If you like E Lowell you will like this book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Just about every movie I see has a very thin and holey plot. And not every book can meet everyone's standards. That said, I have yet to read an Elizabeth Lowell book that I have not enjoyed and this is no exception. I couldn't wait to pick it up and continue the story. It was enthralling, and a great read. If you don't like Elizabeth Lowell, then you may not like this book. If you do, then this is not one you want to skip.
The perfect balance

I have to admit, when I grabbed this one from the shelf, I had no idea who Elizabeth Lowell was. Not being a Romance fan, I hadn't had the pleasure of reading any of her novels. After reading "Die in Plain Sight," however, I'll be looking for more of her work. This book grabbed my attention on the very first page and didn't let go. Each of the characters was well-developed and easy to follow through out the story. The relationship between the main characters built a bit quickly (reminiscent of most romance novels,) but it was well defined and the interaction between the characters was fun to follow. The mystery (the reason I picked up the book in the first place) was interesting and the ending was excellent, if a tiny bit predictable. All in all, I look forward to reading more of Lowell's novels, and was happy to learn that there is a series based on Susa's family.
The best book ever

Guess I'm in the minority again but

I loved this story. Lacey, Ian and especially Susa were strong characters I cared about and would love to read about in future books. I am hoping for a book that develops Lawe and Justin and "the Donovan" and catches us up on the other Donovan's.
Another great read from Elizabeth Lowell

EL does it again! This book is a great read. It has it all - romance, action, suspense. The characters are likeable and interesting - and I especially like the fact that our romantic leads are "partners" almost immediately.As another reviewer has pointed out, the ending is not the strongest part of the book. It read as if EL ran out of space or time. I'd knock a half star off if we were allowed to do so; but overall the book is still very good.
