"I love Mary Monroe. The first half of the book is by her. I enjoyed it as I do all her books." — Eddie (4 out of 5 stars)
"I love Mary Monroe. The first half of the book is by her. I enjoyed it as I do all her books."
“Sophisticated and sexy, with the plotting and pacing of first-rate noir.”
" I was never convinced of the motivations behind the driving action which the plot revolved around. The characters would have been more believable if it were set in a time period two or so decades back. I was unable to relate to either of the female characters as modern women. "
" Sorrow for not giving this a higher review, I started with high expectations. The characters are just too dysfunctional--and it ways the authors don't really give us a good excuse for--for me to invest in them or to bring forth my sympathy. "
" Nightmare in Paradise was pretty cool. I don't doubt that things like that actually happen on exotic vacations. The second story by Victor took me a little longer to get through. I guess I'm not a big fan of stories that take place that far back in the day. "
" Mary Monroe took a little too long to get to the plot, but overall, it was a great book. Victor McGlothin is a fantastic writer. He's captivating and had me hook from the first page. "
