A good novel to kill time.

Easy to read, although a pure classic RPG style is an original story. The flow of the story as the narrative gets confused and mix at sometimes. The narrative is not cohesive at times, the author fails when switching from third person to first person.

Fun novel, good characters.  Some of the story lines are a bit out there, but isn't that what fiction is all about?  Ive enjoyed this series.

If you are trying to decide wheather to read this book or not, I can tell you this: The Cuckoo's Calling is not as bad and people say.  It's also not a great novel - just a good one.  I found it an enjoyable read. The main character is compelling, if a bit of a chiche. I like his relationship with his assitant, and there is a lot of potential there. The novel starts out a bit slow, but about a third of the way though the story picks up considerably and the book becomes a page turner.  There are several prime suspects for the murder, and I narrowed it down to two characters, one of which was acutally the killer.  The ending has a two plot holes in it - which is unfortunate, but that did not distract from my satisfaction upon finishing the book.  I hear J.K. Rowling is going to make this into a series.  When I first started reading the book I thought that I probably would not be going on to a second novel in the series. Having finished the book, I can say that I will be reading the next installment after all. It's a fun book. Not great literature. Just fun.

Some people did not like the use of off-color language in this book. Honestly, that did not bother me. But this is an individual issue, so just be warned.

What J.K. Rowling does very well is to flesh out her characters, and she is very good at depicting the misery of the human condition.  I thought she did that very well with Harry Potter. However, HP was a children's book, and some have been put off by her adult novels due to their harsh depiction of modern life.  I can tell you that the HP J.K. Rowling is not the same as the adult novelist J.K. Rowling. If you are expecting something with the same quality as the HP novels you will be disappointed.  The success of HP has allowed Ms. Rowling to stretch her self a bit and explore other styles of writing.  Wheather she has been sucessful at this is up for debate.

A very good read for the length. Well thought out and developed. Does not give the reader time to become entangled with a lot of page-filling drivel.

it was okay, a good read if you have an hour or two to kill. the writing was fairly good the characters were interesting enough to keep me engaged in the story and the mystery wasn't half bad either.

I enjoyed this novel.  It is a "feel good" type of fiction where the main character Heather is able to enjoy a happy life after the death of her husband.  I read the novel that comes before this one also.  In both, what struck me though is that the author had Heather almost having everything go too good, too easily.  I'm not sure a perfect husband like Peter could exist, one who is rich and famous, always there for her time after time when she gets upset about life.  The life he provides for her and the children from her first marriage is one made in heaven.  The novel was fun to read but it could have been a bit more realistic at times.

was pretty good for a tech type novel, didn't get bogged down in long tech talk. Main character was pretty cool headed. I liked it, read well.

I enjoyed reading this novel. Some of the plot twists were a bit contrived, and the action stalled at times. However, it was an interesting read.

A well written good read.  The investigation flows nicely.  However, about 85% into the novel, I was ready for the ending.  Just a few too many twists and turns.  Still, well worth the time.

This book takes place over the span of a few hours and has a lot going on in that time frame.  The characters were as developed as they could be in such a short novel and the pace of the book moved along well.  Focused more on the plot and the characters and did not get bogged down in overly descriptive language.  The dialog seemed realistic as well.  That said, it did seem to be for a young adult audience but was an enjoyable read.
