The Patience of Karma is the fifth book in The Madeline Dawkins Series by Cynthia Hamilton. This is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked all the way to the end. I absolutely love the characters of Madeline Dawkins and Mike Delaney, each book they get more intriguing. Like the other books they are thrown into multiple cases that keep them busy but ensures the book stays interesting. You won’t be disappointed in reading this book.

The Patience of Karma (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 5) by Cynthia Hamilton

Madeline and Mike are back and the adventure is never ending with these two.  They are working two cases again with one being a missing persons case.

From the beginning to the end they are always thinking and trying to figure out not only what happened,  but what the possibilities are for a few steps in advance.

I have read the entire series and each time Ms. Hamilton impresses me with her story and just how thought out it is as well as how well it’s written.

I cannot wait to see the next case or cases Madeline and Mike get.

4 out of 5 stars

First of all, a bit off topic but I LOVE the title and the cover art of this book… I’ve become a big fan of Cynthia Hamilton’s writing so I have followed along with the Madeline Dawkins series since the very first book. That being said, The Patience of Karma can be read as a standalone book!
I’ve come to enjoy this series so much because Madeline is a great main character that I find more enjoyable as the series progresses. Cynthia Hamilton has a way of providing the reader with an action packed storyline without making the plot obnoxious or unbelievable. I enjoyed The Patience of Karma from start to finish and as always, look forward to more from this author.

The Patience of Karma is the fifth book in the A Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series by Cynthia Hamilton. Just when I thought this series couldn’t get any better then I read this book and it becomes my favorite . I’ve truly enjoyed this whole series and highly recommend reading the first four books if you haven’t already . I found myself on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Madeline and Mike are back with two mysteries to solve and Mike comes to face his past and some choices he made. We have a missing person case and a husband who believes his wife is cheating . Follow along with Mike an Madeline as they work on solving their cases. Will the solve both ? What happens when Mikes past catches up to him? I highly recommend reading not only this book but the whole series. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book.

The Patience Of Karma is the fifth book in The Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. This is definitely my new favorite by Ms. Hamilton. I was hooked from the very first page, and I couldn’t put it down until I finished. The characters have grown since the first book in this series. Madeline and Mike are on to some new cases, mystery and mayhem abound. This book can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend you read this series in order. You won’t be disappointed.

The Patience of Karma is the fifth book in Cynthia Hamilton’s Madeline Dawkins’ series and like every other book in the series it can be read as a standalone. My suggestion though is to read the series in the order as you will learn more about Madeline and her partner Mike with every book and every book builds upon the previous one when it comes to their story …
In The Patience of Karma we will have two cases that the team takes upon themselves to solve – one with an uncle looking for his presumed dead nephew as his niece needs a kidney transplant and he is their last hope; the other case seems to be open shut case of cheating but nothing is ever as it seems … the closer they get to solving the cases, the more surprises we encounter, the more invested we get in the outcome … add this Mike and his past that comes knocking and we have a story that throws a punch!

‘THE PATIENCE OF KARMA’, is book five in Cynthia Hamilton’s ‘Madeline Dawkins Mystery’ series and having read and thoroughly enjoyed the previous books I was really looking forward to this latest instalment and was definitely not disappointed. This story had me hooked from page one with its exciting storyline. Private Investigator Madeline Dawkins has three cases to solve at once in this novel. In a tragic case, Madeline must help find Daniel, a drifter and who has been estranged from his family presumed dead until recently, but who is his sisters last hope of survival if he has a compatible kidney he’s willing to donate. In another case a famous composer believes his young wife is having an affair but as Madeline seeks to prove she’s innocent the truth is even more dangerous. Meanwhile, Madeline’s husband Mike Delaney is having to deal with the possible consequences to his life from choices he made over a decade ago. As Madeline and Mike work together to solve the cases they dig deep into the past to uncover the truth amongst all the secrets, but end up putting themselves in danger. In the background Madeline also has the worry of the whereabouts of her ex husband. As her and Mike tackle three of the toughest cases they have ever faced, they will both be left changed in ways they could never have anticipated.
I was hooked from the first page and the storyline was fast paced and the narrative flowed well. The plot has plenty of drama and suspense and the mystery elements kept me guessing until the end. Madeline is a great main character and heroine of the stories and I felt like I was back with an old friend whilst reading this novel. I like how the author weaves the personal aspects of Madeline and Mike’s lives into the mystery crime story. This novel can be read as a standalone story, however the reader would understand more of Madeleine’s backstory if they have read the previous books in the series. I definitely recommend this enjoyable and engaging novel and I think that it is a five star read.

