The most enjoyable book I have read in a long time, brilliant writing. I have read the trilogy and was totally burried/lost inside the plots, unable to put the book down. Amanda and Ted were made for each other.

After reading Crimson Lake I was dying to read this and I wasn’t disappointed! Cracking thriller with a hot and humid landscape to crank up that tension and uncomfortable situations.

I just love Amanda and Ted – the two Private Investigators in Crimson Lake who have interesting backgrounds and an interesting partnership. don’t worry if you haven’t read bookone, there’s enough here to keep you happy but still want to go back to Crimson Lake anyway which you should.

It’s now Ted in the spotlight here and having the tables turned proves to be very interesting indeed. It’s a very tragic crime and interesting to see how the accused acts and feels as well as those on the other side of the fence so to speak.

What was particularly interesting and gripping here was teh fact that the rapist who had committed the crime had kept a diary and that was both uncomfortable to read yet fascinating all at once. Getting an insight into what makes someone do this -seeing all sides of the case was like being at the front of the courtroom. As evidence comes by, Candice handles everything with ease.

That’s not the only crime involved here either. There’s also a murder in a bar. A double one to be precise.

Both this and the rape accusation create a drama filled with tension and humid rage. The setting is a character in itself and the whole novel is an expertly crafted read.

Cunning and intrepid these Foxes aren’t they?
