Damaged (Kate Lange, book #1) by Pamela Callow
Damaged by Pamela Callow is a solid debut to what could become a very good to excellent series starring attorney Kate Lange. Because I like my suspense/thrillers to start off grabbing me by the throat I would have liked Chapter 8 to open Damaged. I will tell you it involves surgical instruments and detached body parts. While Ms. Callow doesn’t break any new ground in this already crowded genre she does present the reader with a consistent story line as the action builds to the final outcome. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of this series as I want to see what fate has in store for Kate especially with her firm’s managing partner, Randall Barrett. Something is simmering under the surface with these two. It will be interesting to see where Ms. Callow takes this relationship as Kate defends Randall when he’s accused of domestic abuse and the murder of his ex-wife in Indefensible due out January 2011.
If you enjoy suspense/thrillers with strong female lead characters pick up a copy of Damaged today. I’m giving away a hardcover edition of Damaged.

thanks for the review!
the book definitely sounds intriguing. i wasn’t sure if i wanted to read it at first or not, but i think i’m going to add it to my tbr now.
i completely agree with you on mystery books opening up with a bam. i hate it when there’s so much background information and not enough action.
It’s always fun to discover a new author who does this genre well!
Dear Marcia,
Thank you for the lovely review of DAMAGED. So glad you enjoyed the dynamics in the book!
Best wishes,
Pamela Callow
