MY HEART IS NOW "COLD"
|
|
I've so enjoyed the first two books in this series, Cold Shoulder and Cold Blood, that it was actually exciting for me to begin this one in the hopes that Lorraine Page is still on the right track towards putting her life back together. When Cold Blood ended, Lorraine and her partners had just received a million dollar bonus for solving their last case. This installment begins with Lorraine spending some of that money getting new office digs, a new car, some new clothes and waiting for the phone to ring in her private investigation agency. Her assistant Rosie has been replaced by Decker since Rosie and Rooney are still honeymooning in Europe. Fans of this series were delighted when Rosie found love in Cold Blood - how ironic. The phone finally rings at Page Investigations beginning this new adventure into the world of movie producing, pornography, art theft and a possible love interest for Lorraine. The appearance of Jake Burton, as the new chief of detectives, will add some spice to the series not only in the police department but in Lorraine's apartment as well. As she tries to find out who really killed Harry Nathan, all the supporting characters in Harry's world begin to die as well. As his estate travels from one ex-wife to the other, Lorraine will also travel to the Hamptons and New Mexico in an effort to tie all the loose ends together. While Lorraine is out of town, many things will be going on behind the scenes back home in LA. Rooney and Rosie have returned from their honeymoon and come up with some startling evidence that might bring Lorraine's past demons back to the forefront endangering her life. Cold Heart is definitely a perfect title for this book as my heart was cold as I read and cried through the last few pages. I have only one thing to say to the author - How Could You?

Not as good
|
|
OK don't get me wrong, it *is* a good book. I *did* loose at least a nights sleep reading it BUt there is something missing. I have loved all the first two and the third one is good but there is a definate missing piece of the puzzle that makes this one less enjoyable as the other two of the series are.

Yet another brilliant thriller by Lynda La Plante
|
|
Third in the "Cold..." serial, this book yet again had me enjoying the ingenious twist and turns of the plot. The murder of the not so likable Harry Nathan causes a trail of deaths, while ghosts from Lorraine Page's past come back to haunt her. Having just installed herself in her new office, home and life, Lorraine Page gets hired by Harry's widow Cindy to prove her innocence. Discovering more and more about the secret life of Harry, she ends up being hired by his former lawyer to look into some of the financial issues connected to the will as well. And though this will be her last case, her detective instinct is there till the bitter end and will not let her close shop until she's solved the complete puzzle. Without reveiling the plot, I can say little more about the contents. However, I can say this: this book robbed me of a good nights sleep, I just couldn't put it down. It made me smile seeing Lorraine Page's cautious attempts at gaining the happiness she craves so much and had me crying towards the end (and I don't easily cry over books). In short: I loved it.
