI team find out.
With poison pen letters, dark secrets, blackmail and a lot of resentment can Madeline solve the mystery before things have deadly consequences?
Not only that but helping a woman with her ugly divorce with a nasty estranged husband brings the past out of hiding for Madeline.
As always, I look forward to more.

Three new cases come to the MDPI team on the same morning…

When PI Madeline Dawkins is summoned to Monte Verde―the serene assisted living complex where her father resides―she’s concerned Mack’s ideal setup is about to come to an end. Instead, the facility director enlists MDPI’s help in resolving a very troubling situation.

Someone is sending poison pen letters to the residents at Monte Verde, hinting at dark secrets from their pasts—accusations that have already driven one elderly woman to take her own life.

Back at the office, Jack Waverly, the attorney next door, has a client going through a very nasty divorce. Janelle Marsby’s estranged husband has launched a particularly ugly intimidation offensive designed to wear her down. The tactics Roy’s using to coerce Janelle into giving up her share of their community property assets are ruthless and criminal. Their mission is to keep Janelle safe while they dig up all of Roy’s shady dealings.

Glen Langford enlists Mike’s help in finding his 18 year old daughter who ran off with a cult five months earlier. His own searches led him through five states before his last tip led him to Santa Barbara. His biggest break came from a rancher who took Alison in after he ran the cult off his land, only to learn that she had been physically, sexually and psychologically abused by the leader of the cult.

It’s all hands on deck as the MDPI team tackle all three urgent cases, racing against time.

Other People's Money (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 7)Other People’s Money by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read several of The Madeline Dawkins Series a couple of years ago. Through the books, Madeline’s character grew from a trophy wife to a private investigator. This all came about due to Madeline’s ex-husband embezzling money through a Ponzi scheme.

Since starting the private investigation business with her friend and now husband Mike, they have proved themselves to be good investigators that complete jobs and also assists the police. In this book, Madeline and Mike are working on solving three different cases that bring them work but stress too.

I really missed reading the series. I love Madeline and Mike’s personalities and how they work together. The author does a wonderful job of creating the atmosphere and locations the PI business takes them to. I look forward to catching up on reading the books in this series that I missed.

Other people’s money is book 7 in the Madeline Dawkins series. Although i have not read any of the other books in this series I still really enjoyed this read. Othe people’s money is captivating right from the begging of the book. This read is not usually my cup of tea but this author sucks you in with Maddie and her people solving cases. Lots of twists and surprises in this book and just keeps you entangled in this book. I honestly look forward to read more books by this Author and I will have to go back and read the other books in this series although you can follow along without reading the other books, I highly suggest that you start from the beginning you won’t regret it :). Thank you to wonderful Author for writing this wonderful read.

Other People’s Money is wonderful well-written, suspenseful mystery, with interesting characters. While this book is part of a series; it reads well as a stand alone novel. Maddie and Mike, two private investigators are working on three investigations. Each case, reveals something peculiar and creates tension; which made reading this novel great.
There were a few times where I thought I had figured out the ending; I was kept guessing until the end-which did not disappoint!

This book is another fantastic addition to this series, full of plot twists at every turn. I always find it so easy to get back into one of these books, connecting with the characters again straight away. I always enjoy how interesting these stories are. Usually this far into a series it starts to lose steam but the author has done a great job of keeping up the momentum.
This book is exciting to read. I found myself trying to put the pieces together and yet the author does so well to keep you guessing. I am still really enjoying this series and I cannot wait for whatever the author produces next.

4.5 Stars

 

Other People’s Money is the seventh book in The Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. Oh boy- Madeline and crew have their work cut out for them solving this slew of new cases. From embezzlement to unearthing a Gold Digger, every clue they uncover leads to more questions, complications, tangled web of secrets, manipulation, scams and cons, in the grab for other people’s money. But nothing is as it appears to be and the team seem to hit block after block- so will they ever manage to uncover the truth and finally close their cases- or will this be the time that Madeline and team get outplayed by the bad guys? Add in some tension, adventure, drama, mystery, suspense, doubts, and interconnected details- and things take quite an intriguing turn.
This book could be read as a standalone- but I highly recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one, as even though each book is a self-contained mystery/adventure, and each delivers its own fantastic read- all combined, they help to build detail, character information and development, and impart other important and intriguing information that creates a bigger picture, which, in turn, will enhance your overall reading experience. So, trust me, it is definitely worth starting this series at the beginning!
Cynthia Hamilton is one of my favourite authors, and Madeline Dawkins is one of my ‘must read- no questions asked’ series that I have loved since devouring book one. I doubt if I will ever tire of her adventures, so I hope there are many more to come.
Looking forward to diving into Breach of Trust (Book #8)!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Cynthia Hamilton!

