Product Description
Review
'One of the most promising forces in crime fiction.' - Patricia Cornwell 'The Kills is a roller coaster ride that delivers everything--breathtaking suspense in courtrooms and on mean streets, hidden treasure, rich history and compellingly real characters. A great book!" Jeffery Deaver *' She smoothly blends her vast courtroom and police procedural knowledge with flat-out great storytelling and poignant insights into the history of the city she clearly loves.' Harlan Coben
Book Description
Fairstein has the expertise and the experience, and it shows. THE KILLS is a white-knuckle ride through the back roads of history, the sidestreets of New York, and the chilling world of unbounded greed.' Kathy Reichs

Format:Hardcover
Was really looking forward to this installment and thankfully I wasn't let down. The twists and litle snippets of important information keep you turning page after page. Couldn't put this down and as usual wished it had never come to an end. However, I did feel that she rushed through the last few chapters to reach a conclusion. Never the less a really good read - look out Patricia Cornwell....you've met your match in Fairstein and Reichs.

This is yet another great book from Linda Fairstein; she just keeps getting better and better.
All the usual characters were there and the new characters were well realised. The storyline varied in pace but never dragged and there were some cool plot twists (some of which are quite subtle but nonetheless surprising).
If you're looking for a good night's sleep this is not for you as you'll be up all night reading it til you've finished!

Format:Paperback
Another gripping chapter in the lives of Mike Chapman, Mercer and Coop. As with all previous Fairstein novels this proved difficult to set down....resulting in many late nights. It leaves you wishing the next instalment would come quickly and of course that awful feeling that you wished it hadn't ended.
A definate for thriller fans - personally, much better than Cornwell or Patterson.

Rather an Unfocused Tale
This is the sixth in the Alexandra Cooper series, but this is the first of them that I have read. I did not think that not having read the others made very much difference. Read more
