My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo, this is the last book in the series. Swindler’s Revenge by Ellen Butler is another superb story. Karina Cardinal and the gang are back, and I just love them. Although they are standalone stories make sure you start at the being and fully immerse yourself in all things Karina Cardinal. This series just gets better and better with each book. This unpredictable thrilling ride will have you laughing out loud and holding your breath at the same time. Ellen is the master of mystery, and this series is just proof of that. You never know where the story will go and what is going to happen next.
As is her style Karina finds herself in trouble whether she means to or not. However, in this case things go from bad to worse as she tries to solve the mystery of why her ex is being framed for a crime, she knows he would not have committed.
As always, a brilliant tale. Keep them coming.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Swindler’s Revenge by Ellen Butler is the fifth book in the Karina Cardinal Mysteries series. This is a fantastic series that just keeps on getting better. I think this book has to be my favourite of the series so far. It is exciting and full of twists and turns all the way through. I always find it so easier to fall back into the main character and her story. This one is fast paced and really pulls you in. The author knows exactly how to keep you engaged and has really created a book that you cannot put down.
Although I would recommend reading this series in order you can read this book as a standalone. However it is definitely worth your time to read all of the books. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading the next.

I was pulled right in as soon as I started.
Karina’s Saturday morning is interrupted when the FBI knocks on her door. She is shocked to hear they are looking for her ex. Loved Karina and her sassiness no matter who she was talking to while they searched her home.

Knowing how straight laced her ex is she doesn’t believe what they were telling her. She needs to find him before they do to help him find the truth behind what is going on.

Will Karina be able to help Mike clear his name? How far is she willing to go?

Overall this was a thrilling page turning read. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what came next. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. 1-click and get started today.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Swindler’s Revenge is the fifth book in Ellen Butler’s exciting Karina Cardinal Mystery series. Kariba has a knack for getting caught up in a variety of complicated and dangerous cases. Fortunately, by this stage in the series, she’s well-versed in legal procedures and self-defence, and has friends she knows she can turn to. Not that that means she’s in any less danger…

In Swindler’s Revenge, Karina’s ex Mike has been accused of acquiring over a million dollars by some nefarious means. Having parted on (reasonably) good terms, and unconvinced that Mike is guilty, Karina chooses to help Mike evade the FBI until she can work out what really happened.

It’s a real page turner, full of plenty of details and clues to keep the reader engaged. There are some great characters – I have a bit of a soft spot for Rodrigo, who’s always got Karina’s back and who is as (if not more) observant as the trained people at the FBI and Silverthorne.

I’d recommend reading this series from the start, although you can absolutely jump in here if this book particularly appeals to you. Karina develops as a character over the course of the series so it’s good to see that unfolding.

This book gets five stars from me, a great addition to the series! It’s a must-read for anyone who likes snuggling up with a good mystery.

Swindler’s Revenge – Ellen Butler

4-stars

This is the 5th book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series, a series that I believe should be read in order as each new book sort of follows the last with the same main characters. Just like the other books of the series I was able to read this book in one sitting as I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading.

I loved the funny banter between the characters, the mystery and trying to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together. I have enjoyed each book of the series but this one has been my favorite so far. If you are looking for an entertaining, funny, light hearted mystery look no further this is the book for you!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet. One of the things I most enjoy about this author and her books is the fact that they are well written and her use of details make her stories realistic. I enjoyed being pulled into this story by the suspense and the great characters. I found them to be connectable and they made the story engaging. This is a fast paced story about a hunt for a fugitive who just happens to be someone you know and what happens if you leap before you look. Karina is back in another crime stopper story. This time the hunt has to do with Mike which she hasn’t seen since their split. Before she realizes it, she jumps in with both feet and ignores the dangers. But will the dangers ignore her? How deep will she find herself? She is such a great character and what she brings to the story just keeps me coming back. I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend seeing what happens to Karina in her next crime mystery. You don’t want to miss it.

Swindler’s Revenge (Karina Cardinal Mysteries Book 5) by Ellen Butler
Genre – Mystery/Thriller/Suspense
Page Count – 266 pages
Cover Designer – Power to the Pen
Karina Cardinal’s Saturday starts out with a bang, and it’s not the home renovation marathon she’s watching on HGTV. It’s the FBI banging on her door, hunting for a fugitive. As if she could easily hide one in her modest condo. Especially one named Mike Finnegan.
The two of them called it splitsville a couple months ago, but Mike? Take a $1.2 million bribe? No and no and no. No matter how much damning evidence the feds claim to have.
When a mysterious burner phone shows up in her pocket, Karina has no doubt who dropped it there. Mike is deep undercover and so far off-grid, he needs help to figure out who’s framing him—and why.
Classic Karina, she jumps in with both feet, ignoring the dangers. The trouble with leaping before you look? You can land in a world of dirt. And when an old enemy starts playing hardball, you can end up six feet under it.

