Jane Blake: True Sinner is the first novel of the Jane Blake series. It is a fast-paced mystery with lots of twists and turns.

Jane, a witty, beautiful con artist, has managed to solve some tough criminal cases while working as a thief in Los Angeles. Her dark history has made her deceitful and cunning. She doesn’t trust anyone and has always worked alone. But this changes when she meets Ryan Gray - a hacker who works as a homicide detective. He is impressed with her abilities and makes her join his agenda even though she doesn't want to.


As she settles into her new life, Jane decides it’s finally time for her to collect the pieces of the puzzle of her past. With a team behind her back for the first time, she’s ready to uncover the truth. Why a man tried to kidnap her as a child? Who was that mystery man who saved her from that horrible fate? Who are her real parents? Why her mentor and his wife were killed when they started investigating Jane’s past? And why did she had to promise not to dig deeper into her true origins?


After she discovers one of her relatives, her search will lead even deeper, uncovering the dark secrets of her family and a criminal conspiracy that stretches far beyond L.A.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kelly Shade is a mystery writer. Her debut novel Jane Blake: True Sinner is the first book of the Jane Blake series. The idea behind the series came to Kelly years before she started writing it. Initially, she wanted to write one book, but the story in her mind was way too long for just one novel, so she decided a series was necessary.

From a tender age, Kelly has been fervently engaged in storytelling, dabbling in various fiction genres and penning music lyrics with equal passion.

Her knowledge of psychology, human behavior, and criminal psychology has deeply influenced her writing, adding layers of depth and insight to her character development and plot intricacies.

Though she thinks of herself as a citizen of the world, Kelly’s heart belongs to California. She has lived in several countries in Europe, wanting to experience different cultures, and is currently enjoying life in a small coastal Spanish city. As for the future, she has no idea where the wind will blow her—maybe she’ll get back to the Pacific's embrace.

Kelly is a proud mother of two: a son and a daughter, who add further joy and purpose to her adventurous and creative life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good debut novel
Reviewed in the United States on 12 August 2021

‘Jane Blake – True Sinner’ is the debut novel of Kelly Shade, a new author to me. I came across an ad on social media for the second book in the series and was sufficiently intrigued to buy it, and this one, to see how the main character developed. Writer Shade has a comfortable style with words that will carry the reader along in this first novel, and is sufficient so that the continual fast pace with no respite does not become too repetitive a rhythm.

The story structure is unusual for a crime thriller of this type, reminding me more of a television series where we are presented with the case-of-the-week against a background of a continuing story arc that directly affects the protagonist, in this case her search for her real parents. The central character, Jane Blake, is an expert con artist with a wide range of skills that give her an edge over her victims, yet she often takes on jobs that take the form of payback for some ill deed done to a third party. This is a strong setup for her transition to a consulting role with an elite Los Angeles Police Homicide Department. The tale explores both her and her new team’s mutual trust issues where the individual murder cases they are assigned are used as a vehicle for them to come to a compromise.

A promising first novel from this author. If you are a fan of good crime fiction with strong female protagonists, this is the one for you. Recommended.
