Advantages: good descriptions of places
Disadvantages: not very interesting

I have read two of Rosie Thomas' books, 'every woman knows a secret' and 'moon island'. I found that the endings of both books were dissapointing. The stories took a while to get started in both cases, and were quite uneventful throughout, with about two interesting occurences in each. i found that due to the style of writing a lot of concentration is needed to follow sections of writing even though the details of the story arent complicated. i wouldnt ...

...been singing the praises of P.J. Tracy for the past year. So under considerable pressure I finally relented and decided to give it a go. I am always conscious when someone recommends an author to you that opinions vary and what one person loves anything may loathe. The Author: This was a complete shock to me for a start. A book written by two authors! In this case it was a mother/daughter combination of Traci and PJ Lambrecht. I'm so glad I found ...
...bothered, as I would have expected the book to be very disjointed. This was their first best selling thriller. These were quickly followed by three more also best sellers, 'Snow Blind', 'Dead Run' and 'Live Bait'. All sharing this successful idea of two related writers. The story of the book: An elderly couple, the Kleinfedts are killed in a church in Kingsford County, Wisconsin. The local Police see this as a random act against two highly unpopular ... Read review

Advantages: great writing in two genres
Disadvantages: she won't lay off cheap romance

Tami Hoag is a best selling American author of suspense and romance novels. I can only comment on the suspense ones as I never read romance. I first read one of her books, Cry Wolf, last autumn. I was very impressed and decided to read more and do some research on this author. Before publishing her first book, a romance novel in 1988, she held various other jobs. After a number of love stories she moved on to crime writing. Hoag published thirteen ...

Advantages: Hard back and paper back. Very good read.
Disadvantages: the need to ensure that the books in a series are read in chronological order.

Val Mcdermid writes about crime, whether it be based on her own Private Eye - Kate Brannigan, or a forensic phychologist-Tony Hill. She writes serials that involves these characters, and another about a lesbian journalist, Lindsay Gordon. (which I have not read.) Some people may already be familiar with Tony Hill, a pyhycologist who suffers from sexual dysfunction, as some of his stories have been dramatised and can be seen on ITV or DVD box sets. ...
...has an unexpected outcome. Val McDermid's writing is contempory, enguaging and suprising until the end. Any of her stories that you choose to read will make you stay up late just tofinish the next chapter, and the next. If you do choose to read any of the books that are in a series, then make sure you do read them in order or you may find that you spoil the suprise in other books. Once you've read one, you will want to read another. ... Read review
