The Kills Listener Reviews
-
" This is a fairly run-of-the- mill novel. The plot is really rather far fetched and also fairly instantly forgettable. A book that one can carry around in a handbag to while away moments when waiting for a bus! "
— Penny, 2/26/2011 -
" This was a pretty good mystery; liked it! "
— Sue, 12/29/2010 -
" Love the bookswap! this wasn't bad, as far as mysteries go. I felt there were too many characters, too many mysteries, but she maintained and there was only one part that I scoffed at. nice easy and very entertaining for a sick day read. "
— Valissa, 12/2/2010 -
" A little more convoluted plot than usual, but it all hangs together in the end. Good book! "
— Beverly, 10/18/2010 -
" Flat. Pretentious. Unbelievable. Agatha Cristiesque in the worst possible way- explains what really happened in a narrative at the end. One time and out for me. "
— John, 9/5/2010 -
" Fairstein is a good suspense writer. However, I like some others more. "
— Linda, 7/4/2010 -
" The beginning of the book was a little slow. I had a hard time trying to figure out how the rape of Paige Vallis was going to tie in to the synopsis on the cover. "
— Stacey, 3/27/2010 -
" The usual Byzantine plot. A little hard to keep track of but overall a great read. "
— Meg, 1/5/2010 -
" took a while to get into, found there was too many story lines in it and was a bit confusing at times, not too bad but was disappointed by the ending. "
— Emma, 12/9/2009 -
" I'm surprised that this book isn't on the list already. It is one of the series with Alex, the blond d.a. which takes place in NYC. Kills refers to the bodies of water around Manhattan, but could also refer to murders. "
— Marti, 2/26/2009 -
" A; Very good. Another page turner from Linda. Alex is a great character to follow. <br/> "
— Cathy, 2/20/2009 -
" As usual another good read from this author. This is the 6th book of the series. "
— Sparhawk, 11/29/2008 -
" This plot left me feeling that I couldn't solve the mystery on my own. Somewhat confusing at times, but still a good murder mystery that leads to a part of the river (always in NYC) where bodies are always found, known as The Kills. "
— Amy, 10/28/2008
