Sharpe & Donovan

review 1: This was the second book by Carla Neggers in the Sharpe and Donovan series. I actually liked this book better than the first one, SAINT'S GATE. The mystery/suspense of this book was paced well throughout the book. Carla re-introduced us to Colin, who is facing death when the story begins, and Emma, who is spending the weekend at Heron's Cove. However, in this book, Carla develops the secondary characters much more than in the first book. I learned a lot about Emma's brother Lucas, her mom and dad and her famous grandad, Wendell Sharpe. Readers also saw more of the Donovan brothers Andy, Kevin and Mike. I enjoyed learning more about these secondary characters because they gave me insight into Emma and Colin. I also hope that Carla continues to integrate them into mor... moree as this series continues. Both Emma and Colin are complex characters whose pasts often create challenges in their current life and relationship.The mystery resolution didn't come until the final few chapters and it was a surprise for me as to who was behind both Colin and Emma's cases. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, DECLAN'S CROSS.
review 2: When book three of the Sharpe & Donovan series (Declan's Cross) showed up on my library's "new book" display, I saw the cover that promised intrigue on the southwest coast of Ireland. That's how I began reading Carla Neggers' captivating series from the last book to the first. Book two Heron's Cove has its own fascinating setting on the coast of Maine, split between a wealthy artists village and a down-East fishing village. I enjoyed learning more about Emma Sharpe and her family of art recovery experts, and more about Colin Donovan and his tough, sexy brothers. In fact, there are many variations on a theme of Family throughout this romantic suspense, and Neggers does not sugar coat any of it. Families are a vital part of the solution in this complex story of theft, murder, and trafficking. I admire Neggers' ability to take the reader through twists and turns, from south to north, back and forth in time, from Russia to London to Dublin to Maine... and wrap it all up neatly at the conclusion. less
