This review is from: When Some Body Disappears: The Third Brett Higgins Mystery (Brett Higgins Mysteries) (Paperback)

When Some Body Disappears is the latest book in this exciting series starring the very luscious Brett Higgins. The story is easy to get into and races along at a fair pace.Once I started it I couldn't put it down until I had reached the last page.The only disappointing thing was that the story was over before you knew it.It's a pity that the novels aren't a little bit longer.Anybody wanting to know about the plot will just have to buy the book which I can't praise highly enough.Roll on the next instalment -don't make us wait too long Therese!

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Inspiration, May 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: When Some Body Disappears: The Third Brett Higgins Mystery (Brett Higgins Mysteries) (Paperback)

Szymanski, once again showing her flair for writing gives the world one more masterpiece. This review is dedicated to the author, who has through her words inspired a fearful young woman to become strong, and proud. The novel not only exemplifies that true love can be found, and remain strong through her characters, but ads adventure, excitement and thrills to the reputation of a small town. Her writing provides an approach to capture any age. The novel that does not take on the political side of lesbianism, provides the enjoyment and reality that lesbians do exist. Szymanski should be praised for her talent and inspiration.
