Her Best Work
7 Dec 2002
By montralatrice
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Once Again Eleanor Taylor Bland delivers a real to life suspense, mystery thriller in Windy City Dying. The Heroine-Marti MacAlister is a lady cop being tracked by a psycho/murderer but she doesn't know it. Many years prior her deceased husband (who was also a cop and was killed in the line of duty) had put this murderer behind bars for killing someone. Now the murderer is out and wants revenge but the cop (Macalister's husband ) is dead so he goes after her and all the jurors and the judge that placed him in prison for so many years. This is Bland's best work-I guarantee you will not put this book down until the end--and what an end it is. I love all of the Marti Macalister novels and hope the next one is just as good. The characters are real and the events really make you think about your own life and the decisions you make. Eleanor Taylor Bland is a gifted writer and I hope she continues doing quality work. Enjoy this book-5 stars.

One of the GREATEST female detectives!
15 Feb 2004
By Tyora Moody
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
For fans of Detective Marti MacAlister, this latest in the series is a gratifying read - sure to keep the determined reader up in the wee hours of the night. Marti has moved on from the death of her first husband, but unknowingly someone from the past has it out for the deceased cop Johnny McAllister.
Bent on revenge and fresh out of prison, Adrian Quinn still feels he was innocent of his horrendous crimes. One by one he hunts down the people he feels were responsible for his downfall (guilty verdict). Since Johnny has long been deceased, he turns his destructive plans towards Marti, her new husband and their children. Adrian's crimes leads Marti and partner Vik back to an old case from four years earlier involving neglected children. One of the children is now a suspect in a murder case.
If you have not ready any of the books in this series by Eleanor Taylor Bland, this book serves as a great introduction to one of the stronger female detectives in the literary world. Detective Marti MacAlister has never appeared larger than life. At times her tough side comes out when dealing with criminals, the men in her field or any injustice. On the flip side, her vulnerability is easily relatable when it comes to her family. All around a very likable heroine.
