'Bannister keeps the suspense as tight as a drum' Publishers Weekly
Product Description
Brodie Farrell has been asked to find some strange things in the course of her business, but this time it's personal. She's searching desperately for a cure for her baby's cancer. Attempting to keep the business afloat in her absence, Brodie's devoted friend and assistant, Daniel Hood, undertakes the hunt for a necklace stolen in a murderous robbery. Typically, his sense of fair play keeps him looking for the jewellery when a wiser man would have given up. After the first attack on him. Certainly after the second. Brodie's partner, Detective Superintendent Jack Deacon, investigates - partly as a distraction from his son's illness, partly because he begins to suspect that the hand behind these events belongs to his old adversary, Terry Walsh. But Walsh has his own agenda, and his first priority requires something that only Deacon can give him. What he offers in return presents Deacon with an agonising dilemma.

I love reading Jo Bannister, so I am really happy with this book. I hope she writes more Frank Shapiro stories

Liars All
12 Aug 2010
Format:Hardcover
A tragic car accident. A missing necklace. A local mobster. An infant with an incurable disease. This book has enough twists and sub-plots to keep anyone's brain whirring. This mystery was more interesting than Laughed 'Till He Died. I enjoyed the British setting and the twists in the plot, especially toward the end. Many authors, myself included, have a wretched end game. It is very difficult to write the last chapter of a book - the problems are all solved, the characters are well-known, all the loose ends are tied up. But this book had a satisfying ending, and not one that dragged out long after the denouement, either. I will probably see if the public library has any more books by this author.

Another in the outstanding Brodie Farrell series - the characters are so intricately drawn and human - you won't be able to put it down.

Time to End This Series
13 Jun 2010
Format:Hardcover
This series seems to have run its course. The characters in the earlier books, especially Brodie Farrell, were refreshing and the plots captured the reader's interest. Sadly, the characters have become intensely self-centered and endlessly self-analytical (especially that pseudo-saintly bore Daniel Hood) while the who-done-it tension is almost nonexistent. I did finish Liars All in the hope that it somehow would improve as the pages turned but no such luck.
