wonderful woman
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
In the opening pages of the novel, Linda Davies' character Sarah Jensen is pronounced "perfect" by the Director of the Bank of England. This means trouble. Smart and strong (physically & emotionally) women are Davies' speciality. See also Widerness of Mirrors with its Vietnam setting and Into the Fire, for a breath-taking trip to Manchu Pichu. nb Get the Brit edition if you can, where the female hit-person is a lesbian. The American edition morphs her straight. Shades of Jerry Falwell?

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I EVER READ!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I read this book in a day, and I just couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed the female heroine. I used to be a stockbroker in Denver, and really enjoyed the female heroine, and the vicarious thrills of her life!!!
Fast paced with a great woman lead

You'd think from the overwhelming number of suspense thrillers on the market with male lead characters that only guys could get out alive. What? Women can't live adventurous lives, foil the bad guys, and make good money along the way? Linda Davies has created an original character, a fun, fast-paced story, and a great vacation or "escape from thinking about your own life" story. I read this in London one very hot summer and enjoyed every moment of the book. I am sad that Ms. Davies hasn't written more. If you're looking for great literature, look elsewhere. But if you don't mind the "story over meticulous writing skills" of the leading suspense and legal thriller writers, you'll enjoy this book.
As intoxicating as a snakebite

If you are into Grisham and Stephen Fre, you will definitely like this book. It is well paced, and the character is really feisty. Personally , I liked the book, and was very satisfied with the characterization displayed.
