5.0 out of 5 stars A smart and sexy page turner, June 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Flesh Tones (Hardcover)

This courtroom drama drew me in quickly. Rose examines love and obsession, focusing on romantic, passionate unions as well as familial, parent-child relationships, and she does it all within a tight and gripping plot. A perfect summer read and a step above the average beach book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A POWERFUL, PICTURESQUE STORY!, July 22, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Flesh Tones (Hardcover)

A real page-turner! I stayed up most of the night to finish it. Ms. Rose "paints" a superb, riveting story, with strong, complex, and fascinating characters. She is a great storyteller and the first-person narrative works very well with the detailed descriptions of scenery and feelings alike. Courtroom settings and dialogue are first-rate, with very thorough research, as is all the minute details about art and the art world. FLESH TONES is also a great love story, with a once-in-a-lifetime love, devotion, passion and desire. It is high drama, love, suspense and intrigue, with intricate characters and relationships.

Ms. Rose is a real winner with FLESH TONES. It is a sophisticated, intelligent, highly entertaining and very well written novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars A well written, enjoyable read, July 3, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Flesh Tones (Hardcover)

I don't know what book 'reader in Los Angeles' read, but it was not Flesh Tones. The book I read was well written, and like other reviewers, I found myself unable to put it down once I started. One of the best summer reads of the year!
