"A new force to reckon with in suspense" (Donna Anders )

4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoy Katia Lief's books and this one is no exception! 13 Oct 2011
By E. Heckingbottom TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Enjoyable ... yes!

Gripping ... yes! Certainly!

Hard to put down? It wouldn't be a book by Katia Lief if it were. This book held me right up to the end, and was typical of a book by Katia Lief. It should appeal to readers of both Norah Roberts and Mary Higgins Clark.

My only complaint is that I feel that Katia Lief has a tendency to hurry the endings, with the result that the endings tend to appear underdeveloped and a little disappointing compared with the rest of the book. This is a real shame, as I find 90% of the book to be virtually un-putdownable!

Well worth a try!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Twist Too Far 5 Oct 2011
By A. Chell VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Having enjoyed Katia Lief's previous novel "You Are Next", I was looking forward to the next instalment in ex-cop Karin Schaeffer's life, and - by and large - I wasn't disappointed.

Lief manages to write both emotion and action well, fleshing out both her characters and their surroundings to the point where you almost feel you know these people and places in the real world. And in the first part of the book, Schaeffer's search for her missing-presumed-dead husband is compelling and believable.

Unfortunately, that level of realism is somewhat lost in the latter stages of the book. I can't go into too much detail because of spoiling the plot, but suffice to say that the twists and turns of that plot, and the decisions some characters make in order to follow it, verge on the ridiculous at times.

If you're able to suspend your disbelief to a greater extent than I was, I'm sure you'll find this book very enjoyable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Special K Serial 6 Dec 2011
By OEJ TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
Three years after surviving a harrowing encounter with the serial killer who destroyed her first family, Detective Karin Schaeffer and Mac MacLeary are married and living in Brooklyn with their young son. They have found peace together...but then Mac's beloved parents are murdered in what appears to be a botched home invasion. Mac's despondency grows, he disappears, and soon everyone is convinced he has taken his own life. Everyone except Karin. Plagued by the wishful thinking of a reluctant second-time widow, she doesn't believe Mac is dead. When she thinks she spots him at an airport, she launches an investigation that leads her to journey into the heart of darkness to rescue him. Along the way, she discovers that her husband has a dark past she had never imagined.

With the benefit of hindsight I think I would have enjoyed this more if I had read the previous novel You Are Next first, as many of the events in that influence those in this one. But the plot is pacey and interesting with a fair amount of action and mystery. As for suspense, this tended to disappoint because suspenseful situations cropped up and were resolved too quickly. The disappearing husband's 'dark secrets' weren't as dark as I had hoped. So while it was generally interesting it rarely increased to 'must read one more chapter' excitement. Characterisation was no more than par for the course, I didn't really engage with anyone in particular.

Hide and Seek, which in the US is titled Next Time You See Me is the second in the Karin Schaeffer series. Katia Lief is only one of three names that this author has published under - she has written half a dozen other novels under her current married name Katia Lief as well as publishing others under the pseudonym of Kate Pepper. Her earlier published name was Katia Spiegelman. All a bit confusing, but basically she has been very busy, churning out a lot of books over the past five years or so.
