A Perfect Evil (Maggie O'Dell Novels) 107 reviews Alex Kava
Mira, 2006
Not So Perfect
+ A page turner
Alex Kava writes a strong, church related mystery with Maggie O'Dell being the lynchpin that holds the whole story together.
The only element that stresses credulity is Kava's sexual innuendoes between Maggie and Nick( each brush is stunning, each
accidental touch electric and hinting of dirty, ...

Murder, Action & Revenge, it's all Here
+ Blood Hunt by Ian Rankin + Better than Rebus
Ex-SAS soldier Gordon Reeve, who is an expert on survival, trade and field craft, has a place in a remote, out of the way place in Scotland, where he trains future bodyguards and the like. This is safer for him, but not as satisfying, as being in action himself as he'd barely gotten out alive after ...
