Desperate Season (Seasons Mystery Series Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Maryann Miller (Author), Audrey Lintner (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 55 ratings
The long-anticipated third book in the Seasons Mystery Series From award-winning author Maryann Miller Children dying is a cop’s worst nightmare. Throw drugs in the mix, and the nightmare gets worse. Dallas Homicide Detectives, Angel Johnson and Sarah Kingsly, who are still trying to sort out their partnership, race to stop the influx of a nasty new street drug that is killing kids as young as ten. Those kids should be playing in the park, not dying in it. Who owns the streets of Dallas? Can the detectives take them back before more kids die?
PRAISE FOR THE SEASONS SERIES: "Try this debut mystery by a journalist for its open treatment of current urban problems, clean prose, and realistic depiction of women working together. For readers who enjoy Robin Burcell and fans of police procedurals." Library Journal
“ . . . gripping second mystery featuring Dallas, Tex., police detectives Sarah Kingsly and Angel Johnson. . . . The relationship between the women is just as absorbing as the search for the killer. Few readers will anticipate the closing twist.” Starred review for STALKING SEASON from Publishers Weekly.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Maryann Miller, an award-winning author, has been in love with story-telling since she was a child and used to scare her sister with stories of the monsters in the cellar. Those tales were never written down. They were always whispered in the dark, and when Maryann started writing stories, they were different types entirely.

As a young child, she didn't consider that she would grow up to be a writer. She fancied herself quite the singer and thought she would someday sing in front of crowds of thousands. Alas, that proved to be more dream than reality.

At another point in her childhood, she dreamed of being an actress, but it took many years before she was brave enough to give it a try. For fifteen years she was the Theatre Directer at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts where she directed shows for some time before getting brave enough to step on stage. It appears she was more suited to acting than singing, and she has since starred in several productions at various community theatres in East Texas.

A diverse writer of columns, feature stores, short fiction, novels, screenplays and stage plays, Maryann has won numerous awards including being a semi-finalist at the Sundance Institute for her screenplay, A Question Of Honor. She has also received the Page Edwards Short Story Award and the 2015 Best Mystery award for Doubletake.

Miller lives in a small town in NE Texas with one dog, and four cats. The cats rule! She has been writing all her life and plans to die at her computer.

    5.0 out of 5 stars AWARENESS AND BEING CAREFUL
    Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2022

    The book is a profound and painfully sad read, though thought-provoking. Can issues be solved amicably, or can society embrace diversity and still have harmony? The neighborhood is unsafe for all, including younger children. Lethal drugs are easier to process. It is a relatable tale with parents and relatives caught between a rock and a hard place. Due to some decisions made, a father faces his worst nightmare. What happened to little Felicity? Will life be the same for Maria after this? What constitutes betrayal?
    I like the storyline. It depicts the reality of life, not just in Dallas but perhaps in other places too. The author displays some sensitive themes concerning drug abuse, racism, and relationships. There is a lot of goodwill in people. Can it get recognized? There is prejudice and stereotypes, but the book demonstrates the strength of teamwork. Two seemingly different female police officers carry out their roles mostly in harmony, or perhaps not? Society is faced with a dilemma to solve. Many communities handle problems and grief in ways hitherto not understood by some. The language is simple and easy to understand. The criminals are crafty; the police are brave and willing to take risks. I love the book even though I was a little sad. What gives? So much intrigue and loss of young life.
    Maryann Miller delves into the subject matter. l found myself emphatic to the situations that arise. It is a touching tale and well-woven by the author. The story ends with an unexpected twist that I did not see coming. Reading this book, I learned alot and greatly recommend it to parents, young adults, the police, and Community Leaders.

    A behind the scenes look at how law enforcement works to get the drug dealers off the streets and how the drug dealers work to keep drugs on the street. Anything goes when you want those drugs flowing including murdering children. Recommended.

    This story leaves several questions unanswered. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

    Compelling and depressing depressing depressing storyline of young children dying from tainted drugs, a family caught in the crosshairs of drug dealers and racism. The police procedures were thin. The characters and dialogue are okay.

    No desire to re-read this story. Remember this is my personal opinion and does not reflect on the author.

    I thought that this was a pretty good thriller. For the most part it flo wed fairly well except when it came to the preaching. The characters were fairly realistic and unfortunately the story was realistic.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2022
    Desperate Seasons by Maryann Miller is Book 3 in the Seasons Mystery Series. It is a well written, captivating police thriller. The author did a good job creating and crafting the characters who fit perfectly with the storyline. I received an ebook copy of this from the author and these opinions are strictly my own. I rated it a four.

    Hard working female cop partners, a good mystery, racial tensions. What more could one want from this great author? This riveting novel had me hooked from page one. I respect Ms. Miller on her style and ability to understand and describe the race relations difficulties with ease and accuracy.
