"I have found a new suspense/thriller author to enjoy! I liked that the main character was very current with her surfing of the Internet and blogging. There were a lot of twists and turns, and by the end I was ready for a resolution to the story, but overall very enjoyable."
— Tara (4 out of 5 stars)
" I do not find Ali as charming as J.P. or Joanna but her books are still an easy fun read. "
— Kay, 2/17/2014" Another read, gotta have more. "
— Marjorie, 2/14/2014" My husband had to really encourage me to read this book, because he was reading the books by J.A. Jance, and I thought they were books for guys. When I began to read this book, it grabbed me right away. It does have some suspense in it, but it also has romance and just real people. I liked it very much, except for the ending. It just kind of drifts off, and didn't end the way I expected. "
— Sharon, 2/1/2014" Pretty good, but not as good as the Joanna Brady series by Jance. I would definitely try another of her Ali Reynolds series now that I have read this one. "
— Denise, 1/28/2014" This book will keep you up until the last page. As with any of the JA Jance books that I have read, it is a page turner. "
— Rose, 1/25/2014" It was alright. It seemed to be lacking depth and I figured out "whodunit" early on in the book. It didn't really keep me guessing. "
— Terri, 1/16/2014" Loved it and wanted to read more of this author. "
— Polly, 1/9/2014" Good read, easy read, story line complete "
— Brenda, 12/3/2013" Okay - this book had some good parts but didn't have much of a plot and wasn't particularly well written. If you're looking for a good thriller/suspense novel, you can do better than this. "
— Anna, 11/13/2013" I loved the way Ali handled her job lose and husband both to younger women..not the same woman. And the death of her best friend from childhood and a nut case trying to kill her because of something she writes on her blog.....the rest is up to you..smiles. "
— Debi, 10/13/2013" I've read all of the books in this series and they are good. I've read everything by J. A. Jance, and will continue to do so!!! "
— Kathryn, 10/2/2013" Now I want to go back and read the later book in the series that I didn't love. I think this strong introduction to Ali would make a huge difference. "
— Laura, 8/24/2013" I like J.A. Jance's books. She has three different character series (that I know about). I have read two books from this series about Ali Reynolds. "
— Linda, 8/11/2013" Just love to read J. A. Jance books. Her story telling style is direct and although I can usually figure "who dun" it, sometimes she fools me. "
— Sharon, 8/8/2013" Though not quite what I expected, I did get caught up in the story. The internet element adds a lot on many different levels. The author has a real gift for instantly accessible characters, action and dialogue. The whodunit at the story's center was also a pleasant surprise. "
— Mark, 7/20/2013" A good start of an ongoing series that was recommended by a friend. I'll definitely pick up the second in the series. "
— Kelly, 3/9/2013" I started this book in the morning and could barely put it down to do my "chores" and other essentials throughout the day. I finished before I went to bed, and really enjoyed it all the way through. "
— Jennifer, 2/24/2013" Took me awhile to get into but once I was I read it in a day. "
— Austine, 1/9/2013" I previously read an Ali Reynolds book that came later in the series, so it was good to see how it all started. I really enjoyed the book. It was not one of my favorites of all time, thus the 4 stars, but still good. "
— Sharla, 11/14/2012" I didn't think I was going to like it at first -- maybe a Joanna Brady backlash! However, I found that I did, in fact, enjoy it, and am looking forward to the next one. "
— Sandra, 10/4/2012" I read this on ina couple of days. Now more of Ali Renyolds and her family make more sense. Maybe I'll read the other again. "
— Barbara, 3/11/2012" Good mystery with a solid lead female character. "
— Alison, 10/5/2011" Book held my interest. As a matter of fact I read it over 4 days, when I should of been getting some work done. "
— Jan, 9/16/2011" Fun. First Ali Reynolds series. Good Cruise read. "
— Jacquelyn, 9/5/2011" Jance just gets better and better. "
— Dianna, 9/4/2011" I loved this book by JA Jance. It was interesting to ready a non-Beaumont, non-Brady book by Jance. I hope to see Ali as a character in future books. "
— Tina, 8/30/2011" It held my interest till the end, but the ending of this was just to easy. All neat and tidy and handed to you on a platter. "
— Laura, 7/18/2011" This was a very readable and quick paced book. I really like the main character and will definitely read the next one in the series. It isn't world class literature but who wants to read world class lit all the time;O) "
— Natalie, 5/26/2011" My first Ali Reynolds novel. I see bits of Jance's phraseology, but seems more separated than her other series. I liked the blog and e-mail conversation aspects. "
— April, 5/22/2011" Listening to the audio book. Liked the audio book, the story line, the blog and Ali. "
— Margaret, 5/11/2011" It was alright. It seemed to be lacking depth and I figured out "whodunit" early on in the book. It didn't really keep me guessing. "
— Terri, 5/3/2011" This was so bad, it was like a joke. How is this person a bestselling author? "
— Julie, 4/15/2011" I thought it would be too much to hope that J A Janice could introduce a third captivating character I have loved JP Beaumont, and Joanna Brady. At first I was resistant, but Ali grows on you. Great stories, and a good series that is still building. "
— JoDee, 4/6/2011" The book was a little too mellow for my taste! For me, it took awhile to get me hooked. "
— Lee, 3/25/2011" It took awhile, but I think I like Ali Reynolds...she has spunk :-) <br/> <br/> "
— Chris, 3/3/2011" Enjoyed this book. It is fun to read stories set in areas I know!! Characters are fun too. I haven't read any other books in any of the other series yet. But, they are on my list. "
— Valerie, 2/28/2011" A very good mystery! Fast paced with a main character that I liked! "
— Julie, 2/25/2011" A good start of an ongoing series that was recommended by a friend. I'll definitely pick up the second in the series. "
— Kelly, 2/20/2011" I figured out what happened and who done it, but it took me almost the whole book. Good writing. "
— Phillis, 2/8/2011" I started this last night, and just finished it at 4:30pm. This is the first in the Ali Reynolds series, and I purchased them all so that I can read them in order. I enjoyed this newest J.A. Jance character so much, that I'm going to start the next one later this evening! "
— Deborah, 2/6/2011" I had read Trial by Fire early in the year and decided I needed to start at the beginning of the series. I was very pleasantly surprised. "
— Scott, 12/21/2010" I like this easy to read series! "
— Heather, 12/19/2010" This was my first book by this author, and I am pretty sure my last. The premise had a lot of potential, but it was billed as a thriller and it came off more like a character study. "
— Ian, 12/16/2010" It was a good story, but the author kind of goes off on tangents that have nothing to do with anything. I would read another book by her. "
