"good debut novel"
Any book that starts with, “Where’s my hooker?” as a first line has promise. A Necessary End is the debut novel of Gerry Mackay, a former Miami Beach police officer, introducing a blonde bombshell of a character named Katie Maguire. Katie is a twenty-three year old rookie police officer, with a black belt and a cutting sense of humor, recruited for a simple undercover assignment as a teenaged prostitute, hence that interesting opening line. Of course, the assignment goes awry when the CIA gets involved and Katie finds herself halfway around the world making some new friends, and some new enemies along the way.

It’s hard to tell the good guys from the... More > bad guys. Mackay gives a few interesting plot twists, and turns making the reader wonder what’s going to happen next. Through the engaging story, Katie’s past is revealed in an interesting parallel story line and the reader comes to not only root for the heroine, but also want more of her. Fortunately, the author leaves a nice little lead-in for the next novel.

A Necessary End is a good debut novel and I recommend it. Be careful, you may find Katie Maguire addicting.

"Couldn't Put it Down" A fun read, great story with very interesting characters. As each chapter ended I couldn't wait to read the next. I had a hard time putting it down. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait for a sequel.

"Fun to read" Would make a good X-Mas Present. If you like a good mystery, this is your book. You won't be able to put it down.

"Great Way to spend some time" A Necessary End is a fun book to read, you fly through the pages and the author keeps you wanting more when you finish.
Great way to spend a day when you need a break from the distractions in life and just want to relax.
