A Mysterious Review of Rosarito Beach by M. A. Lawson. A Kay Hamilton Mystery.
Review summary: This first in series title has a solid thriller storyline and a strong sense of good and evil. The problem here is the lead herself, who is not the most likeable of characters. Still, the fast-paced and suspenseful plot tends to compensate for her many flaws resulting in an entertaining, if also somewhat uneven, debut. (Click here for text of full review.)

Rosarito Beach
M. A. Lawson
A Kay Hamilton Mystery
Blue Rider Press (December 2013)
Publisher synopsis: Bold, brash, and beautiful, Kay Hamilton is not your average DEA agent — she's as infuriating as she is irresistible. Having recently been transferred to San Diego after a case in Miami brought her more notoriety than medals, Kay once again finds herself embroiled in an international bust.
Tito Olivera, younger brother of drug czar Caesar Olivera, is within her grasp. If she takes down Tito, Kay is positive that Caesar will follow — and when Caesar falls, so does the largest and most vicious cartel in Mexico. But when a mysterious stranger shows up on her doorstep, all of Kay's carefully laid plans are thrown out the window.
The Olivera case suddenly becomes far more personal — not to mention dangerous — and Kay must be willing to sacrifice everything to get her man.
