4.0 out of 5 stars
reprint of two solid enjoyable mysteries, April 2 2008
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Their Footsteps & Thief Of Hearts: In Their Footsteps\Thief Of Hearts (Mass Market Paperback)
"In Their Footsteps". Two decades have past since her parents died and her family drowned in scandal. Now Beryl Tavistock needs to know the truth as she suspects they were murdered. She has left England for Paris seeking answers that she hopes leads to true closure. There she meets former CIA agent Richard Wolf, whom she is attracted to but does not trust. As she gets closer to learning what happened twenty years ago, someone keeps a close tab on her progress; if she gets too close she will join her parents.
"Thief of Hearts". As a favor to a pleading close friend Veronica Caircross, weary but faithful old chump Jordon Tavistock comes to her rescue; he breaks into a country manor to repossesses some damaging love letters. To his shock, he is not the first thief to break and enter as he finds himself facing Diana Lamb. They team up with her helping him find where the correspondence he seeks is and he assists her with her search for rare antiquities.
This book is a reprint of two solid enjoyable mysteries tied together by the Tavistock siblings, but not quite at the quality level of the medical thrillers that Tess Gerritsen wrote afterward. Still both are filled with suspense, action, and romance that grip the reader from the moment that their parents are killed in Paris' Pig Alley two decades ago until both Jordon and Beryl find adventure and love.

Awful, Dec 10 2008
By Knerrd - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Their Footsteps & Thief Of Hearts: In Their Footsteps\Thief Of Hearts (Mass Market Paperback)
Is this the same author that wrote The Bone Garden? Can't be. Having very much enjoyed that book, I noticed and picked up these two stories at a thrift book shop. Don't make the same mistake (regardless of how much you pay for them)! These two books are simply trash. Granted, I assume these were early works and she has apparently matured and improved as an author. So, I guess it's not really necessary to go back and trash them. Rather, let this review be a warning that these two books are not worth your time and not near the level of The Bone Garden.

A winning combination, July 11 2011
By D'Bogat "D'Bogat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: In Their Footsteps & Thief Of Hearts: In Their Footsteps\Thief Of Hearts (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm a fan of Tess Gerritsen. like Stephen King'S "T. Gerritsen is an automatic must-read in my house". So I was looking for the odd unread book and I stumbled on this combination that I bought without knowing exactlY what to expect of it. I don't have to tell you Tess is an author of very gory and macabre books like the Rizzoli series.
Well, was I surprised! Gerritsen writing an Harlequin romance! "In Their Footsteps" seemed to me like an undefined genre, I wasn't sure if it was a spy book or a gory crime mistery, and when I finished reading it, the first part of the book, I was not impressed. It seemed to me to be rather like an exersise in writing without being to good nor too bad.
The surprise came when I started reading the second part of the bi-logy, "Thief Of Hearts" It turned out that the main characters are the same as in the first story. A high society brother and sister. In the first half it was the story of the sister Beryl falling in love and in the second part is the brother Jordan the one who's turn's to be conquered. I was happy for that because it is easier to read a second story when you already are acquainted with the foibles of the main characters. Soon I discovered that the second part is not just funny, it's hillarious. I was cought by the narrative and finished the book in less than two days and I did enjoyed it VERY much. This is a different Tess Gerritsen. Not a violent and gory one but a very romantic female. ONE WORD OF CAUTION: it has too many kissing scenes (and only one good sex scene). Enjoy!
Listmania!
