5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book In This Series!, August 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Suspicion of Guilt (Paperback)

This is the next book in the Gail Connor/Anthony Quintana series. It follows "Suspicion of Innocence" and is just as great! I'm so glad I discovered this author. This story follows Gail as she works on a case for a friend of hers from law school. Of course, nothing is what it seems at first. What looks like an accident really is a murder, etc. And the ending is so suspenseful ~ it will keep you hooked. I can't wait to read "Suspicion of Deceit" next!

This review is from: Suspicion of Guilt (Paperback)

The original book in the Gail Connor/Anthony Quintana series, "Suspicion of Innocence" was excellent. This second book in the series is OK, but the characters are becoming rather more stereotyped.

Some months have passed since the end of the first book, and although in that book it appeared that Gail Connor was starting her own law firm, that hasn't happened yet. Her relationship with the gorgeous Anthony Quintana is also somewhat more distant than we might have expected.

This book is about Gail defending an old flame who is contesting a Will. Much of the plot is about society links and internal machinations within her law firm. Anthony Quintana features occasionally as a rather annoying macho "saving the day" kind of guy who tells Gail what to do (she then does the opposite). I found this book a little unsatisfactory as I felt the characters had not really moved on from the first book, they'd regressed. If you want to know how NOT to carry on a relationship with a gorgeous rich man and with your daughter, read what Gail does. She also continues to display her rather dense nature (the reader is well aware she's wandering into trouble long before she is) and it sometimes makes you wonder how she got into such a high-powered job.

The plot is OK although a little complicated at times, and the end is perhaps a little weak, but overall it's a good book. If I had read it first I would have been less inspired to read the others in the series - it's definitely important to start with Suspicion of Innocence.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Gail Connor!!, February 20, 2001

I love the Gail Connor series by Barbara Parker!! They are about my favorite. Her relationship with Anthony is so well written. The chemistry between those two is so exciting and always in each book there is great suspense. I anxiously look forward to another book. I highly recommend you start with the first book in the series though to get the full effect. Otherwise it get's confusing because you will want to truly understand Gail's relationship not only to Anthony but to her ex husband, Dave. Parker is good at spinning a mystery and I can never put her books down. A great read!
