3.0 out of 5 stars
A few problems,
By A Customer
This review is from: Act of Betrayal (Paperback)
Buchanan's Britt Montero is a tough independent woman--which is always nice to see but her relationship with her fictional partners is weird. In ACT OF BETRAYAL, the reader is never privy to why Montero and McDonald's relationship is on and off. Furthermore, the author never allows the reader to glimpse, in any depth, what goes on in Montero's brain after the unexpected meeting of the two men in her life. I noticed the same lack of depth in MARGIN OF ERROR--as far as whoever Montero's present heart throb happened to be. The romances are sort of eruptive and then dormant. In addition to a lack of depth in part of Montero's character, a lack of depth was evident in other parts of the book. For instance, I found the reason behind Reyes' perversion to be very weak and unsatisfying. I also found that the plot would ebb and flow with too much detail and then not enough. The plot would nearly stumble and then rush to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Seamless melding of plot lines, very suspenseful,
By A Customer
This review is from: Act of Betrayal (Paperback)
Edna Buchanan writes about Miami as only she can. A Pulitzer prize winning former crime reporter fo the Miami Herald, she is totally familiar with her subject. This excellent crime novel mixes Cuban exile politics, missing boys and a fierce hurricane. The resulting stew is very tasty. It is all very believable since Miami is such a strange place anyway. Her heroine, Britt Montero puts herself in great jeopardy, but at the end prevails over the bad (VERY bad) guy and at the same time, learns a lot about herself. Highly recommended for mystery fans
