Some families need more help than others…

When a man is murdered in a London street by a Cobra bite, not surprisingly, the media are very interested.

Another great read, although the writer tapped into my biggest fear right at the beginning.

The story kept me guessing and there is a cliff-hanger keeping me waiting for book three. It was great to find out more of Claire Falle's family history and why she is so vulnerable.

The central plot was reasonably pacey and enjoyable. Some of the plotting was a bit implausible; how do you instantly seal car-doors, for example? And, without spoiling the plot, I thought that the way Claire extricated herself from a difficult situation the end was also rather difficult to believe. I was a bit disappointed that there was so much reference back to the previous D I Falle novel as I read that one some time ago and had forgotten most of the essential details of the ‘Rachel’ story. I think it is better if stories are self-contained. Ian Rankin does this sort of thing pretty well with the Rebus novels – there is there merest hint of continuity between the novels - but you can read them in any order and they all stand alone. I think a reader new to this series and starting with Home Help would be very puzzled by this.

Boring. A good start soon peters out into a dull mix of vague technical words sprinkled with love scenes. None of the characters is interesting. A book without substance.

Due to the presence of one of my fears, this wasn’t really a book for me, well written and interesting though
