Selected Reviews
I highly recommend The Burnt, an intriguing, semi-paranormal mystery, the best (so far) of The Declan Hunt Mysteries.
I’m looking forward to the next installment – Peter E. Fenton is quickly becoming one of my top favorite mystery authors.

I read until 2 AM this morning because I couldn’t put it down. This one will keep you guessing about what’s around the next corner or page. Next steps in relationship, abuse, murder, wealth, nurturing, caregiving, intrigue, lies, dead ends, coincidences, paranormal, character development, obsessions, new characters, alias, fruitions and still, what’s with Monarch. Brilliantly written and so far, Fenton’s best.

This was another fabulous installment in The Declan Hunt Mysteries, and i really hope Fenton will keep going forever with this series, because The Burnt made my heart ache and my eyes burn for justice and I’ll never tire of storytelling that makes me feel!
Ivana Reads A Lot -Goodreads Review
I love Charlie and Declan both as a couple and a crime fighting duo. They are perfect for each other.
Peter Fenton has taken us deeper into their world with the return of a wonderful character as well as series regulars. At the same time this is a tightly plotted mystery that will keep readers guessing until the last page.
Oh did I mention there’s a twist?
