4.0 out of 5 stars You Should Have an Intent to Buy This Book, Sep 23 2003

This review is from: Deadly Intent (Mass Market Paperback)

Ian McGregor is at the bottom of the human race and while in prison sees his ex step sister Abbie Di Angelo on television who he hasn't seen for most of his life and decides he will con her and blackmail her into giving him $100 000 dollars. He and Earl Kramer a death row inmate develop the plan and when Ian is released from prison he pays his step sister a visit. Giving into the blackmail for her mother's sake, instead of Ian at the drop off point for the money she finds Artura Garcia with a knife and only narrowly escapes death. She does not know who he is but he wants money that Ian owes him and he will stop at nothing to get it. Ian is dead and John Ryan is investigating his death and takes a very close interest in Abbie.

This is a pretty good book although a bit predictable at the end as the criminal mastermind is very easy to work out. Still you are captured by the novel's high quality to want to know what happens at the end. The characters are very well developed and you definitely want to know what they are going to do next.

Pretty enjoyable romantic suspense from start to finish. Very good story with very good characters that moved at a pretty fast pace. Shocking villain. I really didn't see that coming. Enjoy!

2.0 out of 5 stars Deadly Disscontent or disconect, July 4 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Deadly Intent (Mass Market Paperback)

Christine Heggan poses the self aware restranteur Abbie Di Angelo against her sociopathic half brother, and later a thick headed strongman drug-dealing Arturo Garcia. First off, the story holds promise and I'm convinced that Ms. Heggan can weave a pot together. Bad guy number one really made me mad! I actually found myself steaming. Abbie Di Angelo made me angry for a different reason. I just wasn't buying the victimization of the seemly self-aware person. How could anyone this smart, and with such great people skills be this much of a doormat? I didn't put the book down at that point. I bought the romance and her devotion to Rose, the first bad guy's ex-wife. Nice touch. I related well with Rose's circumstances. I put the book down when Abbie was too dumb to call the police at her second Garcia sighting. The first sighting would have put, even the most stable person in the therapist's chair...
