Product Description

Product Description

Abandoned as a baby and brutalised in care, sculptor Sam Foundling is the obvious suspect when his wife Cecilia is found beaten to death in his studio. Trish Maguire, who acted for him when he was a child, hopes he didn't do it. Her campaign for him brings her up against DCI Caro Lyalt, the senior investigating officer...and her own best friend. Evidence against Sam mounts up. Cecilia's powerful mother is pressing for his arrest. The police hierarchy want him charged. If Trish is to save his sanity, she must find out exactly what happened in the studio that morning, and time is running out ...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Greater Evil, 23 Mar 2007
This review is from: A Greater Evil (Paperback)
This is one of the best Trish McGuire novels, as always Natasha Cooper has a nack for not only drawing the reader into the plot but also into the lives of the characters she draws up so vividly. A great read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better and better.., 20 Feb 2007
By Mrs. M. Corran (East Sussex) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Greater Evil (Paperback)
I've read all Natasha Cooper's books, and had much pleasure from every one of them. They get better and better, both on re-reading, and as each new one appears. This latest, 'A Greater Evil', is the best yet. I found it absolutely riveting, and had to ignore all external interruptions and just go on reading until I reached the end. Trish has developed into a truly strong character, yet manages to combine compassion and generosity with her intelligence and understanding of the weaknesses of the human condition. Her home life with her young brother, David, and partner, George, avoid all the obvious pitfalls. Trish and George have learned to co-exist, rather than dominate or be dominated.
More specifically, the legal plot is excellent, since it has that wonderful gift of informing the reader about a subject on which this one is totally ignorant (in this case structural engineering, which sounds dull, but isn't a bit). The many intriguing subplots surround characters appearing in other books, their relationships and misunderstandings framing the deep characterisation that is so important in Cooper's novels. And, of course, there are also echoes back to Cooper's more distant writing past - and if you've never read a Daphne Wright novel, do so now!
Best of all, I didn't even guess who dunnit! And this is really unusual for me. In fact, the person I wanted to be guilty wasn't. Ah well. You can't have it all...
I enjoyed this book so much that it's hard not to overdo the enthusiasm. Read it, is all I say.

5.0 out of 5 stars Natasha Cooper just gets better and better!, 18 Feb 2007
By Dianna Bingham (Brisbane, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Greater Evil (Paperback)
In this, the latest outing with Trish Maguire, Natasha Cooper just get better and better - it was a riveting story both in terms of Trish's personal character, and her professional life as it clashed with her personal life from all sides. I have always loved the way this author portrays people - from her earliest Willow King series to Trish Maguire, they just jump off the page as human as you or I - living, breathing, contradictory, heroic, flawed human beings whose stories immediately draw you into their lives. This is the hallmark of a great writer and Natasha Cooper is one of the best.

In 'A Greater Evil', the victim of one of her earliest cases asks for her help. With Sam, I alternated between wanting to give him a hug of intense heartbreaking sympathy to wanting to punch him upside the head as his own behaviour almost leads him to disaster!!

As Trish tries to help Sam fight his demons, she is also burdened by being caught up in a personal crisis that could destroy all the things she holds most dear.

The author is on top of her game as the escalating events race towards crisis. I defy any reader to put the book down once past the first few pages. I couldn't. Call it a crime novel, a thriller or suspense, Natasha Cooper is first class.
