review 1: Too Close to Miss by John Perich is an exciting thriller that takes place in the heart of Boston. Mara Cunningham, photographer for the Tribune, knows that carrying on a relationship with a married man is a mistake and has put that behind. That is, until she gets a call in the middle of the night to tell her that man, a prominent attorney, has been shot. Mara will do anything to find out who shot him and why. But will she be too late?This is a fascinating thriller that kept my interest for about 95% of the book. Near the end of the book the main character does a sort of explain-it-all to a person who already knows what she knows. I don't like that in movies, and I don't like that in books. However, the rest of the story is well written and makes me want to check out more w... moreorks by this author.
review 2: When I can figure out what is going to happen in a thriller/suspense novel, it's a wee bit disappointing. So, it bummed me out when I figured out whodunit fairly early on, but there was enough going on that I didn't get too bored. I found it odd that the main character, who is smart and pretty and generally liked, has virtually no friends other than one or two who were actually friends of her married lover and who she probably shouldn't have even known on a personal level. It is also laughable that a person who could kill a life long friend and a five year old child would hesitate even momentarily before killing ANYONE. This is a light weight, entertaining book that you don't really want to think too much about. Good for car rides and such. less
