Rating: Summary: Half thriller, half romance - and an incomplete ending Review: It seems that Ms. Hoag learned part of her trade in the Harold Robbins School of Hot Writing. How else to explain the fact that the sex scenes in this book (and there are WAY too many of them) are incredibly overdone?Add points for the thriller and mystery aspect of this book (which Ms. Hoag does extremely well), but deduct points for the ending - which leaves you wondering exactly what happened to Josh - did he just walk away? Was there an accomplice? And what's the diagnosis on him after he comes home? There are just too many unanswered questions at the end of this book, and the romantic scenes are just too unreal. I haven't seen the miniseries based on this book, and now I'm glad I missed it.
Rating: Summary: acliffhanger Review: I have just finished 540 pages of Night Sins and really enjoyed it til the last page and discovered I would have to plow thru 540 more pages of Guilty As Sin if I really want to know who did it. If GAS is a carbon copy of NS, I dread the mushy love scenes and the adultery among the "best people in the community"
Rating: Summary: Reading this felt like dejavu Review: I kept getting the impression that I had read this book before! I did, in a way. I read Guilty As Sin a few months ago. Upon checking I discovered that they are close to carbon copies of each other! Good, but too many mushy love scenes for any mystery.
Rating: Summary: Horrible. The Worst. Review: The worst book of any kind I have ever read. Wish I could have given it 0 stars. I have a thing against stopping a book before the end, so I finished it, usually having to read through a bout of nausea. And what did I get- only the stupidest ending of any whodunit ever. How could you all out there put up with that woman's whining and crying about being a woman and everybody being so against her. Every other page- "woe is me." Than she (the author) wants you to buy another book to find out what happened in this one. NEVER!!!
Rating: Summary: Completely entrancing!!!!!!! Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read. It keeps you reading. If you like suspense, sitting on the edge of your seat, or feeling your heart race then this is the book for you!!! I am looking forward to reading more.
Rating: Summary: I could not put it down! Review: This was my first Tami Hoag book given to me by a friend and I put off reading it as I'm not much of a mystery reader. I ran out of books to read so picked it up and now I'm hooked on Tami Hoag! I read in one day and then read Guilty As Sin. Thoroughly enjoyed both and plan to buy all her books. (That's what I do if I like an author) A must for mystery readers or any type reader!
Rating: Summary: Kept me guessing till the end Review: If you are thinking of buying this book, GO AHEAD. Also buy "Guilty As Sin", because the answer is in there and you would want to pick it up as soon as you were finished with the first.These books changed my mind about mysteries.
Rating: Summary: From one Minnesotan to another - great job Tami! Review: This was my first Tami Hoag novel and was quite surprised she is from Minnesota as well as I. So this made the reading more interesting because I could relate to the way the story played out in a Minnesota winter (loved the time and temp readings at the beginning of each section). It's also fun to pick out names of local places and references to the Twin Cities. I felt the story itself moved well, but it did drag in a few places. I came to like and respect Megan O'Malley and Mitch Holt for who they were and who they wanted to become. I specially liked the catfights between Megan and the reporter Paige. I don't necessarily consider this story a thriller , but more of a mystery drama. I would like to read the sequel Guilty As Sin as well as other Hoag novels to gain more of a feel for Tami Hoag's writing. So far it works and I suggest you read this book on a hot summer day!
Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT THRILLER, COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN Review: I just finished this book and loved it. It kept me guessing the whole time and now i'm equally excited to read Guilty as Sin. She's a wonderful author!!!
Rating: Summary: I loved the suspence, this is a very good book. Review: This is one of the best books I've read in a long time, some parts of the book ,I felt, kind of dragged out a little more than necessary, but all in all this was a very well written book. The suspence and drama grabbed you from page to page making you want to know who, where, and what and you just couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading Tami Hoags' next book.
