Lovely style of writing, the story flowed along and kept up at a good pace. It was interesting in that the reader gets the story from 2 view points - not as in usual books the goodie and the badie but from each of the 2 detectives on the case. This made more (enjoyable) work for the reader to t...

This was a recommendation book off of Good Reads so I thought I try a new author that I have never heard about. After reading this well written mystery, I am going to read another book from Ms. Spindler. The characters in this book are well developed and there are so many subtle clues dropped t...

After his disappearance, his parents marriage dissolves and his mother runs away to San Francisco with her 5y old daughter, Alex from a previous relationship. Bring...
I have to say that what first captured my interest about this book was that it enabled me to catch up a bit with Stacy Killian, who first appeared, I believe, in SEE JANE DIE, and then had a story all of her own in KILLER TAKES ALL, in which readers met Spencer Malone, the lead detective in WATCH...
I thought this was a great read. Gripping and powerful. I enjoyed the combination of historical information regarding New Orleans and its culture, with the depth of characters and tangly webs embedded in various story lines (which did not overpower one another). A little bit of steamy romance, sc...
Finished reading: April 14th 2014 (view spoiler)[Dean Run is in many ways just another of those crime thrillers that doesn't really stand out from the rest. A lot of cliches are used in describing both characters and the plot, which was kind of a turn off. But although I normally detest stories ...

Forbidden Fruit takes you into the world of sultry New Orleans, to the home of Lily Pierron, a legendary madam, like...
I liked this book. I really, really did. But I didn’t like Richard. At all. He’s selfish, insecure, egotistical, and prone to bouts of jealousy. He’s not exactly husband material, even though Kate has been married to him for the past ten years, in what I can only assume was wedded bliss, until he...
This book pleasantly surprised me. Going into it, I had no real expectations about whether this would be good or not and I ended up thoroughly enjoying it. It wasn’t that easy of a read but it flowed smoothly and the story developed naturally.I found this book in a box that my boyfriend’s mom was...
