Review
Praise for Paullina Simons:
Tully
‘You’ll never look at life in the same way again. Pick up this book and prepare to have your emotions wrung so completely you’ll be sobbing your heart out one minute and laughing through your tears the next. Tully could be any one of us – a young woman who is strong, full of hope and carrying a lot of childhood baggage. Her experiences of pain, despair and betrayal are offset by moments of dazzling joy, love and, above all, friendship. Read it and weep – literally’ Company
Tatiana and Alexander
'This has everything a romance glutton could wish for: a bold, talented and dashing hero, a heart-stopping love affair … It also has – thank goodness – a welcome sense of humour and discernible characters rather than ciphers.'
Victoria Moore, Daily Mail
Product Description
From the internationally bestselling author of The Bronze Horseman, the tale of an Ivy League campus devastated by the intractable mystery at the heart of a student’s death
Four students and their relationships lie at the core of this dazzling novel of mystery, murder and suspense, set in a snowbound Ivy League college. Their focal point is brilliant basketball star Kristina Kim – apparently happy and stable, but soon revealed to have hidden secrets.
When she is found dead in the snow, it falls to local detective Spencer O’Malley, a man who had half fallen in love with her, to investigate the crime. The spotlight falls on her three closest friends… and a story as gothic and intense as a modern-day Wuthering Heights begins to unravel.

I bought this after having just finnished The Girl in Times Square and having loved it and being pretty sure that I would enjoy other books by the same author. I wasn't left disappointed.
Red Leaves is the story of 4 college friends, a murder and a hunt to find which one of them did it. When the first police officer on the scene to find a naked girl burried deep in the snow and who hasn't been reported missing for over a week, Detective Spencer O'Malley (who also appears in TGITS) will stop at nothing to find out what heppened to the girl whom he met briefly a few days before her death, especially as it seems that all her friends have a motive and a chance to have done it.
Paullina Simons has an amazing ability to keep the reader gripped and wanting to keep reading on. I love it when I discover a new author and I know there's loads more of their books just waiting for me to read. I highly recommend this book and hope you enjoy as much as I did.

I found myself trapped by this book. My day passed unwillingly as I was unable to stop myself from discovering the next events of this ficton. I was absorbed into the world of Kristina Kim and her friends. And my brain was taxed as the plot unravelled and I tried to discover the perpetrator of the crime. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to all.

Format:Paperback
I didn't get gripped by this and found the last section definitely too long. I never felt that the 'heroine' came alive and I didn't like anybody in it; even the detective, who seemed interesting at first, turned into one of those tiresomely isolated characters whom you start wishing would get over himself. There was one piece of information that it was just too unlikely he didn't report to his superiors, which was done just in order to stage the ending. I found the surprises too laboured, and I got very tired of reading that the heroine was beautiful, as if that changed everything.
I was disappointed as I thought this was really going to be a page-turner (Anita Shreve, anyone?), but I might still try Eleven Hours and give the author another chance.
The book contains some astonishingly bigoted opinions about people who are adopted, so if you're adopted I suggest that you save yourself the irritation of readng it.