Other People’s Money is the seventh book in the Madeline Dawkins series. This can be read as a standalone book but is much more enjoyed if read after the preceding books in the series. Madeline is on the case again with her husband, Mike, and associate Samir. What starts as one case quickly grows to three in this book. Are the cases related, or do they have a common thread of “Other People’s Money”? I always enjoy the build-up of suspense in this author’s books, and this one didn’t disappoint. Madeline and her team work well together and always figure out the case, but I enjoy the journey. The cases in this book were intriguing and kept me questioning who was at the bottom of everything. I look forward to grabbing the next book in the series soon.

Mike and Madeline Dawkins are faced with a new case to solve. As they begin to investigate the case of the missing bookkeeper who’s also embezzled money, other cases start to land in their laps too. Jane is concerned for the business she and her husband run when their bookkeeper and tenant has disappeared over the weekend. She was last seen with a man driving a black Range Rover.

George and Daphne are ready to go get hitched but George’s son has an inkling that Daphne may not be on the up and up. She is, after all, thirty years younger than George. Mike and Madeline are hired, along with their team, to investigate who Daphne really is and try to prevent this union from taking place.

Stacey has insider information when her company is about to go public and she begins shorting her shares of the company. Then she disappears. It seems she may have more than one love interest so could one of them be the culprit?

With all these cases going on at once, Mike approaches Madeline to see if they might want to employ more help in their PI business. As if Madeline needed anyone stress in her life…or could this be a help to them?

This is book 7 in a series that is new to me. I have not read the previous six books but I thoroughly enjoyed this one enough that I will be seeking out the previous books. I felt like this was able to be read as a standalone even though this is part of a series. I enjoyed the writing style of Cynthia Hamilton and how she weaved together multiple cases and tied them all up in the end with a bit of a twist. Several times I thought I had figured out the case but I was wrong!

This is a series that keeps getting better and better with every book added to it. I highly suggest reading the other books in this series to help your enhancement of this series as well as this author’s writing style. Madeline is back with another suspenseful investigation and one you don’t want to miss. I found this book to be fast paced and engaging. A hard to put down story that has twists and turns that had me turning pages fast. I enjoyed how the characters pulled me into the story from the start. Madeline is a great, strong character that has been my favorite of this series. She finds herself into some suspenseful investigations and this one is no different. She is on the search for a missing bookkeeper plus a search into a woman who may not be who she seems. There is alot going on in this story but the author did a great job of transitioning between the two. I really enjoyed watching the growth in this book and enjoyed what the characters added to the story. I highly recommend this book.

When I saw Other People’s Money by Cynthia was out, I jumped on it because I love this series. Madeline and her adventures always make me laugh in one way or another and my heart pounding and kept me on the edge of my seat. It has been a while since I have read one of her works. This is the seventh thrilling book in the Madeline Dawkins mystery series. Make sure to read these books in order because then you get all the background of the characters and their backstory. Trust me you will love them as well.
Madeline and Mike and their PI agency find themselves embroiled in a trio of cases that intertwine with each other. Three seemingly unrelated cases are suddenly much more than they first seemed. Of course, things never run smoothly when Madeline is involved.
Money always brings out the worst in people and especially when it is not yours. Embezzlement, gold-diggers, a missing bookkeeper, a mystery woman are just some of what you work to untangle along with Madeline and Mike.
While Madeline and her team search for the missing bookkeeper and try to get the skinny on the possible gold-digger, startling connections begin to appear that will leave you following the trail of other people’s money until the very last page.
Other People’s Money is full of secrets and lies, suspense and danger and so much more.
You are gonna love it.

Madeline, Mike and Samir are back. I found this to be quite the intriguing suspense thriller. I loved the cases in this story. The fact that they all end up somehow related makes for such a complex and complicated story. The way it kicks off with the appearance of her ex in Switzerland is fantastic and a heck of way to just srt with a bang. Here I am, let’s jump right into the story… I found the characters to be flat out, well written. Her former friend popping up, and looking sneaky, just gave it right away. Some clues are within the writing and I love that. The details are in the story. The reading grabs a hold and won’t let you go. I find that the flow is very smooth and just flows well. You go from case to case. A terrific suspense read.

Embezzlement and gold-digging hit close to home when two friends from Madeline’s past seek her help with delicate personal matters that could have lasting repercussions.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Madeline and her husband Mike own and run the MDPI as well as a party-planning company called Current Events. Madeline and Mike attend an event at the home of Troy and Tara Richardson for their fifth wedding anniversary. After escaping from the party early, the couple gets a call from their former rival in the PI business, Russell Barnett. Russell asks them to take the lead in finding his nephew, Dylan, who has been missing for six days. After a short night of sleep, Madeline receives a phone call from Troy Richardson. His wife, Tara, has disappeared, and he wants them to help him find her.

