Could anyone tell me if the St Cyr mysteries are gory or anything? I love a good mystery, but would rather not have explicit descriptions of mutilated corpses or anything like that. Need a new writer and hoping this series will fit the bill
Have read and enjoyed all of the St.Cyr books.
Just finished reading “Good Time Coming”! Absolutely wonderful. I am in awe of all the incredible research you did for the book. I must say that you truly brought real life into your characters. I have never had a true interest in the Civil War History, but your book brought such passion and reality into the situation of the characters that I was left with a lump in my throat and a new special regard for its history. Thank you.
I have been reading the St Cyr series for a few years. I have them all except for the newest one. I want to try some of her other work. These books have been read and reread many times.
Best series. I am reading them all! Just bought three more to add to my two on my shelf ready to be read. And reading book #3.
Great writing.
Thank you.
An enjoyable series. I wish her historical romance and thriller series were available as audiobooks
I have listened to most of the books through Hoopla – most libraries allow you to access a huge collection of audio books for free from hoopla so check out your local library.
I also suggest the Veronica Speedwell series.
Oops was referring to the St Cyr series.
Just became acquainted with C.S. Harris and the Sebastion series. Love it. Looking forward to buying more of the series.
Good Time Coming was exceptional, your research was incredible. Hope to see more like this and, of course, St Cyr novels. Thank you.
Have come to find these books exceptional.
The story lines and historical facts that are woven into them outstanding.
My library has most of them and only too happy to purchase the ones that they don’t.
Can’t put them down and read well into the night.
Look forward to any further books published to read.
Love Love LOVE the series. My only complaint is that I read faster than she can write.
What a thrilling collection of stories about Sebastian and Hero St. Cyr. My daughter and I are both reading them, finding that we finish one and pick up the next. Thank goodness our library has all you’ve created to date. When can we expect the 2022 edition? Keep on writing!!!
Hey, thanks for being here. This page is most helpful. I love C. S. Harris and would like to have the last four books in the Sebastian series. You are great!
