Nina Reilly

review 1: This book is a prequel to the 13 other books in the Nina Reilly series by sisters Pamela and Mary O'Shaughnessy, writing under a pseudonym. In this book, we learn about Nina, her brother Matt, her son Bob and PI Paul van Wagoner and how they became what they are today, while Nina handily solves a couple of crimes (with Pauls' help) and we gain some insight into Nina and her background. I picked this book up dirt cheap at an After, After Christmas sale last year and am glad I did.
review 2: This is the "prequel" to Perri O'Shaughnessy's Nina Reilly series. To be honest, at first it seemed a bit odd to have a prequel book after 13 years and 11 books in the series. I mean you "know" the characters and they've grown quite a bit over the years. But, it worked! I... more guess that shows the writing skill of the O'Shaughnessy sisters (Mary and Pam); to be able to take established characters and go backwards in time to create the story of their beginning. If you've never read anything by Perri O"Shaughnessy's Nina Neilly series, I suggest you start with Show No Fear (book 12) and then start with book 1, Motoin to Suppress. If you like legal/crime mysteries or authors like John Grisham, Sue Grafton, Janet Evanovich and/or Iris Johansen (Eve Duncan series), then I think you'd like this series. Not heavy, yet not too light. Just right when you want an entertaining and yet, "good" read! less
