5.0 out of 5 stars
Good suspense novel to the end,
By rosebrasch@connectexpress.com (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lady in the Car with the Glasses and a Gun (Paperback)
A different story than A Very Long Engagement, Japrisot nonetheless takes his time in this novel to tell the rest of the story beyond the climax. The resolution was satisfying to the very last page. I had just finished A Very Long Engagement and didn't know what to expect. Mysteries aren't usually to my liking; but I liked all the twists of this one. I also liked the female heroine and the way the writer let us ride her thoughts with her.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best murder mysteries I've ever read,
By
This review is from: The Lady in the Car with the Glasses and a Gun (Paperback)
As usual, Japrisot creates a character so personable and human, that it is impossible not to care for her. The events are complicated and unpredictable. Japrisot puts the spot light on the main character's weaknesses, letting us underestimate her in every way. But the end holds a surprise.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A wild ride with a fascinating driver,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Lady in the Car with the Glasses and a Gun (Paperback)
A beautiful, neurotic blonde impulsively takes her employer's white Thunderbird for a joy-ride from Paris to the sea. Along the way, she keeps meeting people who insist they saw her a few days before. The situation rapidly changes from amusing to sinister to life-threatening as she seeks the (shocking) solution to the mystery. I found some of the "how it was done" parts more than a little far-fetched. But the main character is an engaging woman, psychologically complex and far more intelligent than she gives herself credit for, and watching her discover her own strengths through her ordeal is fascinating and enjoyable.
