Product Description

Product Description

Charlie Fox makes a living of sorts teaching self-defence to women. It's a skill Charlie picked up of necessity having been kicked out of the army for reasons she prefers not to go into. So when Susie Hollins is found dead only a few hours after she mistakenly tussles with Charlie at the New Adelphi Club, Charlie knows it's only a matter of time before the police come calling. Only the police reveal that the unlucky Hollins has become the latest victim of the homicidal rapist stalking the local area. Charlie finds herself inadvertently drawn into the investigation when the Adelphi's enigmatic owner Marc Quinn offers her a job. Viewed as an outsider by the existing all-male security team, her suspicion that there is a link between the club and the serial killer doesn't exactly endear her to anyone. Charlie has always taught her students that it's better to run away from a danger than fight unnecessarily. But when the killer starts taking a very personal interest in her it becomes clear that he isn't going to give her that option...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent new British crime heroine, 15 Jan 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Killer Instinct (Paperback)
If you like US female PIs (VI Warshawski, Kinsey Millhone) then you'll like Charlie Fox.

Charlie is tough. She teaches women's self-defence (which she took up after being raped in the army), rides a motorbike and is very independent.

The book starts with Charlie's friend Clare being attacked during karaoke night at a local nightclub by reigning champion Susie Hollins. Charlie deals with the attack and is offered a job as a bouncer by the clubs owner. Hours later Susie Hollins is found dead – the latest victim of a homicidal rapist that has been terrorising the local community. Charlie suspects a link between the nightclub and the homicidal rapist and she begins to investigate.

The book moves along at a cracking pace and Charlie is a believable tough heroine. The identity of the killer may be obvious in a plot that has been used many times before, but Charlie is interesting enough to carry you through.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb thriller, 14 Jan 2005
By Rachel "rachel337" (Brighton, England) - See all my reviews
  
This is a great book that starts a superb series. All the Charlie Fox books are fabulous and there are story arcs that sevelop between books meaning they need to be read in the right order. This is the first, followed by Riot Act.

Charlie is a very strong and independent woman.She is ex army special forces. she teaches self defence and she sometimes works as a bouncer. She is intelligent, likeable and believable. Although outwardly she appears very together, inside is a deep emotional vulnerability caused by serious violence and betrayal in her life. Charlie is the kind of woman who doesn't run from her fears, she embraces them and this leads to her becoming involved in dangerous situations.

If you are looking for a strong story with a heroine worthy of your admiration, lots of action and some cracking fight scenes, this is the one.

This review is from: Killer Instinct (Paperback)
A central character who is alive and believable, wrapped up in a plot that I found totally absorbing. I'll look for more from this author
