   **POLICE PROCEDURALS RESPECTED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT.™**
  
  “Carolyn Arnold’s love for law enforcement and providing an accurate depiction
  of their job is clearly evident in her writing. She is eager to have police
  procedures spot on, both in tactics and investigations. It’s this enthusiasm
  paired with her knack for storytelling and her realistic portrayal of police
  work that makes her an author that mystery readers would enjoy reading,
  including those with a law enforcement background.
  
  “You experience the emotions, distractions, frustrations, and successes of the
  characters in every chapter of _In the Line of Duty_. I found her heartfelt
  details to be spot on with a line-of-duty death. Being able to put such a
  tragic situation into words, is difficult in itself, but she does it with
  compassion, knowledge, and respect for those in uniform who know what it is
  like to lose a brother or sister in blue.”
