Washburn County Deputy Amber Monroe is following in the footsteps of her sister, Jade. She devours everything she can during her detective training in hopes of being promoted soon.
Living in small-town USA has its advantages, like a sense of security, and disadvantages, like being close to Milwaukee and its crime. Washburn County has become the dumping ground of murder victims, courtesy of its neighboring county to the south.
When two men are discovered on the outskirts of North Bend, each with a bullet to the head, Amber’s team, led by Lieutenant Jack Steele, hits the highway in search of a killer.
Assisted by the Milwaukee PD, they go deep into Brew City’s underbelly, which reveals far more than anyone ever expected. Crimes involving murder and counterfeiting keep the team running in every direction, but it’s Amber’s attraction to a new man in North Bend that puts her front and center on the killer’s short list.
She doesn’t get far before the entire case turns upside down.
Note: All Amber Monroe books are standalone stories but since characters carry over, they are best read in chronological order.

Book Title: Greed
Book Author: CM Sutter
What do you like about this book:
Soon to be detective Amber Monroe is excited to be following in the footsteps of her law enforcement sister, Jade. Most of her time as a deputy, awaiting her promotion, is spent as a gofer. But when two bodies are discovered in her county, she gets a chance to put her detective skills to work.
I literally finished this book in one setting. I just couldn’t put it down. I was up way past my normal bedtime. The only thing negative I have to say is the author’s use of rough language exceeded my tolerance, which is admittedly very low. I much prefer a book with absolutely no foul language. There were no sex scenes in the book, though there is one scene at a strip club that is otherwise tame. There is a fair amount of violence but it is not overly graphic. I would recommend this book to any mature reader who enjoys thrillers.
