review 1: Diva was pretty good but, in my opinion, not as good as Absolution. The plot was split in 2 that ultimately did not have much to do with each other and did not seem very inspired. I guessed everything correctly. And Fleet gets the award for most reused descriptions of "acid roiling in his gut" (insert other adjectives for guts churning and burning here). It's seriously on every other page. I highlighted every description of "gut" and there were over 30. It's that and "dark, penetrating, intense eyes." Her writing was not original and recycled and predictable. I only gave it a 3 for being kinda entertaining and creepy (since it is a thriller, after all). Probably won't be reading any more Susan Fleet after this one.
review 2: This time a Flautist is being stalke... mored, but she doesn't want to deal with it. Renzi gets involved when her Manager contacts the NOPD about it. She develops a crush on Renzi, who does not reciprocate. Meanwhile things are not good in New Orleans. Crime and criminals are pretty much out of control following Katrina. A teenaged girl runs away from a robbery in which someone is shot, a woman is carjacked and thrown out of the car while it is moving and dies as a result. Renzi catches the teenager and places her in a group home from which she runs away. The two cases intermingle because of a music connection. The stalker is living in a fantasy world and convinced he has a future with the Flautist, a not particularly likable diva. Telling the reader any more would lead to plot spoilers, but this is fast reading and will grab the reader's interest. Fleet's characters are those you want to get to learn more about. less
