Style and Substance,
This review is from: Take My Breath Away (Hardcover)
Is anyone who they say they are? How can you tell what is true? Who is being manipulated? Who is pulling the strings? There are puzzles throughout this stylish novel - mysteries within the mystery. Cleverer readers than me will understand the allegory earlier than I did, and relish every moment of the masquerade until the final unveiling - only to be offered a tantalising glimpse that, perhaps, the dance never really ends.

5.0 out of 5 stars
powerful psychological thriller,
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Take My Breath Away (Five Star Mystery Series) (Hardcover)
Legal headhunter Dylan Rees asks his friend former lawyer-turned one time published author Nic Gabriel to meet him at a Westminster gala in which he will tell him about strange deaths. At the party, Nic sees a dead woman Ella Vinton seemingly searching for Dylan. A bit intoxicated Nic tries to prevent the tragedy, but is too late. When she finds a startled Dylan, Ella kills him and commits suicide.
Nic thinks back to about five years ago when womanizing Dylan dumped Ella who committed suicide soon afterward; he attended her funeral. Still in shock, Nic follows up on Dylan's comment about questionable deaths. At the same time changing her name from Cassandra and her hair color, Roxanne Wake, joins the highly regarded Creed human rights law firm as a paralegal only to find some of their practices ethically stunning. Soon Roxanne and Nic will find their paths converge in a deadly scenario. With the Lake District police taking a breather, Martin Edwards provides a powerful psychological thriller that will stun readers with the two subplots and even more so when they merge. Character driven, the British legal profession comes across as amoral in which a life is irrelevant when it comes to taking care of the client as Roxanne learns with the Haycraft fiasco. Filled with twists, readers will be hooked when a woman from the grave commits a murder suicide. Harriet Klausner |
