Out of Control
by G.R. Browda
Gloria Morris is a respected private detective with an explosive sense of honor who cherishes frisky ladies, reads Poe and Twain, believes in justice, and kicks a lot of ass.
Her investigation into the disappearance of a popular and notorious seductress, whose pervasive presence affects the lives of two compelling women, takes her to San Francisco’s sexual underground and the discovery of treasonous political intrigue. She is assisted by the missing woman’s roommate and lover, Clarissa, and together they engage in a cat and mouse scenario with a powerful femme fatale, who is Gloria’s chief suspect.
It turns out that searching for the missing beauty is only one of the problems they encounter. During the course of her investigation, Gloria meets an astonishing lady and begins a life-changing romance. But will this new relationship benefit her work … or deliver her to danger?
Honor In Control
by G.R. Browda
Gloria is a legendary, smart, and relentless private detective. She’s also a B-girl who has fallen in love. Though romance is in the air in San Francisco, so is debauchery.
While investigating the theft of some opulent jewelry, Gloria hears rumors about human trafficking in the area. Maneuvering through the streets of The City in her quest for the truth, she hunts amidst myriad thieves, murderers, musicians, cops, concert promoters, narcissistic millionaires, and a hedonistic femme fatale art aficionado.
Gloria ferrets out the truth. With firmness in the right and knowing action is supreme, she sets in motion events that result in harsh justice for the guilty and tenderness for the innocent. But the mayhem she causes—how will it affect her life-changing romance and her relationships with her colleagues?
Champagne & Thongs Take Control
by G.R. Browda
Bright lights but a dark city! Gloria Morris is a scholarly, vehement, and hard-boiled private detective, a force of nature who doesn’t suffer fools. She’s also a lover, and her inamorata understands her swagger and quest for justice.
Gloria must locate the runaway heiress to an industrial empire, a volatile young woman who is happy being on the lam in San Francisco, free of her family’s dark secrets and business responsibilities. She feels she can protect herself, and perhaps she can, but people connected to her are dying, and someone is pulling the strings.
Gloria navigates through The City, dealing with musicians, gutter punks, businesspeople, and the sexually audacious. Narcissistic lawyers, underground doctors, and hired killers enter the fray, and Gloria deals with them as only she can. But the runaway has a soft spot she was flabbergasted to discover in herself. How will it change her life, and will Gloria back her up?
Devotion Brings Control
by G.R. Browda
Revenge is a powerful motivator for action. So is love.
She wears violet lipstick. Gloria Morris is an esteemed private detective, a kindly woman who champions the innocent, a fearsome virago who dishes out harsh justice to the guilty. She’s also a lover, and her inamorata embraces her tenderness and will do nothing to inhibit Gloria’s explosive sense of honor. Local politicians know that the world is a better place because of Gloria. Her street contacts will kill for her.
Now Gloria must ascertain why people around her are dying, each one involved with a past mutual acquaintance. Businesspeople, underground doctors, lawyers, thieves, household servants, and hired assassins enter the fracas as victims or perpetrators. She investigates and unearths a femme fatale whose devotion to a dead socialite morphs into cold fury that fuels a murderous revenge. Is Gloria next on the woman’s roll call of victims?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Intense!
“Gloria is on a mission to locate an heiress who thinks she can protect herself from the dangers lurking. When the heiress finds herself vulnerable, Gloria faces tough choices.
As usual there is never a dull moment when Gloria is on the case. At every turn danger awaited her, the same as it awaited the young heiress she was desperately trying to find. As a mystery it is difficult to share too much about the story without spoilers but I had no idea what Gloria was going to find herself dealing with this time, and was even surprised by how shocking some of it was.
Gloria handled it all really well though, managing to have a few moments of light relief in between all the fast paced activity. Each time she uncovered something new, it led to further discovery that the heiress wasn’t as capable as she first thought she was. I was so glad she had Gloria on her case though. She’s tough, determined, and leaves nothing to chance.
A great addition to the series!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Gritty crime thriller!
“Private detective Gloria Morris is trying to work out why people involved with a mutual acquaintance from her past are dying. When Gloria realises she might be next on the person’s hit list, she quickly gets to work uncovering the truth.
Gloria is not your typical detective. I know her from previous Gloria Morris mystery stories, and always find her approach to solving cases unique. It is helpful if you have read the other stories in the series, but if not this also works perfectly standalone. G.R. Browda always gives enough for the reader to understand Gloria’s motives and past to help introduce her in each story. This time I really hoped she would start making connections before it was too late because she really was in danger herself. Even Gloria seemed to realise this case was a little too close to her personally for comfort. That’s what made her the perfect person to uncover the truth, she was right in the path of the person they needed to catch.
The way the story unfolds really takes the reader along with Gloria, having the same experiences and getting the full picture of what she knows. There is always a twist and this one was truly unexpected. With the motivation behind the murders being revenge, when Gloria had put all the pieces together it was fascinating how it all linked to one person’s devotion and desire for revenge because of their loyalty to a dead socialite. I have no idea how Gloria had figured it all out to the level of detail she had, but it just showed her own devotion to helping keep the streets safe.
Another great Gloria Morris mystery! They just get better and better!”
