Ratings and reviews

I'm sorry, but sometimes I think there must be a single author who publishes under ten different pen-names. The wordiness, the repetitive turns of phrase like "her heart pounded in her chest" or "her mind raced with possibilities," are not just annoying, they actually distract from the plot, and are so common, you can't tell one writer from another. Add in all the platitudes and fabricated analogies, and you have a novel full of purple prose and little substance.

A gripping mystery that kept you guessing all the way through. You were feeling the same emotions as the protagonist - her frustration, anguish, determination, fear - as if you were there with her trying to solve the case. An excellent read.

It kept me from thinking about my problems and gave me a lot of reasons to keep reading about other people that might be in trouble for this reason I will read more of these things
