⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 

In this action mystery thriller series by #1 bestseller Mia Gold (whose books have over 5,000 five-star ratings), Holly Hands, 29, single mom and former boxing pro turned Repo Woman, lives in the bad slice of Baltimore and dreams of getting the medical treatment her daughter desperately needs. But when she discovers a dead body in her trunk during a routine repo job, Holly has to tap into her fighting skills to solve the mystery. Hunt down the killer, and save her from a wrongful conviction that would take her away from her daughter…

 

KNOCKOUT (A HOLLY HANDS MYSTERY) is book #1 in a riveting new mystery series, a page-turning mystery that grabs you from page one and does not let go. Get ready to read all night, bleary-eyed, and fall madly in love with a new character.

 

Fans of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum and Jana DeLeon's Miss Fortune will find a new character to love in Holly Hands!

 

Book #2 (SUCKER PUNCH) and Book #3 (BELOW THE BELT) in the series are also available.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author devised some characters that I found very interesting. The protagonist in particular was a wonderfully flawed character. The setting of the story was a great choice also. I found the story very compelling. I like this author.

Enjoyed the characters and the locale. Mia Gold does an excellent job in descriptions of both. Will no doubt purchase books two, three, and four in the series.

“Very well written and kept your interest until the end. Just enough comical parts to enlighten the mood on occasion and intrigue enough to keep you engaged with the storyline.”

Holly has her pro boxing career find a sudden end when she becomes desperate for money for her daughter. The scam costs Holly her pro status, and nearly her daughter Alternative income is hard to come by, dangerous and is about to get messy It takes some creative action on the part of Holly and a certain detective to keep Holly out of handcuffs. Things might be looking up - except for a few more ghosts Intense drama, mom power, tangled plots and action I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Knockout is the first book in the "A Holly Hands Cozy Mystery" series and is a great start to this new series. The characters are well depicted and likable. The storyline is well written and flows nicely from start to finish with murder, mystery, action, and suspense. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the next book in this series. I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.

gaping plot holes. bullet in head became bashed by blunt instrument. drama of kid's medical needs spoiled by total wrong treatment ... just to keep the drama cranked up.
