If you like murder mysteries I would suggest you read this book. Ingrid Black is an author I will be following closely. It is gripping all the way through. Everyone I know who has read this book has recommended it to a friend. It is great to have some fresh talent in the crime books again.

The heroine of this tale is Saxon, an ex-FBI agent and partner of Detective Chief Superintendant Grace Fitzgerald. Saxon has a unique insight into the case and her relationship with Grace allows her access to the clues and suspects. Don't expect any sex or romance, however, as there isn't time for that what with the corpses piling up. Not all aspects of the story are convincing and the suspects (and red herrings!) come thick and fast but it is nonetheless an enjoyable ride and of refreshingly modest length.

Having read this book i thought it was a pretty decent murder mystery.
I was a little confused in the beginning as it took me about 3 chapters to work out whether the main character was male or female! Having worked this out however, the story began to unfold nicely. I had absolutely no idea who the murderer was right up until Saxon approaches them at the end. The story was believable, without being predictable, and once I got about half-way through the book I couldn't put it down! I would recommend this if you like this kind of thing! Sarah.

I knew who the killer was all along
I don't know whether or not it was the review on the back saying that it was a thriller where not a single reader guesses the killer but I suspected that character all along. Read more
