Some of them are people who know the main characters well-like Wavy's cousin or Kellen's business partner-but others are strangers who meet Wavy and Kellen in passing. That's how I chose many of the secondary narratives for All the Ugly and Wonderful Things. I like to pivot to characters on the periphery of the main story, because they frequently have perspectives I want to see. Every character who shows up in my novels is somebody with a story, and because I'm a compulsive writer, I tend to write down those stories, just in case I need them later.

Do you have to have read the previous books in the series to enjoy and understand this one? Probably not, but I really would suggest you read at least The Watcher before this one to fully appreciate the underlying story. We first learnt about Egan’s infatuation with Sofia in the last book in the series ( The Watcher) – while Sofia has been in the series almost from the start. We finally get our Romanian Romeo Egan’s story with the woman of his dreams – independent, stubborn Doctor, Sofia. So we’ve come to the end of the Men of Hidden Justice series and somehow Ms Moreland still manages to make this last book just as entertaining and gripping as the first. ![]() |
