Young Anna Travis has been assigned to her first murder case - a series of killings that has shocked even the most hardened of detectives.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fast paced thriller,

This review is from: Above Suspicion (Paperback)
This was a very quick and entertaining book to read. At times it is rather graphic but it moves quickly past these bits. It is one of the better English novels that I've read.

Predictable, with uninventive dialogue,

This review is from: Above Suspicion (Paperback)
This book seemed more like a boring and drawn out made for TV movie than a suspenseful mystery novel.The characters are stereotypical, lack depth and use recycled dialogue. The plot was unneccessarily drawn out and extremely predictable. I couldn't put the book down because I kept hoping that it would get better...it didn't.
