Final Showdown, but Write Your Own Ending
Review of the Amazon Original Stories Kindle eBook (December 13, 2022).

After several twists earlier in the series you would hope that the finale would provide a satisfactory resolution. We now get to see the actual jailbreak which preceded the doctor vs. patient confrontation in The Pain Hunter (#1) leading to a final confrontation of the lead criminal with our vigilante. But it all ends with an Unsatisfactory Ending Alert™ due to unresolved issues (no spoiler here). Frustratingly this same pattern is repeated in the author's later work The Rule of Threes (2024) (which includes some of the same characters), giving the impression that this is becoming a trademark.

The significance of The Broken Doll title becomes clear in this series finale.

Sixty-One Seconds is the final novella #4 of 4 interrelated stories issued in The Broken Doll series. ( )

Absolute quality from a genius of the written word. The fourth and final novella in this brilliantly linked series. Each story as a beginning and end, slightly disappointing in this case, but left open ended for the reader to decide. Each a clever engaging intriguing well written mystery with surprises along the way. Superb characters throughout some appear in more than one story to provide links to the series. One in particular the ballsy brave clever fearless and feisty Constant Marlowe must reappear in her own full length novel soon.
Completely recommended. ( )
