Lädt ... Never Sorryvon Edie Claire
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  funstm | Dec 19, 2022 |   I don't know why, but this little mystery really drew me in. I normally dislike the "protagonist falsely accused of crime" plot, but I tolerated it well in this book. I like Leigh and her cat, and her family and friends. This was just what I needed in the stressful closing days of the semester. (  ) tymfos | May 10, 2016 | Never Sorry Edie Claire Since I enjoyed Edie Claire’s first novel (Never Buried) so much, I was eager to pick up her second. Leigh Koslow is a fairly refreshing protagonist, though not quite as refreshing as she was in the first book. Also, I think I enjoyed Never Buried more because of the setting: poor relation (Leigh) staying with her rich cousin and best friend (Cara) in a big house. I love big houses and rich cousins! …And of course, the story itself in Never Buried was irresistible for its sheer audacity – a dead, long-embalmed body of a strange man turning up in the backyard hammock. It just doesn’t get any stranger than that, really. Anyway, this time Leigh is working part-time in a zoo, where the veterinarian is a guy she had a massive crush on as a teenager when he worked for Leigh’s father (also a vet). Well, one of the animal handlers is found dead, her leg in one of the tiger’s mouths. She was an old archenemy of Leigh’s from high school, as well as an ex-lover of Mike’s (the vet), and both Leigh and Mike are prime suspects. Leigh knows she didn’t do it, but she’s not so sure about Mike. The recurring characters, like Mo (Maureen), Leigh’s large policewoman cousin; Warren, Leigh’s college-days friend and best buddy; Leigh’s overbearing mother and easygoing father, are refreshing and fun to meet up with again. I do like the series and will continue to read them as they come out. ( ) victorianrose869 | Aug 8, 2008 | Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: Second in the USA-Today bestselling Leigh Koslow Mystery Series! "Edie Claire is a bright new addition to the mystery world. Along with appealing characters and a blessedly lucid writing style, she delivers a solid plot that keeps the pages turning. NEVER SORRY is ever entertaining."--Margaret Maron In this zoo, the most dangerous species isn't behind bars… With her fledgling advertising business a little short on cash, copywriter Leigh Koslow decides that a part-time job at the local zoo might be just what she needs. Unfortunately, stumbling onto a grisly crime scene behind the tiger run is not. When she realizes that the victim was her new boyfriend's ex, things look bad. But when the police discover that she was also Leigh's high school nemesis, things get worse. Getting out of this jam will require more than a little help from her friends, because if the law doesn't put Leigh away -- the real killer well might! "A witty tale peopled with very amusing characters…Claire does a fine job in plotting and the solution is bound to surprise you."--Romantic Times "This is a riveting, mind-blowing book with an ending that will leave you in shock. This book is well written, and the plot is perfect for any mystery lover. The characters are well formed and very easy to picture. Leigh comes across as a caring, strong-willed amateur sleuth. I loved this one, and with the cliffhanger Ms. Claire leaves at the end, I can't wait for the next Leigh Koslow book."--Mystery News "In her second mystery, Edie Claire again shows an affinity for solid plotting and engaging characters. Twists and turns abound in Never Sorry as Leigh learns what happens when the myth of high school crush becomes reality."--Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel "A fun romp of murder, friendship, family, romantic entanglements and junk food."--Pittsburgh Magazine "A provocative puzzler with a real grabber of an ending. You'll never look at a zoo the same way again."--Selma Eichler "Leigh Koslow makes for an engaging heroine who is believable enough for any reader to identify with. NEVER SORRY is a fun mystery with unexpected twists and turns."--Jessica Speart Originally published in mass market paperback by NAL/Penguin, Putnam, Inc. in 1999. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

While getting her new advertising business, Hook, Inc, up and running, Leigh takes a part time job at the zoo to pay her rent and buy food. She finds herself working with her teenage crush, Dr Mike Tanner - a veterinarian who worked with her father to gain graduate experience - and her home room seat buddy, Carmen Koslow (no relation). And then an arm is found in the tiger cage and Leigh suddenly finds herself in the middle of a murder.
The second book was a fast paced action packed read. The action was good and kept me on the edge of my seat. The romance made me want to scream. Leigh's crush on Mike was cringeworthy. I didn't get it at all. But to be honest, I didn't really get or like what the hell was going on with Warren either. I mean I can guess where it's going - but I didn't love it. That said, the mystery part of these books is fantastic - as is the friendship. Maura and Warren and Leigh are total BFFs and I love the total supportiveness they all have for one another. And Cara and Gil as well.
Maura was legendary in this. I love her no nonsense attitude and the lengths she goes to to protect Leigh from herself. Although as much as Leigh can annoy me I will say I did like that she sees Maura all stressed and tired from looking after her mother and volunteers the keys to her apartment to let her rest and to stay and watch Mary. I mean it was a master stroke of luck for her as well, (
The twist was interesting and I didn't quite see it coming. Overall it was a strong, well written mystery with lots of humour and heart. 4 stars. (
