Product Description

Product Description
Christopher Townsend, Development Officer of Bartlemas College, was reportedly drunk when he plunged from the top of the Tower of Grace. His tragic death does, however, lead to an offer of work for novelist Kate Ivory - finishing Townsend's preparations for the 'Gender and Genre' study fortnight. Kate is doing Bartlemas a favour by taking his place - so why do her new colleagues seem so hostile towards her? And who left the note on one of Christopher's files which reads CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT? When Kate receives some threatening messages of her own, she begins to wonder if Christopher's death was an accident after all. Perhaps he had stumbled on to something he shouldn't have. And perhaps, by stepping into his shoes, Kate has now put her own life in terrible danger...

2.0 out of 5 stars There is not enough plot to hold the reader's attention, 28 May 2000
By A Customer
The book flows along pleasantly the heroine is one to identify with but......! there was not enough story in it. I found it lacking in movement and plot development. The heroine did nothing to account for the attacks on her life. And when the reasons for this appeared they were not detailed either, a quick reader could miss the point. There were a number of very good ideas e.g. heaven's gate, the picture of a community of small thieves. The characters could have been more interesting with more work done on them and the plot was to simple, too straightforward. I read this kind of book to provide relaxation and to use up an hour or two when I want to be transported from humdrum life, but this one did not work for me. I think it was more like a magazine story than a book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, 16 Jul 2001
By A Customer
I was very disappointed by this book, as I had read one of the earlier ones in the series and quite enjoyed it. One can accept that the Famous Five get involved in "adventures" on all their holidays, but there isn't much excuse for Kate Ivory, who not only courts disaster but does nothing to avoid it when it comes her way. Apart from that, she is not a very likeable person and I found myself wishing that the murderer would catch up with her before the police could save her. The other characters are very poorly-drawn. I had to laugh when I read the comment that one of the women "couldn't help speaking in cliches" because, let's face it, ALL the characters do so. I'm afraid this author must have exhausted her talent in her first couple of novels.