There are 3 people that need to be found, Dylan and his girlfriend, Paige, and Tara Richardson. Trying to put the puzzle pieces together for both of these cases can really stress a couple out. It is not easy to handle one missing person’s case, but two at the same time is near impossible. Madeline’s curious attitude has her frantically trying to make sense of the disappearance of Dylan and his girlfriend while trying to bring her client’s wife home safely.

Cynthia Hamilton does it again in Houses of Deception (The Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series Book 6). How I love Madeline and Mike. The rapport they have between them is unique and endearing. The romance in these mysteries is always low key but it’s always there, and in excellent taste. Two mysteries in one in this excellent read. I must confess I had one of them about half figured out but couldn’t quite get there with the other one. A great mystery and well worth your time.

Houses of Deception is the sixth book in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. This book is the best book in this series, so far. I would highly recommend you read this series in order. Although, each book is a complete story and can be a standalone, you will get the full backstory if you read the series from the beginning. This book is both thrilling and suspenseful, as the rest of the books in the series Ms. Hamilton keeps you guessing right until the end. Madeline and Mike are on the case, well two cases, and they are finding that neither case is as it first seemed. The twists and turns had me up late into the night trying to figure out the mysteries of the cases. Ms. Hamilton has such a brilliant way of keeping you guessing right until the end. I highly recommend this book, series and author.

Lies, deception, fraud, treachery…Oh, what a web has been created around two cases that Madeline and Mike are working. One lies around kidnapping and one lies around missing persons. The suspense is set up in such a way that it goes back and forth between cases: yet, intertwined so well that it just meshes like it’s a river. The white boards used to plot out cases. They end up working out cases but they also have law enforcement at their six. The characters are such that you just end up trying to figure out why they did what they did. All the characters end up just meshing together. Their personalities are like a piece of the puzzle and they each have a spot to fill. Running a catering company and a private investigation firm together seemed difficult but Madeline and Mike made it work with the help of Lauren and Samir. This was a fantastic mystery. Highly recommend.

Mike and Madeline are Private Investigators that have five other books. They are looking into a couple of cases in this book. I feel like I should go back and read the other books to understand all the references to the past. One of the current cases has a tie back to the past. The story is well written and the characters are believable. I will have to say the only down side to this book for me was that I had it figured out early in the book so it was a little hard to finish reading the book. I do like series but for this one I need to start at the beginning to get the full effect I think.

When I started this book I didn’t realize it was the 6th in the series. When I realized it was I kept reading anyway because the author explained everything in a way that I could understand the story line even though I hadn’t read the other 5. I still LOVED this book. It is a mystery thriller that had me turning each page in anticipation to find out what happened to the missing and why. I cannot wait to go back and read the other 5 books because Cynthia Hamilton’s writing is phenomenal. She drew me into Madeline and Mike’s world and it felt like I was right there with them trying to solve the mystery. I can’t wait to go back to read the other’s.

Another mystery for Madeline Dawkins to solve! Another mystery from Cynthia Hamilton that you must read.

Mysteries aren’t my go-to stories but Cynthia Hamilton is my go-to author when I want a great mystery.

Madeline has grown so much since her first adventure in book one. Reading about her in each story has been exciting and fun. And book 6 is just as good. Her husband Mike is the perfect match to her personality. I love the way they work together and complete each other.

This series needs to be read in order. Each book is an easy but exciting read. I look forward to the next adventure for Madeline and Mike.

Houses of Deception (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 6)Houses of Deception by Cynthia Hamilton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I get so incredibly excited when I see a new Madeline Dawkins mystery is coming from Cynthia Hamilton and this one was no exception! Houses of Deception is the sixth book in The Madeline Dawkins Series and as much as I say this every time, it is my absolute favorite yet! I have just completely fallen in love with this series and the characters that have become like family as I have followed them through each and every mystery they have tackled as well. I personally would say you will want to start at the beginning and get to know the characters and understand the way the team works with the first book and go from there if you have not yet. I am sure you could read them as standalones if you so chose though. The attention to detail and world building that Ms. Hamilton puts into her writing is phenomenal and really makes the reading experience a breeze. I won’t give away much more than the blurb about the mystery that Madeline finds herself in the middle of in this read but I can assure you it is one you do not want to miss! I can’t wait to see what we will get next from the super talented Ms. Hamilton!
