review 1: The second book in the series featuring Frida Klein and I loved it just as much as the first one. How many times can you say, "I did'nt see that coming?" Fantastic! At times I was a bit confused, but, without giving anything away, once things play out, it all makes sense. I also ...

review 1: As mysteries should be, this novel was a page-turner from the first page to the last. The characters, especially the protagonist, Dr. Frieda Klein, were fully developed and felt like truly real people. There were enough plot twists to keep me guessing all the way through. The ...

review 1: i'm a tiny bit tired of this series, only in that the main character has some very erratic behaviour that isn't always explained (or admired). will she be diagnosed aspergers as we go along? honestly, i can't figure her out. That said, the book is lovely, small characters have bi...

review 1: This was the first in a series, written by a British husband and wife team. I am such an anglophile that I looked forward to the read. Fridea Klein, the book's main character, is a tad difficult to like as she is a rather withdrawn, orderly, insomniac. Wait a minute, I could b...

review 1: This is 3.5 stars and I probably would have rated this 4 stars had I not read Waiting for Wednesday first which completely ruined the ending of this book for me. I loved the mystery behind the book but I feel ultimately how Frieda caught the killers with the pictures was a littl...

review 1: Ook het tweede boek van Nicci French in de reeks over Frieda Klein kon mij absoluut bekoren. Al was ik al een fan van het schrijvsduo vanaf de start, ik vind deze reeks verfrissend, makkelijk te lezen, veel inhoud en alhoewel er veel verwijzingen zijn naar het eerste boek is het ...

review 1: The quote on he back says "even more gripping than blue Monday" and I would definitely agree. I enjoyed blue Monday bu it did feel very much like it was settin the scene and the story really picked up in Tuesday's gone. A dead body is found in a woman's flat. The owner of the fl...

review 1: I hadn't read anything by Nicci French before. It was.... good, but not great. I really liked the main character of Freida - I think it must be hard to write a character like her. She's so analytical and unemotional. I appreciated that, and I also appreciated that it was a woman....

review 1: This was a sequel I was awaiting for a while, and it was a very satisfying one. There is something so delicate about the way the author(s) write this character--you get insight into how she is feeling, and yet you never really know why, or what she is thinking, but it doesn't giv...

review 1: Als whodunit niet onaardig, maar (a) ik heb een instinctieve hekel aan Frieda Klein die bij elk boek groter wordt, (b) het begint vervelend te worden dat in elk boek uit deze serie de cruciale actie wordt ondernomen door de doodgewaande Dean. De huidige reeks glijdt gevaarlijk af...

review 1: Loved this book. It kept me reading compulsively. It's a few years old but a good find. I appreciated the authors' (there are two of them) ability to tell a fairly preposterous story in a way that it did!'t matter if I thought it was ridiculous. That's what a good suspense novel ...

review 1: This novel, the first in a series, opens with the disappearance/abduction of a young girl. It then switches to current times and introduces the characters for this series. I spent a good bit of time trying to even figure out why the child's abduction was even included. And, ev...

review 1: The only reason I read this book is that I was looking for something immediately available as an e-book from the public library. It was okay. The entire book was written in "before" and "after" passages, which kind of got annoying. There were plot twists (I guess), but things see...

review 1: The artifice in this murder mystery is two narratives: one leading up to the murder and one leading away. The one leading away resolves the questions surrounding the murder and shows how perspective is everything. The problem is that both narratives are repetitious. The protagoni...

review 1: For a ‘thriller’ I didn’t find it very thrilling. There wasn’t really any suspense, excitement or even much of a suspicion of murder. I think it was mentioned briefly by Ellie about half way through but the rest of the novel just concentrated on her obsession with her husband and...
