5.0 out of 5 stars Very good book!, August 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Flirting with Death (Peggy O'Neill Mysteries, Book 8) (Mass Market Paperback)

I think that "Flirting with Death" is one of the best books I have read. For me, going into high school, I had to read books over the summer to get into my honors English class. I found this book, and this is the first I have read of her series. I was very impressed with her writing, and the way she made all of her characters come to life.

The way the book reads, you think you have everything all figured out, and as it turns out, what I thought was completely wrong. New discoveries, and page-turners, were found in the last chapters.

Every scene explained its self and was easy to follow. The book is also set in the present time, so the language and characters were easy to understand.

Overall, I think this book has a great plot, a strong story line, well-developed characters, the text was very fluent and the dialogue was easy to comprehend.

Peggy O'Neill, campus cop, accompanies her elderly friend who is taking her dog to the vet clinic. While there, she is accosted by a man named Jason, who asks probing questions which soon become too personal for Peggy to answer comfortably. Shortly thereafter, one of the student assistants is killed and Jason confesses to Peggy that he has committed the murder. He continues to dart in and out of her life, terrorizing Peggy in the most unexpected places. She begins to investigate the life of the dead woman and finds out that all is not as it appears at the clinic. This is a tangled case, but Peggy finally uncovers the connection between Jason and the dead girl and discovers the truth behind the murders. This is another well-written Peggy O'Neill mystery.
