OPEN THE WINDOW!,
By
This review is from: Hush Little Darlings (Paperback)
Sarah Spooner is back, folks, but she's wised up a tad since our first go round with her in "Where Shadows Fall." She's wisely jumped her former husband's ship and is now a full time sleuth. In this story, 4 young girls are abducted by a shadowy figure who plays soft music, fills their nostrils with the aroma of strawberries and their lives with fear. The girls all have an artistic bent of some type. Don't worry, folks, the culprit is caught, thanks to our bloodhound Sarah and it turns out the culprit is a man she knows and trusts! There is no surprise here, but there are some good laughs at the implausibility of the whole story. You don't need the Lysol for this one. Just open your windows and let a fresh breeze come by. This one doesn't stink as much as the first Sarah Spooner installment.

A Fairstein wanna-be,
By Kel "acountkel" (Charlotte, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hush Little Darlings (Paperback)
Sarah Spooner is an assistant DA in NY and she is on the "Velvet Viper" case. He's abducted four young girls and all have been let go. "All they can remember is a stange dream of black velvet walls, fragrant flowers and soft tinkling music." Sarah is teamed up with veteran detective Bullard. They are at odds from the start and Sarah takes it upon herself to do some of the detective work, against the direction of her boss, DA Hodges. This is the first book I have read by Kelman. I wasn't impressed. This was written like a Fairstein wanna be. The plot was interesting but the storyline dragged. The ideas were not completely organized and somewhat unrealistic. In the sections where the suspense picked up, I did find myself on the edge of my seat, but it was short lived.
