This review is from: Deadly Admirer (Paperback)

In Vanessa Wooten, Christine Green has created an annoying and unreliable victim for Kate Kinsella to protect. She claims she's being stalked, but she's apparently been saying this for years. She's paranoid and more than a little strange. Right up until the end of this strange little book, we don't have any better feeling than Kinsella does whether the threat is anywhere except in Vanessa's head.

The book does get tangled up in its own feet at a certain point by introducing too many characters and too much information. Still, for me, it gives a lot of hope for the writer/series.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first Kate Kinsella mystery that I really loved, April 21, 2009

I think it's the screwball character of Vanessa Wooten that really made this movie for me. The hopelessly paranoid (or is she?) client makes a great contrast for the rather inept detective, and there is honest suspense towards the end as to the fate of poor Vanessa.BTW, one reviewer reviewed the wrong book...no haunted houses in this book. Sorry about that.

I enjoyed following the sleuth Kate Kinsella as she roamed the town pciking up clues. It was a very light yet intriguing read and reminded me of the TV show 'Murder She Wrote'.
