A Delightful Read,
By
This review is from: ALMOST A CRIME. (Hardcover)
This story is about this perfect couple, Octavia and Tom Flemming who have a marriage made in heaven. Society looks up to this attractive and golden couple; in fact everyone does. Well heeled they both are and in prominent positions to boot.But that's until the cookie crumbles and Tom begins to have a torrid and steamy affair, putting his wife through so much embarassment, sickness and paranoia, she can hardly bear to leave the house. And look who he is having the affair with? There is betrayal amongst friends and this obviously affects the couple's professional lives interferring with their wealthy status . This book is a stunner with its variety of characters.....especially the ladies....some plain though interesting all the same, while others are attractive and rather hoity toity. The big question however is will this marriaage between this golden couple survive??? Another good one from Penny Vincenzi....go for it. You love it and won't be satisfied until you've found out whodunnit.

Impressive,

This review is from: Almost A Crime (Paperback)
I am a fan of Penny Vincenzi but I admit some of her books are better than others. This one is very good. I like Penny Vincenzi because she writes a good solid story with very impressive and believable characters. Her descriptions are not sappy which I have found to be the case in a lot of books I have read. My favourites of hers are the trilogy series but I have certainly liked her other books as well. I am looking forward to her next book due out in paperback soon.Would recommend this book, it is a good intelligent and entertaining read.

Disappointing,
By Vim "Vim320" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Almost a Crime (Hardcover)
I consider myself to be a big Penny Vincenzi fan. I was so addicted to her "spoils of time" trilogy that I had read it twice in the span of three years. This is saying a lot for me, since I don't read books more than once unless they are really that good. That's why I hate to be negative about one of her latest books. "Almost a Crime" did not grab my attention from the beginning. It was hard to follow the story since it lacked excitement and characters were not very believable. Maybe a huge part of my disappointment had to do with the fact that it is set in the 1990s and lacks the nostalgic charm of No Angel, Something Dangerous, and Into Temptations. I'm still a big fan of Penny vincenzi but not of this particular book.

Another winning book,
By Annie "bookwishes4" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Almost a Crime (Hardcover)
I became a fan of Penny Vincenzi when No Angel was released in the states and have been reading her books ever since. Almost A Crime is her first US release after the Spoils Of Time trilogy.Londoners Tom and Octavia Fleming had what seemed to be the perfect high power marriage. They complimented each others careers while juggling their personal lives but it all came to an abrupt end when Octavia found out that Tom was having an affair. Octavias father, who never liked Tom was pushing her to leave him, Toms business started to fail due to financial problems and then Octavia found out who the other woman was and then everything started falling apart. For those of you who love a book that you can sink your teeth into, Almost A Crime is the perfect choice for your next read. |