I absolutely love this series and was really looking forward to reading something featuring Karina set somewhere outside Washington DC, and this absolutely lived up to my expectations! There’s plenty of action and danger as always, and when Karina makes mistakes and impulsive decisions, her friends are always there to help her pick up the pieces. I couldn’t put it down as usual and there are lots of details that add to the story. Can’t wait for the next book!

Four Stars

Pharaoh’s Forgery is the fourth book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series by Ellen Butler. This series keeps getting better and better. This book can be read as a standalone, but I would recommend you read the whole series in order to get the complete backstory. This book is full of page turning twists and turns. The action and adventure had me reading long into the night to find out what would happen next. Karina is on vacation and the mystery begins. Her sleuthing skills are getting better with each mystery. If you like a good Mystery , this is a great pick for you.

Pharaoh’s Forgery (Karina Cardinal Mysteries Book 4) by Ellen Butler is such a lighthearted little mystery tale. I love these books featuring Karina Cardinal. She truly is a woman that trouble seeks. It is witty, sarcastic and sounds so much like plain ordinary people, except for the Silverthorne folk of course. This was a quick and easy read for me because I just enjoyed it so much. And when I thought it was over there were still surprises at the end. You can’t go wrong with this one.

I give Pharaoh’s Forgery: Karina Goes on Vacation (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 4) by Ellen Butler, 5 stars.

I always forget just how good this series is until I start the next book and find myself unable to put it down. This book is no exception. I was pulled in from the very beginning. I like how they moved the location to another country. The change in setting was refreshing while still maintaining everything this series is know for. I liked how it was not all about DC and politics, now revolves around ancient relics. There is still a lot of adventure and twists and turns in the story, it is both thrilling and gripping.

Then there are the characters. Karina is great as always. She feels real, not always making the most popular decisions, but ones she feels strongly about. I like how we got to know more about her neighbor, Mrs. Thundermuffin. I could tell from previous books that she was definitely an interesting character and I was so great that the author told us so much more about her in this book. I also like how Rodrigo was more of a main character in this book too. Again, he seemed like an interesting character previously, but I had no idea just what he was made of. This book shows us.

If you like a thrilling mystery suspense with great characters and a gripping story, this book and series are for you. In my opinion, this can be read as a standalone, but I suggest reading all of them since they are so good.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pharaoh’s Forgery is the fourth book in Ellen Butler’s Karina Cardinal Mystery series and we are going on a short girls’ holiday to Mexico with Karina … or so we think! It is always a pleasure to meet up with Karina and her kooky circle of friends and the enemies, the enemies tend to take the cake, every time!
Karina is going to Cancun for some sun and margaritas while also dropping off a package to Mrs Thundermuffin and you can guess what she does … Karina opens the Pandora Box and off we go onto a crazy ride with kidnappers and murderers and conmen. It is really good that Karina has friends in right places as she really needs some help to get herself and her fellow lobbyist Rodrigo back home in one piece! I loved how the writer had used her extensive research into the Brazilian National Museum fire to bring alive the story so that we were biting our nails at times and probably praying to ourselves ‘please, please, please …’

Pharaoh’s Forgery: Karina Goes on Vacation (Karina Cardinal Mystery #4) by Ellen Butler

Butler has this way of making you love her books. This is part of the Karina Cardinal Mystery Series and damn if it’s not a good one. You will want to read this even if you haven’t read the first 3.

Karina, K.C. as Mike calls her finds that she may be going on vacation alone. Her sister is down, her mom is taking care of Jill, and her boyfriend is working. Once on vacation she finds herself in trouble. The quote I chose for Karina is: “Not a word. Not a f***ing word.”

Mike, FBI Agent, has to work and feels bad about Karina going alone. He surprises her, but instead he’s the one who gets the surprise. He doesn’t like that she finds herself in trouble. The quote I chose for Mike is: “It’s Tuesday. Are you going to take Rick up on his offer?”

Highly recommended if you love crime, drama and romance.

