Review:Once again, Kristen Ashley has given me a story I will go back to reread. Real characters that I like and care about and a dynamic plot that kept me riveted. Doesn't hurt that the women are always funny and the men are amazing! Read more

Review:Yet, another KA story that had me gripped from the 1st page. I know of no other author that can grip you from the 1st page and never get bored throughout the book. For You introduced some characters that I hope are the story lines for the rest of the books I will read in this series. Read more

Review:Loved the story. It never got boring or slow. I would recommend the book to anyone,even if they don't usually read who done it books. It made you smile and think . All the characters were interesting. Read more

Review:Definitely Hitchcockian, exotic, with an ending I didn't expect. It easily could have been written in the 1950s, the decade in which it is set, except it was written in this decade--this writer really captures the elegant writing style of an era decades before she was born. Hard to do, but Mangan is successful at it. By the way, why do several reviewers who are critical of this book all spell Joyce Carol Oates's name incorrectly? Read more

Review:I love this series...waiting for the next book to come out. This latest entry is missing a lot of interaction with regular characters who are only mentioned in this book. Very little steamy sex in this one either. Ooo, I'm embarrased.

The murders are interesting and her usual passion to solve them and close the case is there but I especially love the regular give and take with Feeny, Ian, Sommerset, Mavis, etc. They are briefly mentioned, but left out of the action.

I still reccome... Read more

Review:(this is for the audiobook version)

I've been looking for an "In Death" book that features Peabody more, because I'm getting really, really tired of Dallas. She's such a Suzie 1-note...every book is the same; Eve gets wigged out because some murder (no matter what the circumstances) throws her back into her traumatic childhood memories, she acts like Testosterone Trixie, kicking ass, guzzling coffee, acting as if she grew up on Mars & has never heard of things like parties, housewarmi...

Review:I've been a fan of these books and this author for years. I don't think I could ever be disappointed by anything she wrote. I love Eve and Roarke as much as I love my dearest friend. I'm happy to go along on their journey... wherever it might take them. Read more

Review:Other than a few too many asides that remove the reader from the the desperate situation of the protagonist and her young son, it is a real page turner. On several occasions I found myself skimming through some of the sections that I felt distracted from the compelling story line. Read more

Review:I got so irritated with the outline of this book. I hated that it kept going back in time in the middle of Hanna's thought process. It was painful to keep reading and the only reason why I stuck it out was to see who killed Joe. Read more

Review:Read other reviews for plot and character analysis.

I'm new to DFW, I'll admit. But I've extensively read up on the author and am familiar with his reputation as toeing the line between literary genius and madman. So, as I have with all fiction, I felt the compulsion to read his works chronologically so as to pick up on any subtle nuances in later works, and picked up a copy of The Broom. This rule has its pros and cons. Obviously, if The Broom left me confused and angry, it could dissuad... Read more
