Sloane Monroe

Created by Cheryl Bradshaw

Outdoorsy “sassy, headstrong” Utah private eye SLOANE MONROE isn’t afraid to leave the pavement, especially with her hunky police officer boyfriend in tow, in this well-regarded (well) series of self-published thrillers which have drawn enthusiastic online comparisons at various time to everyone from Sue Grafton and Robert Parker to Mary Higgins Clark (and even to some writers who aren’t even dead). One Amazon five-star “review” even praised her choice of fonts.

There have also been a few spinoff series of short fiction, including the Deadly Sins-themed novellas, the Sloane Monroe short stories, and the Sloane & Maddie books (co-written with Janet Fix and co-starring retired medical examiner Maddie LaFoe), all featuring characters from the novels.

Mind you, the author (a Shamus finalist for the Sloane Monroe novel Stranger in Town), has more than one series up her sleeves. She’s a New York Times & USA Today bestselling author cranking out mystery, thriller, romantic suspense, and paranormal suspense books in various series on a frighteningly regular basis, as well as a series featuring San Luis Obispo, California private eye Georgiana Germaine.
