Thank you Kay Smith for this outstanding autographed copy of your book.
This is one of the few books that I actually had a hard time putting down. In fact, I decided to go to bed at a crucial portion and decided to get up to read a little more. I can highly recommend this well-written mystery.
Diamonds for Diamond is an absolute delight for anyone in need of a fast-paced and witty thriller. Once I started reading this book, I could not put it down! Between the well-developed characters and the intriguingly realistic descriptions of police procedure, Diamonds feels almost as if it is set in a world that one could step into and explore. As one follows Jack Diamond's adventure along, one can almost feel the bitingly cold water of the Willamette and smell the unique cocktail of black coffee and cadaverine that compels our heroes. Smith has crafted an enjoyable and irresistible novel, and I cannot wait to read more of her work.
I loved this book. The most wonderful part of it was I thought the killer was a specific person and it was someone that I never would have guessed. I was a great read!
