Product Description

Review

"Author Fairstein's done it again! 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 'F


Product Description

Paige Vallis claimed that she gave in to Tripping's sexual demands because he had threatened to harm his son if she didn't. Alexandra Cooper, prosecuting the ex-CIA man, knew she had her work cut out to convince the jury, but before Paige could complete her testimony on the stand she is found dead - strangled in her own apartment building, just hours after she'd confessed to Alex that she had had a relationship with another ex-CIA operative. While the accusation of rape against Tripping is dropped, he has other charges to face, not least abusing his own child. As Tripping's defence team go into overdrive to keep their client out of jail, Alex, Chapman and Mercer set out to discover who so conveniently killed the woman who could have put him behind bars. As they peel back the layers of Paige's life, they discover a decades-old viper's nest of robbery and double-dealing and discover that truth of the adage of money being at the root of all evil - however old and 'respectable' it might be.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than Patricia Cornwell, 15 Mar 2004
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keep it up, please!, 27 Feb 2004
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Rollercoaster Ride, 15 Feb 2005
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.