Pharoah’s Forgery: Karina Goes on Vacation by Ellen Butler is the fourth book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although you might find it helpful to read the previous books first as it follows the same character throughout.
This book is yet another brilliant addition to this great series. It is always so good to get back into these characters and the adventures that seem to follow them everywhere. The story in this one is exciting and full of intrigued, just like I have come to expect.
The author is doing a brilliant job is creating a series that is not only lasting but still just as exciting this many books in. Each book just seems to get better. This is a great book and the whole series is one I would recommend!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pharaoh’s Forgery is the fourth book in Ellen Butler’s Karina Cardinal Mystery series. Like in the previous books, the plot is driven by Karina’s impressive ability to get wrapped up in dangerous, mysterious crimes. Pharaoh’s Forgery combines exotic holiday (to Mexico, not Egypt as the title might suggest) with the theft and forgery of historical artefacts.
In this book, Karina draws on her growing network of friends and useful contacts to help her out with the trouble she inevitably finds herself in. I particularly enjoyed getting to spend some more time with Rodrigo, Karina’s charismatic co-worker, and Mrs Thundermuffin, her eccentric neighbour. It was fun having characters who feel like old friends around, and to learn more about them.
This is a great read for anyone missing going on holiday and exploring museums (and I imagine will be an enjoyable holiday read when we can travel again!). Butler does a good job of describing the places Karina visits, and we get plenty of time to enjoy the hotel (and the food! I was hungry just reading it!).
For me, this is a five-star read. It’s a really good series and I’m enjoying seeing Karina grow and develop as she gets used to the trouble that seems to follow her around and learns how to protect herself. It’s worth starting at the beginning, with Isabella’s Painting, to get to know Karina and meet some of the supporting characters.

Pharaoh’s Forgery by Ellen Butler is the fourth book in the Karina Cardinal Mystery Book series. I recommend reading the books in order because of development to the characters and relationships, but this can be enjoyed as a standalone book. Karina is finally getting a well-deserved vacation away from D.C. Of course, as usual things don’t go as planned for Karina. This story has crime, thrills, mystery, laughs, and more. I always enjoy Karina’s adventures and her partners in getting her out of trouble and solving the case. Karina is smart, full of adventure, but also conscientious and not a detective. Trouble just seems to find her in the unlikeliest of places. I look forward to reading more in Karina’s mysteries in the future and more from this author.

Pharaoh’s Forgery is the fourth book in The Karina Cardinal Mysteries Series by Ellen Butler . I must say this is by far my favorite of this series. It’s a gripping mystery with twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Karina Cardinal is on her way to Cancun for a much needed vacation while there drop off a package. But what happens when the drop off doesn’t go as planned? I literally read this in one sitting I couldn’t put it down till I finished. I had to know how everything was going to play out. I highly recommend reading this book and if you haven’t already read the first three books I recommend reading them as well. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

I love finding out what kind of predicament Karina is going to find herself in and I was given what I wanted in this story. This book can be read as a standalone but all of the books in this series are 5 star reads, so it is my suggestion that you read them all. There are always great characters in each book and this one had some of the characters from other books and we also got to meet new ones. This was a quick read for me because I couldn’t put it down until I found out what happens. I highly recommend this book. This author always does an exceptional job weaving a wonderful story full of unexpected twists and turns.

Pharoah’s Forgery: Karina Goes on Vacation by Ellen Butler is book four of the Karina Cardinal Mystery series. You should definitely read this series in order because Karina finds herself on some pretty epic adventures and you wouldn’t want to miss any of it!

Karina has been in quite a few jams as Michael would say so a girls trip is a no brainer. Of course, Karina should have expected that it wouldn’t be that easy because of course she finds herself in another pickle. This book as well as the others in the series, do a great job of keeping you on your toes. You’re always wondering what happens next! I don’t want to give too much away about Karina’s newest mystery so I’ll just say, you always wonder what’s going to happen next!

The author does a great job of keeping you intrigued. You just have to know what going to happen next! I definitely recommend this book!

I loved this story. It has adventure, mystery and just goes to show no one is who you think they are. This is the fourth book in the Katrina Cardinal series. It is a great story that keeps you gripped from beginning to end.

In this book we find Katrina going on a holiday to rest and recover. However when her neighbour asks her to bring a package for her to Mexico, Katrina’s peaceful holiday gets turned upside down.

With forgery, a ancient relic and a kidnapping can Katrina  solve this case and what is so appealing about the ancient relic that means someone is prepared to commit a crime for it.

