Format:Paperback
For a first novel, this was outstanding, although if I was an employee of the Australian Tourist Board I would not be pleased with all of the book! The emphasis placed on security and the underlying apprehensions of the heroine make Australian society more threatening than I had previously imagined. The main character is very three dimensional and refreshingly "normal". The forensic detail is skillfully interwoven into the plot and there was real originality in the nature of the central crimes. The build up of the storyline is fairly slow, but I actually didn't mind that, and the pace increases nicely towards the end. The stye made for very easy reading. Comparisons will inevitably be made with Patricia Cornwall and Kathy Reichs - being honest, and making a strictly personal appraisal, I feel there is a freshness here that is somethimes missing these days in the writings of Ms Cornwall and I prefer this author's style to that of Ms. Reichs. If this turns into a series, I will definitely be buying the next one.

Format:Paperback
This is a first class forensic thriller that I couldn't put down. The story has so many parts that come together, and the way it is solved is incredibly clever. Even when I knew who did it, I had no idea how the crimes had been committed until the very end.
The lead character, Dr Anya Crichton, is different because she is likeable and very realistic (unlike some other female characters in the genre). In my opinion, with great characters, exciting plot twists and turns, and loads of forensic information, Malicious Intent is better than anything Patricia Cornwell or Kathy Reichs have written (am I'm a big fan of theirs).
I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who loves forensic thrillers.

Format:Paperback
This is a great debut novel. Usually, I don't buy first novels but I saw an article in the Independent where it was chosen as one of the top 3 books of the year. Now I know why. It's impossible to put down. Very pacy and packed with forensic stuff that really propels, rather than slows, the story. I read the whole thing in one day. The lead character, Dr Anya Crichton is appealing, and is apparently a series character, so I'll look forward to future books. Overall, Malicious Intent is a great read.

I've only rated this with 3 stars as I did struggle a bit to get through some of it, for me, there was too much waffle about nothing and too much forensic detail, both of which... Read more

Promising, to say the least
I'm in the decidedly provident position to have three of Ms Fox's books to hand and have, evidently, just finished reading this one.

If some one does not make a film of this I will be very surprised. Crime writting Ellroy would be proud of

In the Gerritsen mould? Maybe, but a long way from solid and lacking...
