My Thoughts:
This is my first Leigh Russell read and I am glad that I stumbled upon her!

The story telling quality is good but for some reason I find myself needing breaks every now and then.

The plot wasn't very twisty for a crime fiction. However, it is not the twistiness of the plot that brought me reading enjoyment but how they got there. How the bad guy got caught. It is more about the journey than the actual end. Not that the end does not matter as well, because it does!

I got a little annoyed with the victims in the story. It was like they were running through hurdles to get killed! Geez!

This is my first Lucy Price-Lewis audiobook listen and I would buy audiobooks by her again.

Di Geraldine Steel Series Book 1

This was just an Ok read for me. The writing was all right and I really like the main character but it just lacked tension for me because you were always aware of who the murderer was. Didn't tempt me to read the next in the series I'm afraid. ( )

The writing is awful and I couldn't get past the first chapter. Also, I've seen the author trolling around GR promoting her book like a gutless trollop. I wish GR allowed negative stars but since they don't one star it is. ( )

Completed 1/26/11, rated 2**. Late in the story, depressed heroine Geraldine Steel has second thoughts about her career choices, ruminating about a change to bartender but then decides to continue for the time being as a Detective Inspector. I think she made the wrong decision. A bit later a school teacher calls her to say she has received a death threat from a suspected serial killer. DI Steel assigns no one to protect the teacher and guess what happens? Duh! There are other such head scratchers in this story, none of which Steel is raked over the coals for - which makes absolutely no sense to me. But more importantly this story has no zest at all, it plods along with the characters acting like dazed zombies going through the motions. Geraldine is a sad sack, with no life away from the job and the job is no great shakes; I have a vague recollection of hearing that things pick up a bit in story #2 but I think I'll pass. There are too many great series out there and this ain't one of them. ( )