The Patience of Karma is the fifth book in the exciting Madeline Dawkins Series by Cynthia Hamilton. Private Investigators Madeline and Mike are approached with two cases that seem to grow more mysterious the longer they look into them. With Mike’s past catching up with him and adding another challenge to the pile, there’s a lot for the team to untangle.
I enjoy the format of having multiple mysteries on the go at once. It means we can be held in suspense on one side of the story while we read about another. And it’s a great way of giving us time with Madeline and Mike (as well as their employees and contacts) separately.
I really like Samir, and it was good to see him very involved in the case. He’s got a lot of useful skills that balance the team and there’s a good chemistry between him and Mike.
For me, this is a five-star read. I would recommend it to readers who enjoy having a bunch of mysteries to solve! The coastal Californian setting makes for a lovely scenic getaway as well.
This book could be read as a standalone, but the series is very good and The Patience of Karma refers to some of the events of earlier books so why not start from the beginning?

Cynthia Hamilton shows her talent once again in this book, which I absolutely devoured! This book will keep you hooked, your eyes glued to the page, needing to know what happens next! I have adored reading Madeline’s story, which has been a roller coaster since the very first book! Cynthia weaves a romantic tale with enough twists and turns to keep you absolutely enthralled! I recommend her work highly, and can’t wait to get my hands on more!

Cynthia Hamilton is a wonderful author. I love Madeline Dawkins. This is her fifth book in the series about her. Every mystery has a little more bite than the last one. I found this story even better than the last one. In this book, Madeline and Mike are back sleuthing. This duo keeps the pages turning. I did talk to Madeline and Mike like they were able to hear me all the way into the book from my chair.I am able to keep my mind focused on what is going on. There are two mysteries in this book, but the clues lead to the right mystery. Can one’s past come up biting you in the rear end? Can the mystery of infidelity be a mistake or is it real? You will have to read this story to answer these questions.

by Cynthia Hamilton

Having read the other books in this series I knew this would be a good read. I, however, had no idea that I would love it as much as I did. The author stepped it up in this story with Madeline and Mike both working serious cases, then another case comes along. Each of these cases bring their own problems and twists and turns. This story drew me in from the start and kept me on the edge of my seat. This book is full of action, suspense, danger and wonderful characters. Will Mike and Madeline find the missing people they are looking for. What will happen when Mike’s past catches up to him? To find out the answer to these questions this is a must read. I have enjoyed this series since the beginning and that includes this book and I cannot wait to read what’s in store for us next. I highly recommend this book.

How I love Madeline and Mike in THE PATIENCE OF KARMA (A Madeline Dawkins Mystery #5) by Cynthia Hamilton. These mysteries are the gift that gives more than you expect. I love the good solid personalities that these two have, their constant introspection, how they examine their motives, I just love the whole process they go through to justify their actions. I especially liked this mystery because of the deeper truths about the homeless and addiction. Things we know about but we don’t really think too deeply about. But we should. I love that the author weaves this into her stories. I have never been disappointed in any of Cynthia Hamilton’s stories and this was no exception. I think you will enjoy this one just as much as I did.

The Patience of Karma by Cynthia Hamilton is the fifth book in The Madeline Dawkins book series. These books can be read as standalone but I believe much better enjoyed if read in order. Madeline is up for a crazy time in this book with three different cases at one time. Can Madeline and her partner Mike solve all the cases before anything gets crazier? Madeline is a smart, adventurous, detective who has found her calling since the first book. Mike is a great counterpart to Madeline and I really enjoy their back and forth. I look forward to reading more from this series and this author in the future.

This is book 5 in the Madeline Dawkins series and these stories just keep getting better and better.

Now Madeline and Mike are finally married and running the successful PI business together but things are as they seem. Someone is watching them. Is it someone from Madeline’s past or someone from Mike and will this person destroy their happiness.

Case wise they are on two cases again. First they are trying to find a missing person in order to save his dying sister. As they start to discover things about the person they are unsure if this is just a missing person or if the person doesn’t want to be found because of a more sinister reason.

The second case is a rich musician who hires them as he thinks his younger wife is having an affair. Will the PI’s uncover an affair or will the truth be stranger and more dangerous than any of them realise.

