      When sixteen-year-old Jenny James goes missing, and the local police are unable to find her, the girl’s frantic mother hires private investigators Jake and Annie Lincoln to search for her daughter.
      When the body of Jenny’s boyfriend is discovered, the mystery of her disappearance deepens. Shaken out of their comfort zone of Internet searches and poring over public records, the couple soon find themselves facing the frightening possibility they are looking for the latest victim of a serial killer.

From the Author

I've done a lot of writing in my life. Nothing published, but with the popularity of ebooks and thriller novels I wanted to put my hand in again. It was a hugely rewarding experience and I learned a lot about myself, and about writing thrillers series in general.

The end result is Blood and Justice, the first of the Jake & Annie Lincoln Crime Thrillers.

I included some great characters, tucked in some humourous situations, and tried to keep the thrillers series an interesting and easy read.

It was great fun to write. The characters revealed themselves to me as I went along, and the story told itself. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. I was pleasantly surprised when the story ended. Not exactly the way I planned it, but there it was.

I hope you will give this series a look.

From the Inside Flap

About the Jake & Annie Lincoln Series
      Not so long ago, Jake had been a construction engineer for one of Canada's largest land developers. At the time, Annie had been doing part-time research for a variety of companies from her home office. When the business Jake worked for had gotten into financial difficulties, he'd been laid off.
      He'd moped around the house a few weeks, then one day approached Annie with the idea of expanding her growing business and taking on the name of Lincoln Investigations. Annie had decided it wouldn't hurt to give it a whirl.
      Their new venture had required they take the proper course, get PI licenses, and pass police background checks. Several weeks later, they'd designed and printed new letterhead, gotten a dedicated phone line, and proudly displayed their diplomas on the office wall.
      Lincoln Investigations had been born.
      Though routine searches for missing persons, background checks for businesses, and research for legal firms were still their mainstays, they'd found themselves involved in several high-profile cases. Dangerous people of all kinds had crossed their paths. With the help of their growing relationship with RHPD, Lincoln Investigations had successfully tracked down some of Richmond Hill's worst criminals.

From the Back Cover

When the search for a missing teenager leads them into a white-knuckle hunt for a serial killer, private investigators Jake and Annie Lincoln find themselves shaken out of their comfort zone.

As more bodies pile up, the town is gripped with fear. It seems no one is safe, and the Lincolns race to solve an impossible puzzle before they become the killer's next victims.

gonna be reading more of this series!

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2016

While perusing online outlets for new authors I haven’t read or books being promoted various ways that looked interesting, I came across this series. Now, the author is on book # 11, which is to come out soon and I hope in print form. I thought it would be prudent to begin where the characters’ stories begin. Blood and Justice introduces us to a husband and wife team who become private investigators just starting out and while they begin with small tasks their lives and business are about to blossom!
Jeremy is our antagonist in the story, and the author does a great job showing us his story with the use of flashbacks. We learn how he was raised, who his parents were and their story as it impacts Jeremy. We also learn how Jeremy views some people who deserve what he dishes out and why he calls it justice.
Anne and Jake have a son named Matty who loves to wrestle with his Dad and do other interactive activities with him. Anne seems to be the one whose strength is administrating, organizing and getting a general sense of people. Jake is a hands-on kind of guy who interacts more with the police and prefers being on the move, doing anything to help solve the case rather than being cooped up in an office.
When a young girl named Jenny goes missing and the police have exhausted all possible leads, a detective sends the mother to his friends the Lincolns. Hank, the detective, is good friends with the Lincolns and helps in any way he can to get Jenny back home to her mother alive. While doing that, Hank begins to fall for Jenny’s mom, Amelia.
So all in all it is a great story. There is no sex or foul language, just a good murder mystery with interesting characters! I cannot wait to read the next book titled, Cold Justice!

8 yrs. previous. Jeremy Spencer (16) pulled a prank on Joey (bully) & told him he’d found a hidden cache of money/jewels in the woods.
Jeremy had his father’s old H& R .22-caliber revolver aimed it at Joey & he was history.
Jeremy covered Joey’s corpse with dirt in the grave he had preciously dug.
Richmond Hill. 8/7, as Jake Lincoln (husband/father, Lincoln Investigations PI), was eating his apple pie & was getting onto Annie Lincoln (wife/mother, Lincoln Investigations PI, P/T research asst.) about the missing boy’s case.

Jeremy (24) just buried another corpse.
8/8, Detective Hank Corning (40) told Mrs. James (35+) they had done all they could to find her missing daughter Jenny James (16).
Mrs. Amelia James (widow/mother) called Lincoln Investigations.
Jake, & Annie went to interview Amelia about Jenny.
She was last seen 8/2, headed for Richmond Hill Public School.

Officer “Yappy” Spiegle had pursued & when the occupant wrecked it, he took off running.
The car was registered to Chad Allen Bronson (18, Mortino’s).
Center Street Delicatessen (Jewish). Detective Corning decided it was time for Amelia to get out of the house.

Detective Corning, & Officer Spiegle had arrived at the crime scene.
The deceased was Chad.
Carville St. Basil Wrightson coming back to his apartment after the daily walk of Pup (brown terrier) noticed blood seeping out of Mrs. Edna Bellows (89) # 204 apartment.

