This review is from: Without Consent (Mass Market Paperback)

Kathryn Fox is a powerful new voice in thrillers. She has attracted the praise of Jeffery Deaver, James Patterson and Linda Fairstein and the praise is justified. Without Consent is the story of a serial rapist. The police suspect the very simple but disturbed Geoff Willard, who has just got out of prison for raping and murdering a fourteen year old girl. But Dr Anya Crichton has doubts about his guilt for the decades old murder. If she finds a colleague to be incompetent, she has to grapple with becoming a whistle-blower and in the process letting a guilty rapist go free.

The forensic info is stunning, new and really races the plot along. No lectures or wasted info here. Fox manages to write real, vulnerable but strong characters. Both good and evil characters are three dimensional and anything but cliches. Without Consent twists and turns at a rate of knots and I dare anyone to work out the twists in the ending!!!!! A five star thriller.

This is a great book. It was gripping and one of those "can't put it down" books. It was one of my first Kathryn Fox books and I enjoyed it completely. Would recommend it to others to read.

This review is from: Without Consent (Mass Market Paperback)

This was a fast read, populated with the kind of out-of-bounds forensic scientist modern entertainment serves up these days. I found the freeze dried dog kinda funny though. Anya, well intentioned, nearly trod into too stupid to live territory.
