5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put the book down!, August 17, 2006

For a first time author, Peter James Quirk really got this fast-paced novel right. The story is about a female detective, Lisa Rossi who is trying to catch the killers of her dead partner. Along the way, she meets and falls in love with a ski instructor, Jean Loup. The romance component of this book is just right for a suspense novel (although personally I wouldn't have minded a bit more of it). Both the characters and story are believable.

You learn fairly early on who the murder(s) is, but there are so many plot twists along the way that the story keeps you guessing until the very end. Even the end leaves you wondering about some things which I won't divulge. Makes me think that there may be a sequel some day. If there is, I'll definitely buy that one too.
