Reviews For Down for the Count

Down for the Count 5.0

The story keeps you turning pages to watch West confront the devils of crime and heart that imprison her. O'Callaghan captures a multicultural California landscape of freeways and fast food, one that reeks of money and stinks of pain and poverty.

The Washington Post

Down for the Count 5.0

Delilah is a tough P.I. with a realistic vulnerability. her mistakes and emotional turmoil have a refreshing realism.

South Florida Sun Sentinel

Down for the Count 5.0

Clean, springy action and a colorful cast...best of all is the appealing, brassy and vulnerable Delilah.
