Editorial Reviews

Review

Emotional and completely enthralling, Paloma is a rollercoaster ride of intrigue and deception. A great read. -- Roundtable Reviews

Max Laurent is reminiscent of Micheal Connelly's loner detective, Harry Bosch...Really rather clever narrative. -- Tregolwyn Book Reviews

RECOMMENDED READ Fast-paced romantic suspense novel about a woman with three identities who is being pursued by an assassin. -- Online Review of Books and Current Affairs

Romance and suspense that keeps you on a roller coaster ride filled with blood-rushing excitement. -- Coffee Time Romance

From the Publisher

In "Paloma," Ms. Lavid tells a terrific story that seamlessly melds both suspense and romance. Much like The Fugitive, with the backdrop of a chase and a looming homicidal maniac, the main characters address past mistakes, regrets and redefined their lives to each other, as well as to themselves. "Paloma" is a contemporary, urban story with a Latina protagonist that delivers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paloma - A Pure Mystery, January 16, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I just finished reading Paloma by Linda Lavid - A Laurent & Dove Mystery and found it to be a on the edge of your seat type of mystery's. You will have problems reading this book because you won't want to stop from Chapter One through the final chapter number Thirty-One. The two main characters, Max Laurent and Paloma Dove seem to have a love hate relationship throughout the book and the reader is clued in why from the beginning till the very end. The author's skills in developing the characters gives you a perfect picture of how they look and how their personalities react. I enjoy a good mystery and Paloma by Linda Lavid is a good mystery, I feel confident you will enjoy it - so pick it up and start your readers juices.

5.0 out of 5 stars One is enough, July 17, 2008
This review is from: Paloma: (Paperback)
Having three identities posing problems. On the other hand there are plenty of opportunities to travel - probably more than one would want. Once I started reading this book, it was difficult to stop reading. I highly recommend it, with a word of warning: don't open the book for the first time at 11 pm. It could disrupt your sleeping patterns.

This review is from: Paloma: (Paperback)
A taut, can't-put-it-down story, with characters tightly drawn in a tale of larceny and lust--Enjoyable from start to finish!