These books are so gripping and the discoveries keep you guessing from start to finish. The characters are strong and well written that you cant help but identify with them and all they go through.

The Patience Of Karma is the th5 book in the excellent Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. Each book in the series can be read as a stand-alone. The Madeline Dawkins series is a collection of extremely well written detective stories that are captivating and you won’t want to put down.
In this 5th book, Madeline and Mike are now married and are happier than they have been in a long time but is one of their new cases about to cause a rift to their new marital bliss? Madeline and Mike have 3 new cases and have a lot on their plate.
I loved that their assistant Samir had a much bigger role in this book and hope we will continue to see more of him.
As with the previous books in this series, this book grips you straight way and keeps you gripped throughout. This book is very well written and the story is intricate and flows along well, keeping the reader highly engaged. I’m sure I’ve said in reviews of previous books in this series but I’m amazed at how well Cynthia Hamilton writes such intricate storylines and she’s done it again with The Patience Of Karma.
I’m a huge fan of this series and hope that Cynthia Hamilton keeps it going as I love reading about Madeline and Mike.

The Patience of Karma (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 5) by Cynthia Hamilton is a crime/thriller. The mystery, thrills and suspense kept me glued to the book all the way through. As always with these wonderful characters Cynthia puts them through their paces and us right along with them. I have loved this series since the first book I picked up and have not been disappointed, not once. Cynthia cleverly crafts the plot and several storylines that she is known for and works her magic when mixing it all together. Mike and Madeline are one of my favourite couples in a series and they always manage to find themselves in harrowing situations. Cynthia’s writing is engaging and captivating. I suggest you start from the first book and work your way through. Disappointed, I think NOT!

This series is beyond brilliant and just gets better with every book. Hamilton has pieced together an amazing series. This latest installment continues where the last left off. You can certainly enjoy these books as stand-alone. However you will want to read them all 1. for the complete picture and 2. because they are simply that good. Looking for a page turner with gripping suspense and fantastic characters? Look no further.

The Patience of Karma is the fifth book in the Madeline Dawkins series and this book follows on from the intense stories that have rocked these two loveable characters.

The story sets up with them having been married for four months and they are still delving into the world of the PI’s while still trying to escape her ex-husband and with secrets threatening to shake there world, it’s just another day in the lives of these two characters.

This next adventure has them searching for a lost nephew who could save his sister, they are engaged to follow a woman who’s famous husband thinks she is having an affair and many more come out of the woodwork.

This story continues to enlighten you with the history of the two main characters although this story heavily sides towards Mike which is great to see inside such a brilliant developed character. Although there is a arc that runs through all the books you can still read this as a standalone. With the twists and turns, drama which is associated with a Madeline Dawkins book this one does not disappoint. I can’t wait for the next installment in this great series.

The Patience of Karma (The Madeline Dawkins Series Book 5) by Cynthia Hamilton. These books never disappoint me. Once again I was so completely hooked and happy to get lost in the pages. The world this author has created never gets old to me each book I find myself on the edge of my seat and trying to figure everything out before the end. The characters are complex and relatable, they pull you into their world and I loved every minute of it. The storyline is well thought out and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Even the smallest of details are focused on and each page gets better than the last. Five big stars all the way and highly recommended!

The Patience of Karma is the fifth book in the Madeline Dawkins series by Cynthia Hamilton. This story can be read without having to read the rest of the series, but I would recommend starting at book one. The story and the characters have developed so much throughout that you will be missing out if you don’t.

Book five starts back with Madeline and Mike, now a few months into their marriage. As usual they both have their separate cases to work on, but come together to help each other work through plots, stories and to work things out. The cases are not without their challenges, and although they are almost like reading two different stories the author manages to bring them together as one.
Madeline and Mike are tested in many ways in this story, and their relationship continues to grow.
I’ve been a huge fan of this series from the start, and this book doesn’t disappoint. I have loved seeing the development in the characters of Madeline and Mike, both separately and as a couple. They bring out the best in each other in so many ways.
The author, as always, has done her research and this shines through in the story. I would recommend this series to get stuck in to.

Madeline and Mike are at it again, picking up cases and trying to fight through lies and secrets to get to the truth. I love how much she’s including Samir, he’s been such a great character!

