All or Nothing by Elizabeth Adler

From the authoress of tales involving fashion and art intricacies beyond my comprehension, all-inclusive background descriptions of the participating characters, imagery of far-away exotic places worldwide, and wealth and privilege expertly purveyed – comes a mystery thriller? Who’d a thunk it?

Al Giraud, a private investigator, and paramour Marla Cwitowitz, a law professor at Pepperdine, meet for drinks. Cwitowitz has an irrepressible urge to become a private More...

This story did not move along and hold my interest. The relationship between Al Girard and his girlfiend seemed a little dated. I did not enjoy this book as much as the author's more recent books. Al did own a corvette though!

The book was a page turner. The twist was unexpected though it was placed in the middle of the story. I love the culprits psychological character. It's pretty unusual encountering a little girl killing another little girl for power. I also liked Vickie's guts to fight over coma and be with her husband and daughters. One thing i hate about it are the erotic scenes. hahaha.

All or Nothing, by Elizabeth Adler, is part murder mystery, part private-eye story, part romance novel. Although certainly not on the same level as, say, a James Patterson novel, the story moves along quickly with plenty of twists and turns. I enjoyed the two heroes, private investigator Al Giraud and his law-professor lady friend/assistant Marla Cwitowitz. Their dialogue was frequently witty, sometimes silly, but the characters worked together well. All in all, this was an entertaining read More...

I couldn't believe this book was published in 1997 -- it read like a romance written in the 1980's. Did these characters eat out and dress up an awful lot? I enjoyed reading it well enough while I was doing so, but I wouldn't recommend anyone else doing so.
