Piatkus & Portrait

One of a series - I wish I'd known before I started this as many nuances are lost by not knowing the background of main characters, the detective and her partner.

Good dialogue but quite slow in the beginning, picking up later. Obvious thought that it had to be one of the four good friends who dunnit, which made the exploration of friendship a little superfluous. While not having read any other previous books, this had the feel of mass production.

A slightly different crime novel, from a woman's perspective - hardcore immigration agent Sonia Knight, a human trafficking victim turned cop determined to bring down the biggest human trafficking gang known to the FBI.

I have read a number of vampire novels and of course watched a great number of films. It is one of my favourite genres and always look forward to finding a new title. This is the first Keri Arthur novel I have read and the story is quite gripping. As a debut it is full of excitement and passion, and the streaming passages convey this wonderfully, but it did leave me feeling a little out of breath.

Reece Gilmore the subject of Angels Fall by Nora Roberts had me on the edge of my seat whilst fighting the nightmares of a crime she wittnessed sometime before she arrives in Angels Fall and decides to stay and as luck would have it while exploring the town she witnesses another crime but no one believes her.

The trouble is the local law inforcement officer finds out about her previous witness statement and decides because it had lead to her being in a mental hospital that she is not a person to be trusted, but one person does believe her and so the story continues.....

Nora Roberts had me yet again on the edge of my seat as I read Heavan & Earth. Her main charactor RipleyTodd is perfectly content with life but discovers she has special powers that not only frighten her but confuse her - though she tries hard to hide them, she can not get them under control.

She meets a handsome man by the name of MacAllister Brooke who has come to search out the stories about the Three Sisters Island and the rumours on witchcraft that haunt the Island. But I won't say more you need to read the book.

Immortal in Death by J D Robb is a fabulous read, I could not put it down - a great murder mystery.

With its twists and turns of Eve Dallas the new lieutenant in homicide is soon to be married but it looks as though her marriage will have to go on hold when her two lives collide.

The murder victim is one of the most sought after woman in the world. Robb knows her subject matter well and describes every twist and turn of this mystery story with her amazing talent with words and discriptive language.
