"I’ve read just two other books in five years that gripped me like this. I couldn’t put it down."
— Reader review of Love and Anger

"It’s incredibly relatable in the best and worst way. Best because it makes me feel seen. Worst because it makes me feel seen nearly 30 years after it’s set."

"She dates a man, she dates a woman - and that’s just how it is. It’s so refreshing. It’s jarring how well he’s captured the awe of women that women who love women experience."
— Reader review of Love and Anger

"Langley deserves high scores for the characterizations and twisty-turns plot development without falling into an outright trope."

— Reader review of Love and Anger

"A highly recommended, four-star novel (despite the dark underlying themes) because of the excellent insights and strong, relatable characters."
— Reader review of Love and Anger

"It’s billed as a collection of short stories, but honestly it reads more like a beautifully crafted novel told in linked episodes. Every story digs a little deeper into Kate Ellis - not just the detective, but the woman, the survivor, the person trying (and often failing) to hold it together."

— Reader review of Minor Injuries

" All in all, great read. The stories held my attention, the writing was good, and the book left me with wanting to find more Kate Ellis stories."

-- Reader review of Minor Injuries

"As the publisher’s blurb says she’s ‘a woman who happens to be a detective - not a detective who happens to be a woman’. The stories are all interesting, realistic, and occasionally open ended and they kept my attention throughout. I hadn’t read the first book in the series but I found this worked well as a standalone."

-- Reader review of Minor Injuries

"… the wonderful characters Kate Ellis and Paul Evans. I really hope that we get more about those two."
