Description

Once upon a time, the Grimms' fairy tales taught lessons. Now, the Grimm Reaper does.

New detective Chelsea Sullivan is partnered with a maverick famous for closing cases and infamous for how he does it. He has a target on his back and a chip on his shoulder. Not exactly how she hoped to kick off her first homicide case.

Jim McPherson doesn't mind showing an up-and-comer the ropes, but he does mind when she keeps putting herself in harm's way. Especially since her innocence is exactly the trait the serial killer seems to be targeting. Unless they're missing a crucial detail. And he can't help but think his new partner knows what it is.

The body count is rising and the Grimm Reaper is after Chelsea. If they can't catch him before he catches her, there will be no happily ever after. 

Once Upon A Crime is the first book in Nolon King's new Once Upon A Crime Trilogy. Start reading your favorite new series today!

    The premise of the book was ok & it could have been a really good book but…I’m so tired of the damsel in distress narrative!!! Women don’t become cops/detectives by being all weak & needy. We don’t always need some big strong man to protect us…that got really old, really quickly in this story! Without that being the major story line this would have been an enjoyable read, & it turned me off to the point I won’t be reading the next one.
  • Fast paced.

    Too many discrepancies and characters were miserable flat and annoying. Glad it was free.

    This book was SO. GREAT. I thought Sullivan & McPherson could have gotten along a little better (maybe because I’m usually a romance reader) but other than that it was a great read!

    Too much emphasis on the friction between detectives, when the underlying story line was good enough to carry the novel. Still enjoyed it though.
