Product Description

Product Description
Writer Kate Ivory can't believe her luck when she's head-hunted by a successful and modern publishing house. At long last it looks as if her days as a down-the-list romance writer are well and truly over. But it seems her good fortune is to be short-lived. Her new young editor, Neil Orson, falls victim to fraud and has to fight to clear his name and regain his reputation. And when the criminal responsible is found dead, Neil is the obvious suspect. It's up to Kate to find out who the real murderer is - and not just for Neil's sake!

2.0 out of 5 stars Damp squib, 26 Aug 2007
By M. Bennett "sudoku" (Vale of Glamorgan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Oxford Proof (Paperback)
The book started well and gathered pace. Details regarding identity theft and credit card fraud even had me worried about my own security arrangements. All the seemingly unconnected threads in the story began to have some relevance to each other and we were in for a cracking finale - I wish. Did the author grow tired of her story/feel unable to give it the final coup de grace/find the publishers deadline alarmingly close ? All dissolved into a bit of a feeble mish-mash type of ending - quick and convenient - why ?

'Oxford's successor to Morse' - oh please - that she certainly ain't..

3.0 out of 5 stars Have I missed the point?, 14 Nov 2002
I enjoyed reading this book - my first of the Oxford series - but found it light and unsubstantial - did I miss something? Compared to the likes of Tami Hoag for example it seemed superfluous, definitely not gritty or gripping, with insubstantial characterisation. It must presuppose an existing knowledge of Kate Ivory, whose character remains elusive even at the end of the book. A cheese triangle sandwich when I was hoping for vintage cheddar on crusty French bread.
