In Lee and Jo, Harper has created Leeds' answer to VI Warshawski’ Danuta Kot, author of Praise for Ali Harper: “I adored this fresh and fearless duo of private investigators, wise-cracking their way along the mean streets of Leeds in this rollicking crime caper” Rachel Sargeant, author of The Perfect Neighbours ‘Lee and Jo are my two best girl heroes! Harper has in these two PI's created a team that I think will endure for a long time. I loved the humour that Harper imbued every page with. At the most poignant of moments, the gritty, down to earth humour had me chuckling’ Liz Mistry, author of Unquiet Souls ‘Absolutely brilliant crime read. Gripping and wittily written.
