5.0 out of 5 stars Sam Jones on the village green, October 4, 2002

This review is from: Pretty Boy: A Novel (Paperback)

Holiday time finds our intrepid heroine Sam Jones and her long-suffering boyfriend Hugo out in the English countryside visiting an old friend of hers. Needless to say, violence and death follow Sam like flies do a garbage truck, and sure enough, there's soon a murder mystery to be solved. It is important to Sam, for her best friend is accused of the murder, and Sam must help him. To complicate the entire situation, Sam becomes infatuated by the "pretty boy" of the title, and that certainly doesn't help her rather odd relationship with Hugo. I found the story line quite easy to follow, and even though the ending was a shocker, I did not find it incredible, given the clues scattered haphazardly along the way. Sam's amorous actions, and her reactions, were a bit more difficult to reconcile, but she is a woman with her own mind, and what she wants to have, she usually gets, even if, in the long run, it's not good for her. This is an engaging series, and I enjoy it very much.

This (so far) final book in the series really shows her growth as a sleuth, but also as an adult. Should she kiss the pretty boy (and he is) or should she move to the next level in a real relationship? Now, I'm panting for the next book!

Laura has written a book that goes back to Black Rubber Dress with its style and mystery. It took me till the last 4 pages, where she tells you who did it, to figure it out. Once I knew who did it, the whole story feel into place. But, the story kept me on my toes the whole time.

Sam has yet again stumbled into a murder. This time her best friend Tom has been accused. She spends her time in a small town outside of London debating her relationship with Hugo and trying to figure out who done it. This story is a fast mind-tickling read. I would recommend it to any mystery reader.