The Patience of Karma by Cynthia Hamilton is the fifth book in the Madeline Dawkins series. This book can be read as a standalone however in my opinion it is definitely worth reading this whole series! It is always so easy to fall straight back into the Madeline Dawkins life and the cases that she is solving. It feels like you don’t leave them behind at all at the end of each book.
This book was an interesting one to read. There was a lot going on for the characters all at once but it added more to the depth of the book and made it exciting to read. I was intrigued as to how it was all going to turn out and that kept the pages turning quickly. This is another great addition to the series and I am looking forward to seeing what comes next.

What I really love about this author is as you’re reading you pick up possible clues and then as you keep reading you remember what you read way before and then it takes a turn and it left me guessing.
Two cases to keep them busy and leave you reading until the last word.

Once again Cynthia Hamilton has given us a read that is engaging and creative from the very beginning. The patience of Karma is book 5 in this series, and after reading the previous books in this series, I didn’t think they would continue getting better and better, but boy was I wrong, Cynthia Hamilton continues to up her game and brings us another fast-paced read full of action, adventure. I love how we don’t just get one ‘case’ to follow and figure out, but how this author writes her books each one flows and you never find yourself lost to the storyline. This book once again shows me that sinking my teeth into a good crime genre book is the way forward, and that has only been done by this author’s brilliant writing and incredible characters to keep me hooked along the way! The characters brought to us in the reads are captivating and I absolutely love following along on their journey, I really connect with them and they make the read what it is! EPIC! I highly recommend this read and this author and I can’t wait to see what else is to come!

Once again Madeline and Mike will enthral you with the mysteries, they each try and conquer. This pair always keep you guessing, with what’s happening with the cases, as just when you have a handle they pull it from you and the door slams in your face leaving you wondering again. I don’t want to say more as you need to get into this story, its complex and filled with ups and downs and wonder. Don’t miss this great story.

The Patience of Karma is the fifth book in The Madeline Dawkins Series by Cynthia Hamilton. This is the fourth book I have read in this series and this book did not disappoint. The author does an amazing job carrying out multiple story lines within the same book. Madeline Dawkins is a private investigator with her partner Mike Delaney. One case leaves Madeline looking for a client’s missing nephew to help save his dying niece. It’s thought the nephew Daniel died in a boating accident that took the lives of two of his friends, but a photo surfaces that proves otherwise. Finding Daniel could lead to him being a kidney donor for his sister, ultimately saving her life. The other case deals with an older man worried that his younger wife is cheating on him. Digging into this case leads to some strange and dangerous evidence. Then to top it all off, Mike Delaney is struggling with some past choices he made and how they might affect his present life. These three cases were true tests for Madeline. Like in other novels, I really enjoyed reading Madeline’s story. She is such a strong female main character and works very hard in her profession. I look forward to continuing Madeline’s story in the next novel.

The Patience of Karma is book 5 in the series. This book can be read as a stand alone however it’s always good to have read the previous books to understand the level of relationships and what was conjured up to get them where they are today. I have read the previous books. Mike and Madeline have a long history. Here they are back at it again doing what they love. I always wonder if the books would keep my attention better if it was one case at a time. I enjoyed reading the book but it did take me a while to finish. This duo has 2 cases which are keeping them busy. A missing nephew who is thought to have possibly passed away but there’s reason to believe he’s still alive. He’s needed for a very important reason involving his sister who desperately needs him. The other case is a high profile person who believes his wife is cheating. Should be a very easy cut and dry case. With any good book there’s always surprise bumps in the road to keep us entertained. I love the relationship between the characters and always wonder what they will be up to next.

This is the fifth book in the series that I have read and I continue to find myself being pulled into Madeline’s world with each new book. This book can be read as a standalone…as any references to prior books is pretty well explained. However, I recommend reading the entire series because it is just that good! Plus, having their back story takes the story to another level.

But…back to this book. Mike and Madeline each have their own cases they are working on. Mike is tasked with finding a man that was previously presumed dead in hopes that he will be able to help save a young woman’s life. Madeline is watching a composer’s wife for proof of cheating. However, a huge wrench is thrown into the case when the wife comes up missing. To add more drama on top of everything, someone from Mike’s past shows up with information that could change his (and Madeline’s) world forever. Can they find the truth in each of these cases before it’s too late?

These books just keep getting better. Every book, as their story continues to grow, is better than the last. Madeline, as a character, has really come into her own and become a strong woman to be reckoned with. I love this series and recommend it to anyone who loves a good mystery!
