She's beautiful, street-smart, and hoping to leave her troubled past behind her... Makedde Vanderwall has finished her studies and is ready to start practising as a forensic psychologist. She's also starting a new life in Australia with her detective boyfriend Andy Flynn. Hoping to scrape together some extra cash, Mak begins doing part-time work for an infamous Sydney PI. With a knack for investigation and bending the law, Mak might just have stumbled across her true calling and the career choice that could finally bust up her relationship once and for all. Then she is hired to investigate the murder of highflying PA Meaghan Wallace. The police believe it's an open and shut case: a junkie street-kid is guilty. But Mak discovers that the case is a lot more complicated and if the boy didn't kill Meaghan, then who set him up? And how far will they go to keep their guilt a secret?… (més)

Lots of padding in this one and yet another major blunder with an un recorded confession taken by Hunt used in the plot line. Too many references to the Stiletto Murderer and repeating preciously known things from the series. Not so much a page turner as the previous books in the serious and no climax but fun holiday reading nonetheless. ( )

Another typical Tara Moss 'whodunit' book. I enjoy Tara/Makadde novels, others I know, do not. I will be watching for another episode in Makadde's life. It was certainly not the worst book I have borrowed, and will happily return for more of Makadde. ( )

I enjoyed this Makedde Vanderwall story as the character had developed greatly since her first appearance in Fetish. She is more rounded and more in charge of her life, less of the victim. Unfortunately, when I think of Makedde, or Mak as she likes to be called, I can't help but picture the author who like her character is an ex model and has moved from Canada to Australia. I'm sure there are many differences, the least of which is that Mak has blonde hair and the author doesn't.

One negative about the writing style is the way conversations are drawn out. One character will say something and then there are a couple paragraphs of narrative and before a few words from the other character before you have another couple of paragraphs of narrative. These drawn out conversations kind of put a brake on the story, usually when you are about to find out something interesting.

I look forward to the next book in the series. ( )

The plot of this was all the kept me reading and I was displeased to find that the ending amounted to "to be continued". I did not engage with any of the characters and the author's determination to show and tell would have been irritating even had she used a less repetitive vocabulary. This is an interesting premise wasted. ( )

My first Tara Moss book in awhile :) I really love the way she writes her lead character, Mak, as an independent woman who doesn't wait around for someone to help her out; she just does her own thing even though she's in a relationship. I admire that.

However, I don't "buy" the relationships Mak has with her female friends. I don't know why; maybe it's the way the friends, namely Loulou, are written. I don't buy Loulou is real; she just comes off like a cartoon character.

The crime elements of these books are fantastic, IMO. I really enjoy the glimpses into the killers frame of mind as well as the detectives, getting the perspective from all sides not just the central character. To do that convincingly is very difficult but Moss pulls it off easily.

The books are great stand alone novels, but also work well as a series. I look forward to reading the next one :) ( )
