Nophoto-f-25x33 Book: In the Event of My Death
Start date: 13/12/2009
End Date: 13/12/2009

Review


I enjoyed this book Though it was a reread.
If looked at on its own its a great story with and a surprise ending

Who would have thought that someone could be so delusional and so murderous.

If I was to consider it after reading all the others then would say its follows formuler and you knew it would be someone close though I was (having forgotten what actually happened) Thought it was somene else . It was near the end I remembered how faith actually died

But this was one of her earlier books I think so readers may not have found it as obvious

The book is in the third person butis relating what is happing to three people:-

I enjoyed reading and though it was a reread it was still enjoyable.

Nophoto-f-25x33 Book: A Necessary Evil
Started: 8th November 2009
Ended: 11h November

Review


I enjoyed this one but not as much as the first 2 in the series.

this seem to be the murders occuring and the police bafffeled and only at the end does the true culprits made aware .

But it does help us think is murder acceptable in certain circumstances and would we stop a vigilante killing sex offenders when legally noone else can stop them

Book Review

This was another great book from Alex Kava which could be read on its own without the previous ones being read.

Maggie as favour to Gwen is in search of one of her patients and in true O'Dell fashion ends up involved in another grisouly seriel killer adventure
At The Stroke Of Madness

Review


I liked this book though not as much as her other ones. It was a bit slower then the previous ones.
though I didn't reeber what had occured I guessed about Ben garrison and it was ironic what he was doing cosidering why he was getting revenge

Nophoto-f-25x33 Book : A Perfect Evil
Started 26th September 2009
Ended: 27th September


Review

I really enjoyed rereading this and was good that I did.

It reminded me of the background and I remember that by the time I read the later ones some of the finer points had bee forgotten!!.

clever killer to always have a patsy and and he has gotten away with it. so now an inncocent man is in trouble.

That eddie gillick is some piece of work

Looking forward to rereading the others and think that reading the series one ofter the other keeps things in your mind fresh and easy to follow.

Nophoto-f-25x33 Book: Split second
Started: 18th September 2009
Ended:20th September 2009


Review

This book was great-I had read it ages ago and so the majority of the book was like new-completly forgotten how it ended

I am really pleased that I re read it.

It is all about maggie o'dell and a seriel killer called albert stucky. he plays mental games with her to scare her and she is on the edge trying to solve them

An amazing idea for a seriel killer to kill people based soley on maggie's talking to them however bried . to make her feel responsible and isolated.

How would you feel if someone died just because they were your waitress when you went to a restaurant!!! Split Second (Maggie O'Dell Novels) (Paperback)

Nophoto-f-25x33 I always mean to re-read my old books but I never had a chance as I keep buying more so my challenge is to reread all my books. I have over 350+ books so won't list but reread them by author alphabetically and set a period of time in which to read them.