I can’t even find words to describe how much I love this series. Not sure if it’s the characters and how they’re written, or their dialogue, or the storylines, or the fact I cant put the books down while I’m reading them. Even the drama and the edge of your seat danger has me completely hooked. I love Karina and have always said I want to be her friend and her sidekick in how she just falls into stuff and how she maneuvers her way through it all. Also, who knew Mrs Thundermuffin had so much more to her? I just loved this book so so much and it was a perfect addition to a favorite series from a favorite author. I seriously can not wait for a cold winter day to sit and read all these over again.

I just know this can’t be the end of this series, too many things left unanswered…Silverthorne Security being just one. I love these guys and how they “handle” Karina, this always makes me smile and a lot of time laugh out loud. Then there’s Mike…. I love Rodrigo, and his friendship with Karina is one of my favorite parts of these stories.

I truly just don’t know what to say except pick this series up..each I suppose could be read as a standalone but trust me when I say don’t do that… There’s history to these characters you absolutely don’t want to miss.

I LOVED IT and can not wait for more!!

Pharaoh’s Forgery (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 4) by Ellen Butler was a good 4 star read.

Karina is going on a holiday to Mexico, for some much needed fun in the sun. When there is a small change due to her sister’s injury, Rodrigo agrees to go in her place. Karina also agrees to take a package to Mexico. When she worries there is something illegal going on, she takes a look in the box. The item in the box attracts danger and so much more.

Can Karina and Rodrigo escape danger and find someone to help them get home?

Overall this was an edge of your seat read, waiting to see what was going to happen next. We get drama, suspense, danger and so much more. There are twists and turns. All of the characters added a great element to the story. The author does a great job of pulling you in with her writing. 1-click and get started today.

I felt as though I was right there in the midst of the action. I felt as though I was right alongside Karina the whole time.

Karina can’t even have a peaceful vacation as drama follows her. I really like how the author is able to bring the characters to life and the book is well balanced with drama and intrigue. I definitely will be reading more from this author in the future.

Pharaoh’s Forgery: Karina Goes on Vacation (Karina Cardinal Mystery Book 4) by Ellen Butler is another superb suspense/mystery and a wonderful addition to this series. I can’t get enough of Karina and the situations she inadvertently finds herself in (reminds me of myself). In typical Karina fashion a simple fun and relaxing holiday turns out to be anything but and she soon finds frenemies coming out the woodwork. Humour, great locations, great characters and lots of suspense make for an unpredictable and thrilling ride.

Butler continues to up the ante with each Karina Cardinal mystery. And I believe this has been my favorite to date. Slammed full of intrigue and mystery, I simply couldn’t put this book done until I finished the last page. I love the way Butler develops each story and the detail each book contains. Each work is complete and can stand on its own easily. However for the character development and certain histories, you best appreciate the storyline when taken in series total. Loved this book and seriously hope another will be in my hands soon!

This series gets better with every story. This is not my first book and it will not be my last book. This book is a fast pace adventure. There are twists and turns around every page turned. It is well written and the plotline is an adventure. Karina finds herself going to Mexico to drop off a package. It was supposed to be a vacation, but it turns into chaos. Karina always has mishaps with the plans she lays down. This book brings in some Egyptian history, which makes this package even more interesting. You will have to read to see what happens to Karina in this adventure as she always has with everything she does.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Pharaoh’s Forgery is book four in author Ellen Butler’s ‘Karina Cardinal Mysteries’ and this series just gets better and better. Our independently minded feisty heroine Karina Cardinal is having a short girls only holiday to Mexico to recover from her latest adventures. However when sister Jillian’s injury means she cannot travel, the trip looks like a no go until friend Rodrigo volunteers to go in Jillian’s place. Whilst boyfriend Mike Finnegan is working, Karina heads off to Cancun with fellow lobbyist Rodrigo. The pair look forward to some sun, sea, sand and plenty of margaritas. Having promised to handover a package to Mrs. Thundermuffin in Mexico, Karina then worries about what is inside the package especially as Mrs T, herself is being evasive. Concerned she may be carrying something illegal she takes a look to discover it’s an Egyptian death mask. Unluckily for Karina and Rodrigo the mask proves to be valuable and so attracts the attention of crooks, conmen, kidnappers, and murderers. With Karina’s life in danger, yet again, her and Rodrigo need friends in the right places to help them out of this situation and help them return home safely.
I love this series of books, as each story has mystery, drama and suspense and this novel was no different, the plot had plenty of action to keep me happily turning the pages and enough twists to keep me guessing until the end. I was hooked from page one and as usual was completely immersed in Karina’s adventures. Karina is a great lead character who brings the story together but the other characters, such as Mike and Rodrigo, are also fascinating in their own right and add to the overall storyline. I look forward to future Karina Cardinal novels.
