This review is from: Dark Fields (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was the very first ever murder mystery I read. After 20 years of romances I happened on this one by accident. Not being a "blood and guts" or "looking over my shoulder" type of gal, I was amazed at the fact that I couldn't put it down. The way the characters were sketched out grabbed you from the beginning. When you finished the last page, you wanted to find the next book in the series immediately. You didn't want to let Quin and Mike go. This is a definite recommendation for those who love a good murder mystery. Haven't picked up a romance since - T.J. definitely got me hooked!

This review is from: Dark Fields (Mass Market Paperback)

This debut novel by T. M. MacGregor is a stunning and compelling thriller. Her interweaving of the third person and first person (the killer's) narrative works extremely well and although the identity of the murderer plays on your mind at times, the final resolution is nonetheless shocking.
Quin St. James and Mike McCleary are good heroes, and their intense and complex backgrounds are very appealing. MacGregor also peoples her book with other interesting characters, including the victim Grant, Mike's squeeze Robin, and the sleezy Paul. The plot moves along well, and the suspense never lets up. A great book; am eager to locate others in this series, as I am not particularly fond of her latest "Dean Koontz" ripoffs.
