4.0 out of 5 stars Set Up for tension, May 2, 2000

This review is from: Set Up (Detective Inspector Carol Ashton Mystery) (Paperback)

With this book Claire McNab returns to the excellent form of her earlier Carol Ashton mysteries. A highly enjoyable well written book which gives the flavour of Australia without dropping into cliches. Both the main plot and the usual romantic sub plot are excellent. The book is full of suspense and the intrigue is maintained until the very end. Highly recommend this book for all who enjoy detective mysteries.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lost the plot, August 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Set Up (Detective Inspector Carol Ashton Mystery) (Paperback)

Claire McNab has lost the plot - the series started well but the story lines now seem to take second place to the inspector's private life. Carol Ashton while proclaiming a wish to stay with Sybil can't seem to pass up an oportunity to sleep with any woman that comes along. The sex scenes have become functional & unappealing. A shame.

This review is from: Set Up (Detective Inspector Carol Ashton Mystery) (Paperback)

This Detective Inspector Ashton's 11th outing. It could be interchanged with several of the previous outings. Someone is murdered, Ashton catches the case, she solves case, her personal life remains static. I keep hoping that Ashton will grow as a person, but she remains the same book after book. After finishing this one, I promised myself to read number 12 and if it wasn't an improvement, I will stop reading the series and move on - much as I wish Carol Ashton would.
