5.0 out of 5 stars The first, and best book of the "Opara Trilogy", September 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bait, The (Hardcover)
This is one of the best detective stories I've ever read. The author, Dorothy Uhnak, is better known for her highly successful "Law and Order", among other best-sellers she produced late in her career, but IMO... the Opara Trilogy were her best pieces of work. They just had a certain charm to them, from the personality of the characters, to the settings, to her wonderful ability of description that makes you play her books in your head like a film. I guess the latter can be said to be a pro of all books in general, but she was better at it than most.

The heroine, Detective Christine Opara, is a tough, witty female detective, and a great main character that anyone (of either sex) can relate to. I immediately connected with this character, and felt like I experienced the emotional roller coaster she went on with her. Dorothy had a knack for making you feel like you were actually in the story you were reading, again, better than most (make that almost every) other author I'm familiar with. I'm not going to get into fine detail, as you're probably looking at these reviews to consider buying this wonderful book (which I recommend doing, btw). Discover it for yourself. You will not regret it, I promise. And when you're done, grab the other two books in the series as well (believe me, you will HAVE to if you read this one)... "The Witness", and "The Ledger".
