review 1: This is the third of a series (the 1st is The Sex Club) revolving around Detective Wade Jackson and Kera, a nurse at Planned Parenthood. Sad to say I did not have the 2nd in line, but Thrilled To Death actually stands up alone without feeling like you're missing anything.Young women are disappearing and it hits really close to home as one of the missing girls in her daughter-in-law. Mix in some rich important city founders and Detective Jackson's health issues and it becomes quite a rollercoaster ride.The main characters are not cartoon characters. They have flaws and issues to work through .. just like the rest of us. The secondary characters are interesting, as well, and I'm looking forward to seeing them grow throughout this series.The book is well-written, and every... morething pulls together while you're still scratching your head. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, as I did the first. I will definitely be getting the rest of the series. I highly recommend this book for any mysterious buff who doesn't want a 'cozy' and doesn't want the hard-boiled psychological thrilles filled with blood guts. This fits in quite nicely.(Strong Mystery Reviews)
review 2: Another one from the new book shelf at the library, where I regularly grab stuff in search of new authors, because I read 'em faster than they write 'em. And I do grab ones that are obviously self-published, because who knows, someday one of them might actually be good. Usually, I'm not surprised to find that the self-published ones are awful, but this one did surprise me: it's well-written, good characters, interesting plot, and none of the problems I am used to seeing in self-publishing (those problems usually include not just copy editing lacks such as typos and incorrect punctuation, but also horrendously bad dialogue, long barfing info-dumps, and serious continuity glitches.) I am pleased to say this is as good as many hardcover series from big publishers, and better than some of those! The only slightly gimmicky touch is the obscure chronic disease our protagonist gets diagnosed with; one has the feeling that the author has a relative or something that has this, and decided she just HAD to work it into a story somehow. Not a big complaint, and goodness knows there are lots worse gimmicks out there. I will go back and read the earlier books in this series. This is one of the finds that keeps me browsing the library shelves: sometimes the grab-a-new-author technique works! less
