"I'm loving the murder mystery stuff again. Have missed it since I ran out of James Patterson's books. This was about Homicide detective Ellie Hatcher discovering the murder of 4 young women leaving bars alone at night in NYC and a surprise at who the killer was..."
— Lois (4 out of 5 stars)
“Complex plotting, multi-layered characters, a creepy serial killer—in Angel’s Tip, Burke has once again proven herself a terrific storyteller.”
— Sandra Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author“Alafair Burke has created a winning heroine in Ellie Hatcher, someone to root for.”
— Tami Hoag, #1 New York Times bestselling author“Angel’s Tip is a riveting read that snaps with the beat of New York…A knuckle-biting journey that’ll keep you turning pages until the very end.”
— Faye Kellerman, New York Times bestselling author of the Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus series“Gripping second procedural to feature NYPD detective Ellie Hatcher…Burke leaves her principle characters little time to sleep; readers will relate.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)" I really enjoyed this book. The main character was not only likable, but easy to relate to as well. "
— Desiree, 2/15/2014" Plucky NYPD Detective Elly Hatcher goes for her morning job, and comes across the mutilated body of a teenage girl. She works with her partner to solve the crime. A good story, but the dialogue was really mundane. "
— Pat, 2/6/2014" A well paced detective story with an interesting twist on the 'hero becomes victim' line which, for me, is often a tad too predictable. An all round good read "
— Iain, 2/6/2014" Boring: reminds me of about a hundred things I've already read, without anything new or different to make it stand out. "
— MBP, 2/3/2014" Will be starting this one soon. Have high hopes for it as I have enjoyed her previous books. I don't think she has the literary turn of phrase her father has, but the pages turn easily on her books. "
— Icicle4, 1/27/2014" NYPD detective Ellie Hatcher returns in this 2nd novel with lots of suspense and plot twists. Couldn't put this one down. "
— Anne, 1/18/2014" A cop thriller. Quick read and fun! "
— Jayne, 1/17/2014" Readable and actually better than I expected for a freebie on the kindle. The ending was a bit expected but definitely good for a holiday read. "
— Carolin, 1/13/2014" It gets 3 stars because I liked Ellie Hatcher (the lead detective). Otherwise, it was your basic cop thriller. "
— Laura, 1/5/2014" From Nessy's Book Box. "
— Siobhan, 12/11/2013" Ellie #2 "
— Ellen, 12/5/2013" Eh - NYC police procedural. 2nd in series with Det. Ellie Hatcher. Not as good as the first - less personal connection with the main character. "
— Coki, 11/6/2013" An excellent mystery/crime novel about a young, female detective in New York City. "
— Lindsay, 9/27/2013" This was a good book. Quick read, well-drawn characters, interesting story. If I hadn't read it immediately after reading Cody McFadden's Abandoned, I probably would rate it more highly. "
— Melise, 9/20/2013" If her writing keeps improving book by book, she's going to be killer one day. I like Ellie as a protagonist so much more than I like Samantha Kincaid, too. "
— A., 7/8/2013" Good story. I love James Lee Burke's books too! "
— Debbie, 6/30/2013" Not sure if I have the desire to finish at this point... "
— Sarah, 6/21/2013" I was slow coming to the Ellie HAtcher books, but now that I've read a couple this series is on my "must read" list. "
— Kelly, 2/17/2013" Murder mystery with likable homicide detective, interesting brother, quirky co-workers and twist at the end. Recommended. "
— Jeri, 11/1/2012" Good, but not as good as the first in the Ellie Hatcher series. A tad predictable. "
— Ellen, 9/15/2012" Good police mystery drama- my favorite type of bedtime reading. "
— TexasMargarita, 4/10/2012" Another great mystery from this author. Interesting with twists and turns that you don't see coming. "
— Alicia, 3/1/2012" I rather enjoyed reading something other than chick-lit. A crime story (fiction). Found out towards the end that I had the wrong person picked as the culprit. "
— Aetuck, 2/26/2012" Another great read by Alafair Burke! "
— Cambria, 7/19/2011" It was a typical crime novel. I was engrossed in the story, I did stay up later than usual for the few nights that it took for me to finish it, the love interest plot line was believable and not too sappy. An acceptable break from heavier reads. "
