I have been an avid fan of Patricia Cornwell since book 1 but of late I have been extremely disappointed and this book was no exception. It lacks everything that made her earlier books so gripping and I can't help but think that maybe this was written for the money. The plot is poor, the characters feeble and well, I did read it through to the end but only because I had paid good money for. I think that in future I will be giving her books a wide berth.

As soon as I started reading this story I loved it. Maddox and Ashlyn are great strong minded characters.

I will not bother going into the details as this has already been done but if you enjoy other Gena Showalter stories then you will like this one.

If you are fascinated by the hypocrisy of the Victorians, you'll love this book. If you want to read a great murder mystery, you should probably search out a work of fiction instead.

The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher has a wide charter: Tell the story of the murder of three-year-old Saville Kent in his English country home, describe the police investigations, relate the public reaction to the murder and investigations, detail what happened to the characters, help us understand our psychological need to read detective fiction, and provide new insight into the seeds of the crime.

Although the book claims to give us a fiction-like description of the murder and its investigation, Ms. Summerscale's writing isn't quite in the style: She's ... Read More:

One of Stuart McBride's more recent books caught my eye in a bookshop, but I decided to start at the beginning so I bought this, his first book.

It is an excellent book. Good storyline; complex enough (various children going missing, unidentified bodies being found), but there are enough subtle reminders to help you keep up. There are a few twists & turns as different strong suspects prove to be innocent; quite a good "whodunnit" element. I quite enjoyed the occasional humour.

Excellent characterisation. The main two characters in particular are very interesting, and I look forward to seeing them develop further in forthcoming books. There are plenty of supporting characters, making a very interesting cast, and plenty of scope to bring different ... Read More:

My husband picked up this book for me to read on holiday. I usually read something light when I am away. I am not a huge fan of Jane Green but had fond memories of working in a bookstore on Oxford st when Jemima J came out and found it utterly readable and addictive.
This book however was really disappointing. The characters are tiresome. Especially the main one - Holly Mac. I just don't have sympathy for this predictable and wet woman. Someone who is insufferably self absorbed. I cant feel sorry for a character 'stuck in a loveless marriage' whilst being able to sleep in and let the nanny deal with kids. (as well as living in a beautiful house who works part time as an illustrator and can buy anything she wants.)My heart bleeds. I would have perhaps had more sympathy if she were ... Read More:

A bit disappointed with this one. I've enjoyed all the other `Odd Thomas' books, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this one - it was just a bit flat.

I found it rather short and very single track. Nothing particularly supernatural - just a guy trying to stop a disaster while skipping over a lot of the details that I enjoy from an Odd Thomas book. Just from reading this one you can tell there is another one on the way explaining the significance of many items/people skipped over in this book. It felt like a prelude to a good story.

Although I found this book helpful I felt that it could have contained alot more practice questions. Half of the book talks about why you want to be a doctor and how to write your personal statement when really what I wanted was more practice questions which were in another book I bought.
