Cello player Kate Randall is asleep upstairs in her boyfriend, Michael Lester’s house, when something made her get up at 3am after hearing a noise. Going downstairs she is shocked to find Michael staggering around room to room with a knife he has just been stabbed with still in him. Kate desperately tries to help and pulls the knife out, making Michael’s death quicker. Calling the police, the lead investigator, Webb instantly believes Kate killed Michael in a domestic dispute.
Kate panics and manages to flee, going on the run while trying to clear her name and find out who the real killer of Michael is. A lone man calling himself The Trapper, real name Corso, befriends Kate in displaying he’s trying to help her while also helping the real killer who wants her dead because of what story Michael, a journalist had discovered about him.
The chapters were a little long which I don’t normally like at all but in this case, they weren’t boring or meaningless and did keep you going to get to the next chapter. Quite a decent suspense book.

Good first novel by this author. Story a bit unrealistic, but moved along well after a stodgy start. Would try another by Pascoe.

Kate Randall is a member of a musical group scheduled for a tour of Belgium and Poland.
She has been seeing Michael Lester an environmental journalist. He is also a photographer and one of his photos shows a politician in a compromising situation. The politician thinks this photo could damage his (the politician's) career.
When the musical tour gets cancelled at the last moment, Kate drives by Michael's cottage. She tells him that she wants to break up with him. After he gets physical with her, unrealistically, they decide to have sex one more time. Later, she comes into a room and finds Michael has been murdered. She gets some of his blood on her and when she notifies police, she becomes the main suspect.
With the evidence against her, Kate goes on the run and shows her aggressive side to another character.
I found the story to be unrealistic and Kate's actions to be uncharacteristic for a cellist in a musical group.
I didn't like Kate's character and felt no sympathy for her, so much so that I put the book down and didn't have the desire to continue.

Despite having to suspend disbelief on a few occasions, I did enjoy this. I was amazed though that the heroine was so resourceful. I'd have been a quivering wreck after the first incident. But it was a fast paced story with lots of exciting episodes. I want to know what happens next!