8/14, Jake Lincoln (husband/father, Lincoln Investigations PI), Annie Lincoln (wife/mother, Lincoln Investigations PI), & Matty Lincoln (son) went on a picnic.
Jeremy Spencer Grandmother was cruel, & not nice.
She used the belt on him a lot.

Why did Amelia call Detective Hank Corning (lead investigator)?
Why did MacKay call Jeremy to the office?
Would the murder mysteries be solved & someone brought to justice?

Warning: This book contains graphic adult content, or violence, which is only suitable for mature readers. It may be offensive or have potential adverse psychological effects on the reader.

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written murder mystery book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great serial killer movie, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

I like the concept of police

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

I like the concept of police, along with private detectives, can work together to solve a crime, particularly in a missing child situation accompanied by a murder of another, but this entire story was off the charts of absurdity. I was "easy" reading, but I had many head shaking moments as the events are described, and the activities of the detectives, and lack of activity by the police due to 'financial woes' were included. We all understand many organizations are under-funded now, but to give credence to inept behavior? Presumably the author did not study law enforcement or detective techniques in advance of this novel. Unless you're reading just as a time-killer, would not recommend,.

Pleasantly Surprised

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2016

Verified Purchase

Amazon has this book for free (perfect price!) so I decided to give it a shot. It is the first book in a series (11 books so far) and after reading this I plan on checking the other books soon.

The story follows the search for a 16 year old girl who has gone missing and a detective agency couple who are helping the search. The story is narrated by multiple POV (the killer, the husband and wife of the detective agency) and flows very well. I personally found the killer pretty disturbing but written with layers. The book is pretty dark but not obscene or filled with explicit sex. Unlike some other "soft" detective novels, the main heroes here make sensible decisions pretty much in the entire book which is a refreshing.

Overall, I found this book a very entertaining read with well-written characters and would recommend this book for anyone looking for a nice detective/thriller story.

Notes:
Worth The Money: Yes
Would I Recommend It: Yes

Weak and no mystery

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

I really didn't like this plot, I read about 50% of this book and that was a real struggle. I just couldn't get into this story so I gave up and skimmed the rest of the book. I felt a real disconnect with the characters and the writing was not sophisticated and it lacked depth. Murder mysteries and thrillers are not my favourite genres but I have read a few that have been brilliant and this book I'm afraid falls well short. There was no mystery as the murderer was revealed from the very beginning of the book so the title is misleading, perhaps it should have been called a detective series. Well I'm not going to invest time reading any further books from this author, as this one was more than enough for me and I couldn't even finish it.

Canadian private detectives

Way longer than it needed to be.
dose not show the police force in a good light at all, this is supposed to be a city.
Found myself screaming at the plot to move on, how stupid can 3 brains be, and just asking why hasn't this and that been done! The Chat between characters is bloody awful.

The only house on that road for MILES! not a single cop checks on it really? Everyone knows first kill body dumps are local. This spot has to be local knowledge. This family troubles spawned a kid everyone knows is an odd ball, living in the woods on his own. Local legend has grown with less, than a missing bully.
Glaring holes in the plot, pages of words not need.
A cozy mystery at best.

No sex, nor swearing - I have certainly read worse books

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

With so many reviews of this book, it is difficult to say anything different - good or bad.
I bought several of this series over the last year, but have only just got round to reading
this, the first one written. I have read better books in this genre, but also a lot worse!
There was no swearing and no sex, which does make a change.

Annie and Jake are struggling to earn a living from their new detective agency. They are
hired by the mother of missing Jenny, 16. As Jenny had no history of running away, etc. I was surprised
the police were not making more effort to trace her when she had been missing 24 hours.
Also Jake seemed a bit high handed retrieving video footage from a store in a case that they hadn't
then proved was connected to Jenny's disappearance. Their policeman friend, Hank, didn't even
reprove Jake - just asked for the tapes when they had viewed them.

Also, as others have said, I found it totally unbelievable that, however much he might have fancied her,
Hank took a bouquet of flowers to Jenny's widowed mother, especially as the girl was so recently
missing. And why wasn't there a tap on the mother's phone in case the kidnapper called?

As we know who the murderer was from page one, there was no mystery there, so no twists and turns
to this story. Jeremy, the murderer, had a warped sense of right and wrong and considered he was
justified in killing thieves (both small and large crimes). However as Jenny was only a witness to a killing
and no thief, he has a dilemma about what to do with her.

The book was a little naive in my opinion and there was a lot of padding in between any action. However,
I will read the other books and review them sometime, and perhaps the author will develop his style and the
characters will have more depth to them.

Had The Makings Of A Good Story However It Lacked Something In General

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

I found this lacked something. I am not sure if I will carry on with the rest of this series.

So what is this about? Jake and Annie Lincoln. From Richmond Hill, Ontario,Canada. Are married with an eight year old son.

After doing a variety of jobs. They, have decided to work together and start a private detective agency.

Soon, they are hired to find a sixteen year old girl who has gone missing. The client has their recommendation by a friend of the Lincolns in the local police force.

And that sentence shows where it is lacking. Would the police give work to private detectives in such a high profile case?

If you want to give this a try? As things currently stand (Friday 30 June 2017) it is free on Kindle. So from that angle you cannot go wrong.
