Classic Whodunit
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
The book seemed to barely scratch the surface of character description, although the behind-the-scenes activities of the glamourous life were greatly elaborated upon to make up for this. If the ending had somehow tied up the ends a little nicer and not put Max back at square one, I think I wouldve liked it better. The ending just seemed bittersweet and stuck with nowhere else to go. Furthermore, greater description about Saskia growing up might have made it easier to see why she developed so differently from Max. Its an easy read and predictable, but is still enjoyable.
A Well Written Mystery; Insider's View Of TheFashion Mileu
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I would have given this book 5 stars except for the ending, which I found disapointing. Yes, the novel's mystery is solved but the hero ends up where he started. That is not my idea of the ending this book deserved. The look into the world of a major fashion magazine was terrific. Good characters and a plot that kept me guessing. The author writes very well. If only the ending showed some progress or some promise for the main character! Glad I read it, anyway.
Wonderful summernights thrash/thrill
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The story is quite simple; the editor/owner of a society magazine gets killed and her antipode in life, her brother, takes over as an editor. At the same time he plays the sleuth and finds out who killed her. What makes it a good read is the nice "behind the scene" view of the glossy magazine world.If we have to believe the writer ( and why not, he is a BIG player in this world) it is a ruthless and dangerous environment, interesting enough as background for a well developed thriller. The dialogues are OK and the plot has enough twists to keep the tension in the novel...in short, good fun for a nice long summernight
Very Captivating
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
A good high society thriller, and really intense. Mr. Coleridge is also factual, and gives a bizarre glimpse into magazine publishing.
