4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, Aug 24 2001

This review is from: The Clairvoyant Countess (Mass Market Paperback)

I couldn't put this one down...although it's more of a group of mysteries strung together,rather than just one, I still found it very entertaining. A nice, light read.

1.0 out of 5 stars A definite waste of time, Feb 27 2001

By	Steven Henderson (Forest Hills, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Clairvoyant Countess (Mass Market Paperback)

I had never read a Dorothy Gilman book before this one and I was very, very dissappointed. If it were not such a short book (about 224 pages) I would have abandoned it before even finishing it, which I do not like to do, but I did hang in there until the bitter, bitter end. I have read some good mysteries before, and this "mystery" lacks a significant plot. The only "digging" the sleuths do is watch this Madame at work with her psychic powers. Soon after that, the mysteries were solved too easily and were not at all believable. I am trying not to let this book ruin me for other Dorothy Gilman books. I keep telling myself that this one was written early on in her career and she probably got better with age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful! An excellent read; highly recommended, Oct 18 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Clairvoyant Countess (Mass Market Paperback)

I love Dorothy Gilman's Mrs. Pollifax series (particularly the early books -- through and including Mrs. Pollifax on Safari, although I still eagerly read all of them as soon as they're published), and adored A Nun in the Closet. Although I hadn't expected to like this one, I was very pleasantly surprised. It is thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable -- one of the few mysteries I've saved to reread.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard to classify, but great fun anyway.
Not exactly a series of short stores nor yet exactly a novel, this book is the story of a clairvoyant and the way she worked with one particular policeman, Lieutenant Pruden... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars More like an novel steeped in mystery than a regular mystery
I adored this book. This was the first book of Ms. Gilman's that I have read and I can't wait to get my hands on some others soon. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Flat, Pat and Best Forgotten
It is true that this book is a "quick read" and unfortunately that's the best that can be said about it. It is more a collection of short stories than a novel. Read more
