Why did the 2nd book end without a conclusion? Or have I missed something
I had this same question about “Gard to Kill” vs “8 Months Left”. So Thank You!!! In what countries is “HtK” called “8ML” ?
Also by the end of page 3 of H2K I felt it important to know if RJ had been guilty in “12 Months”; I know he was convicted, but was he guilty? Anyone? That will go a long way toward how I feel about Jane defending him in book 2.
Will there be another book
Unbeatable,ranks with the very best of thrillers. Jane Smith san her partnerJimmy Cunliff are excellent. I hope that there will be more in the series.
Will there be a third book?
Is there a sequel to Hard to Kill
I thought Hard to Kill was the 2nd Jane Smith book?
Hi Betsy! Good question – ‘Hard to Kill’ is the US name for ‘8 Months Left: A Jane Smith Thriller’.
