The Sydney Brennan Mystery Series: Books 1-3 (Sydney Brennan Mysteries Box Set Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 133 ratings

She’ll take a crack at any case, and any bad guy. But what happens when they make her the target?

Get the first three Sydney Brennan Mysteries and join the tenacious PI in her determined quests to find answers.

North Florida, 2004. Private investigator Sydney Brennan refuses to back down from the truth. But when a suspicious prison suicide demands tough questions, someone decides to put a stop to her investigation. Permanently. Has the gutsy detective met her match?

Running from case to case dodging death and dismemberment becomes this headstrong woman’s modus operandi as she exposes unscrupulous actors. A simple background check for an ex-boyfriend sparks a homicide, and a search for a missing man triggers a run-in with professional killers. Will Sydney’s life be next?

The Sydney Brennan Mystery Series: Books 1-3 contains the first three books in this gripping series. If you like hard-nosed but undeniably human detectives and jaw-clenching tension, with a dose of dark humor stirred in, then you’ll love Judy K. Walker’s action-packed box set.

About the Author

A recovering criminal attorney, Judy K. Walker has enough spare letters after her name (and student loan debt) to suggest that insatiable curiosity is something fictional Tallahassee private investigator Sydney Brennan inherited from her creator. Fortunately, Judy's curiosity rarely involves murders.
In addition to the ongoing series featuring the intrepid red-headed PI, Judy penned the Dead Hollow Trilogy (
ProdigalFounder, and Heir). The Appalachian crime thriller series with a dash of the paranormal taps into the heart of her West Virginia upbringing, evoking the shadowy mountains and hollows (properly pronounced hollers) whose absence she still laments.
Judy writes from her home in Hawaii, where she is surrounded by husband, dogs, cat, and assorted geckos. If she's not tapping away at her computer, she's probably sweeping tumblepuppies (the piles of accumulated critter hair).

A recovering criminal attorney, Judy K. Walker has enough spare letters after her name (and student loan debt) to suggest that insatiable curiosity is something fictional Tallahassee PI Sydney Brennan inherited from her creator. Fortunately, Judy’s curiosity rarely involves murders.

Born and raised in West Virginia, Judy returned to her roots in the Appalachian supernatural thriller Dead Hollow trilogy (Prodigal, Founder, and Heir). Now she's back at work on the next Sydney Brennan book.

Judy writes from her home in rainy East Hawaii, where she is surrounded by husband, feral pigs, and assorted geckos.

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH SYDNEY BRENNAN: Many authors say their characters are their alter egos, doing the things they've always wanted to do in the ways they wish they could do them. At the risk of sounding shallow, my private investigator Sydney Brennan--with her shoulder-length, curly red hair--is my Hair Alter Ego. It's hard to tell from the ancient, faded, pre-digital photo at the right, but when I was very young I had red ringlets of curls. (And yes, shockingly, that is a book in my hands.) They never grew back after my first haircut, and my mother still laments their loss. The red hue is long gone and as for the curls, the best I can do now is a persistent cowlick and the occasional unruly wave.

    I really enjoyed these. Sydney is a great character, engaging, witty, and resourceful, but I do hope she does those self-defence classes with Cooper's friend soon. The Florida settings are very atmospheric, vivid, and full of interest. I look forward to more of Sydney and the people and places she knows.

    Judy K Walker's writing is excellent, a huge relief after some of the indie ebooks I've read which have been unedited and full of annoying typos, mistakes, and omissions.

    I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys crime fiction and good writing.

    5.0 out of 5 stars You want an awesome read? That's the one!
    Reviewed in France on July 26, 2016
    This is one of the best discoveries these last few years. The plot is great, the characters are awesome, it's totally believable even when it shouldn't be (lots of research), but the best thing is : it's not like anything else I've read (and I've read lots). I wish this series had ten more titles. The books can be read as standalones but I strongly recommend starting with the first one - if it's too much skip the novellas, who are worth four stars, which for me is a lot as usually hate novellas.
