Can any crime readers remember this author? (Years ago)

[cocolepew]

It was a woman who wrote about a female police officer/detective (American) she was a single parent and used to leave her kids at home all the time and loved McDonalds.
Either her name was something like Sonja/Sonya or the character was.

I read maybe about three of her books then they seemed to disappear, I wanted to look them up.

Lynn Hightower Sonora Blair series!!!! It just popped into my head as I pressed post

Well remembered cocolepew!
Wow that takes me back.. Haven't thought about 'Flashpoint' for years! You're right though they did just fade away. A similar thing happened to a series by Martha Lawrence, don't know if you read them but they were around at the same sort of time I think. Involved a psychic PI.

Looking on her website I think there was one more Sonora book. She written a few more in a different series. I really liked them I wonder why she stopped? I haven't heard of the Martha Lawrence ones.
