Suspicion of Betrayal

Summary: Good Summer Read
Review: While the book was well written, the plot was extremely predictable. The first mention of the kitten, I suspected what was going to happen to it and was right. The villian was also easily recognized (not to give plot away, but, sorry, it's just too obvious - the second time she was mentioned, it was blatantly obvious - which ruined the book as there was no more intrigue. Plot would have done better if villian was not mentioned as often as she was - by the final time, even my cat could have figured it out). And total switch of character Anthony was too far - in previous books he was always depicted as straight-shooter-stand-up-type-of-guy - now he's a crooked abuser - just way too far on believable scale).

Summary: Heartache in Miami
Review: Wow what a page turner. After having read all of the previous Suspicions this one left me thirsty for the next one. The ending leaves you feeling empty and incomplete. The murderous plot is exciting but what gives the book it's richness is the relationship between Gail Connor and her sizling lover Anthony Quintana. In this Chapter of their relationship you see the frailty of what has become a tempestuos relationship. Both of them are so overcome by their passion that neither one of them can think straight. I found myself wrought by physical heartache every time Gail and Anthony blundered into another act of betrayal in the name of love. As a cuban american living out west this book left me longing for the sounds of Miami. The descriptions of the exiled Cuban community are right on. A must read especially now during the Elian crisis in Miami. May is too far away to wait for the next installment. Please Barbara but and end to my heartache.
