review 1: I didn't think I would read this one so soon after the first in the series, but I had a little Kindle Apps troubleshooting session, and I though a little pulp would be a good interlude to a weighty non-fic pick. Sadly, I don't have many good things to say. I mean it's fine. It's beach reading. It's don't-think-too-hard material. But both the plot points and twists are clunkier than the debut, and the ending seems so rushed. You may have to suspend yourself higher than normal here. It was a $1 at the time of purchase for me, so if you find a similar bargain, I can't tell you to avoid it if you've already gone down the Celia Hagen rabbit hole, but if you're new to the author, and you're wondering where to start, I strongly suggest A Small Fortune. You don't even really need ... moreto jump to this one afterwards. It's good on its own.
review 2: Didn't like this as much as the first one. Celia has become just a little too frenzied for me. When she really can't handle pressure, (all that fainting, vomiting and swearing), why does she not just leave everything in the hands of the authorities? Makes for a good story line, I guess, but I just can't believe that a 40 something-year-old writer is going to do a better job than the C.I.A. or Interpol.Just came home from a trip to Zurich myself, so, once again, I did like the authentic settings she uses. It's a fun read, but that's about all. less
