This review is from: A Wild and Lonely Place (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read all the Sharon McCone mysteries in the order they were written and am a big Marcia Muller fan. "A Wild and Lonely Place" was the most disappointing book in the series so far. Most of the suspects/new characters were dull, I figured out the mystery WAY too readily, and the writing was surprisingly cliched.

I hope that this book does not mark a downward spiral for Muller. But.. if it does, she's had a great run. (15 books in the series prior to this one.) If you don't know her work, start with the first McCone mystery, "Edwin of the Iron Shoes" and go forward from there. Don't let this one turn you off.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Action-packed Sharon McCone book, Ao� 20 2002

Par	Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: A Wild and Lonely Place (Mass Market Paperback)

Private Investigator Sharon McCone continues to evolve as this series progresses. The reader is privy to many more of McCone's inner thoughts than in the earlier books, and we come to know what makes her tick. In this installment, Sharon is asked to pursue the so-called Diplobomber, who targets embassies of oil-rich nations. The bomber has toyed with officials, giving a warning before he strikes, but still eluding their efforts to capture him. During the course of her investigation, Sharon learns of the daily life inside the Azadi consulate which is dysfunctional, to say the least. She continues her very open relationship with Hy Ripinsky, becomes very attached to a little girl who is a part of the investigation, and takes some impromptu flying lessons. The action is often tense, and the conclusion is slowly but surely arrived at by McCone. This is one of the best books of this series.

5.0�toiles sur 5 One of her Best!!!!, Juil 5 2002

Par	angel (Harper Woods, Michigan United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: A Wild and Lonely Place (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was one of the best Marcia Muller books I have read to date. It takes a newer set of characters and basically combines them with the All Souls gang. The Sharon McCone series has been getting better and better with every book. Marcia Muller's writing has come so far since "Edwin of the Iron Shoes" I have read many mystery series and this is one of the best. I am looking forward to reading the rest of her books!
