Kate Conway Mysteries
review 1: This was a light-weight murder mystery read. I really never was made to empathize with any of the characters except maybe one of the murderers. These "I'm a something, but I stumbled into a murder investigation and I must be able to do a better job than the detectives" stories are so unbelievable. Choose a book with more meat unless you need a mindless read. I recommend Baldacci for real characters, a good plot with unexpected twists.
review 2: Wow, what a disappointment. After her first Kate Conway mystery I couldn't wait to read this. The author introduced so many interesting characters and I figured after doing such a great job setting the stage in her first book, this one would develop these characters further while weaving them into an interesting myst
... moreery. Wrong on both counts. There is no depth to this book at all, and the mystery is just plain dull. It felt more like a check list of characters, Q & As, and clues to get through. The restaurant and jail settings were also flat. less

This was my first read by this author. I thought it was suspenseful enough to keep my attention.

Potentially great story line, but I didn't really care much about the characters

I love Clare O'Donohue's books. Kate is a very true to life character.
