This is the 5th book in this series. As always this caught me from the start of the book. Pi Mike and Madeline are on another case this time a missing family member in order to save a life. Someone who doesn’t want to be found. The story flows very nicely and you feel as if you are there with Mike and Madeline seeing everything through their eyes.

I have really enjoyed this series so I was looking forward to this fifth instalment and I wasn’t disappointed at all. I really like Ms Hamilton’s writing, I find it really engaging and I have definitely become invested in the characters after so many books! Although there is quite a lot going on in the story I never once felt lost or confused about what was going on, the authors writing was smooth and seamless. There are some great twists and turns that had me guessing what was happening and would Madeline and Mike being able to solve these cases! I am very excited for the next book in the series! I can’t wait to see what awaits these two characters!

Madeline Dawkins and her husband Mike Delaney are at it again! They each have a case to solve for their PI business, and even one that hits close to home for Mike. As always, the characters and the story brings you right into it. Madeline and Mike grow stronger together and have each other’s backs, plus the way they solve the crimes sure get you interested in the cases and their life. This is the 5th book in the series – I’ve read them all and I can say they get better in each installment because of the back story. Don’t get me wrong, they can definitely be read as a stand alone book. Just don’t be surprised if you pick up the earlier books once you’ve finished this one.

I have yet to read a Madeline Dawkins Mystery that I did not absolutely adore. THE PATIENCE OF KARMA is no exception to the rule, and once again Hamilton has truly delivered the ultimate twisty and suspenseful mystery that will take you away on a wild ride as you try to figure it out along with Maddie and Mike. I have loved every book up until this one but I do think you could read them as standalones if you really wanted and still find them easy to digest and adore.
THE PATIENCE OF KARMA has a whole new mystery one with drama and twists and turns you will not see coming just as much as Maddie and Mike don’t. I loved the side characters and how well the story flowed. It was believable and intense in the suspense department and I couldn’t get through it fast enough. I will be so ready to get my hands on the sixth book, House of Deception!

The Patience of Karma is the fifth intense instalment in the Madeline Dawkins seriesby the incredibly talented Cynthia Hamilton. I adore this series- and find myself excitedly awaiting the release of each new addition- anticipating what Maddie and Mike will encounter ‘this’ time. And with every book I wonder just how much Maddie and Mike can take, as Ms Hamilton tests them, thoroughly, each and every time. Cynthia Hamilton definitely doesn’t disappoint with this book- delivering an edge of your seat mystery that had all the dramatic developments, emotive qualities, and surprising twists that I have come to expect from her creative mind. She definitely knows how to keep her audience clamouring for more- developing addictively clever stories with their own original webs of intrigue. I don’t think I will ever tire of reading one on her books- the bonus being that this series is one that you can happily go back and read over and over again. Bring on Book #6, “House Of Deception”- I CAN NOT WAIT!!!!

THE PATIENCE OF KARMA (A Madeline Dawkins Mystery #5) by Cynthia Hamilton. I love this series. It can be read as a standalone but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading them all. This is the story of Madeline Dawkins and Mike Delaney who own a PI service together and are also dating. This book has Mike and Madeline receiving 3 cases at one time. One being an older man wanting to find out if his young wife is cheating on him. Seems cut and dried right, but with Madeline nothing is ever cut and dried. The next case is for a missing man who is presumed dead but has been seen in a picture within the last little bit and he may be the key to save a young girl’s life. The next case is about Mike’s past and some choices he made years ago. Will Mike and Madeline solve all the cases and stay together in the process? Read The Patience of Karma to find out!

The Patience of Karma (The Madeline Dawkins Series # 5) By Cynthia Hamilton 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book The Patience of Karma (The Madeline Dawkins Series # 5) by Cynthia Hamilton. It is a story that pulled me in from the beginning and I was hooked. I love the characters of Madeline Dawkins and Mike Delaney. When these two are on the case you can be sure of their determination to solve it. This book has them taking on three different cases. One is a missing person, the other a husband wondering about what his wife is up to, and the last one involves Mike and his past. The story is written in such a way that I felt like I was right there with Mike and Madeline. The author has a wonderful way of making both the storyline and the characters come alive. This book has emotional moments and also suspenseful ones. Will the cases be solved? Read this book to find out. I have loved this series since I read the first book. Reading about Madeline and Mike’s cases and how they work so well together I can’t help but root for them to succeed. Don’t miss out on a story that will have you turning pages until you have read the final one. I highly recommend both the series and this book.

This is the fifth book in this series, they keep getting better and better with every installment. I enjoyed seeing Madeline again in another story. This is a well developed story that kept me turning pages to the end. The characters made the story engaging and fast paced. I had no problem connecting with them. They made the story easy to read and really made the story into what it is. In this book we get to see Madeline and her partner Mike back in another set of mysteries. This story reads as if there are two mysteries but it is done well and understandable. Madeline is faced with finding out if a composer’s wife is having an affair and Mike is faced with coming to terms with choices made in the past. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what Madeline and Mike have in store for us next in this story. As always, Madeline is such a great character and has been my favorite from the beginning. You won’t regret picking up this book, I know that I didn’t.

The MDPI team is tasked with unraveling three cases, all of them with dire consequences if Madeline, Mike and Samir can’t solve them.
A Florida man desperate to save his niece’s life seeks out MDPI’s help in locating a nephew he hasn’t seen in five years, a drifter who was presumed dead after a tragic boating accident took the lives of his two friends. A photo Web Burnhart found online proves Daniel is alive and well, and was in Santa Barbara after his friends succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning off the coast of San Diego. As Web’s niece slips closer to death each day, Daniel has become her last hope for receiving a compatible kidney.
Award-winning composer Evan Picard is referred to MDPI when he suspects his much-younger wife may be seeking attention elsewhere whenever work takes him down to Los Angeles. Madeline is able to put his suspicions to rest after she witnesses a “communication” between Bella and her deceased sister, only to have the case take off in a completely different and disturbing direction.
Daphne Pillsbury tracks Mike down, hoping he will be the key to solving a mystery that could give her the peace of mind she needs, while quite possibly blowing his blissful marriage to smithereens.
Cynthia Hamilton turned to writing while fighting a mystery illness that went misdiagnosed for nine years. Forgetting that she couldn’t write if her life depended on it, she wrote her first book in secret, just in case it didn’t amount to anything. Nineteen years later, she has written twelve books and published ten of them. She writes general fiction and mystery-suspense novels, as well as some non-fiction. “Once Upon A Lyme…A Tale of Two Journey” documents her harrowing odyssey through late-stage Lyme disease and the unexpected upside of becoming a writer. The Patience of Karma—her latest novel—is the fifth book in her Madeline Dawkins Mystery Series.
