4.0 out of 5 stars
Thought provoking and a good read,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Players Come Again (Kate Fansler Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
Amanda Cross writes 'literary' mysteries. There are no shoot-em-ups or violence. The mysteries are not to mysterious, either, that is to be admitted. Nevertheless if you like the character of Kate Fansler and her husband Reed, (and I do) you'll like the books, and the background of this one is intriguing. A man has written a famous book on the female experience, called Ariadne (after the Greek character) - turns out his wife has 'rewritten' the book from a woman's point of view... This book is best enjoyed if you are familiar with the series. Everyone should start at the beginning and read on from there!

Good literary mystery,
By Moe811 (New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Players Come Again (Kate Fansler Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
There has always been a rumor that the books of Emmanuel Foxx were more than inspired by his wife Gabrielle. A publisher offers Kate Fansler a large advance to write her biography. With the help of her granddaughter and her two friends Gabrielle's papers offer much more tan she bargained for.This is a much less bloody mystery than the average Fansler. It is just as interesting however. I found myself really getting into the characters and their stories. Very good mystery.

Generic characters lack mystery,
By ReggieRoy (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Players Come Again (Kate Fansler Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book should not be included in the mystery genre. There simply is no mystery. It is more like a romance or gothic. And there is absolutely no action. The characters sit in various living rooms telling each other their histories. Even the author seems bored with them by the final pages
