MY REVIEW
I finished reading this book on my lunch break today and wanted to get my thoughts down as soon as I could for my stop on the blog tour!
I have to say that I really enjoyed this story, it was different from what I expected based on the author’s previous releases but in a very good way, I thought it was a really good way to approach and tell the story. I loved the different time periods where you go forward and back in time to learn about the past, and present for Miranda.
Miranda is one of those characters that you will remember for a while. She has a brilliant unstable personality and I loved that about her, she as really well developed and I can imagine the author having lots of fun writing about her.
4.5 stars from me for this one, rounded up to 5 stars for Goodreads and Amazon – very enjoyable thriller and I can’t wait for his next book to be released!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
After reading English at 3 Universities and graduating from none of them, I set off travelling around the world with my wife, Ann, finally settling in South Africa, where we still live. After Ann dropped a rather large speaker on my head I came up with the idea for a detective series.
DS Jason Smith was born. Smith, the first in the series was finished a few months later. 3 years and 8 DS Smith books later, Joffe Books wondered if I would be interested in working with them. As a self-published author, I agreed. However, we decided on a new series – the DC Harriet Taylor Cornwall series. The Beekeeper hit the shelves and hit the number one spot in Australia. The second in the series, The Perfect Murder did just as well. The third in the series, The Backpacker I have self-published and there are plenty more to come.
Unworthy, the ninth Smith instalment was followed by a totally new start to a series – a collaboration between the Smith and Harriet thrillers. Entitled The Enigma, it brings together the broody, enigmatic Jason Smith and the more level-headed Harriet Taylor.
Miranda is something totally different. A stand-alone psychological thriller, it is a real departure from anything else I’ve written before.
A new Smith/Harriet book is in the pipeline as is the 10th Smith instalment.
