Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing
Review: I bought the book from a radio ad. It started out quite promising, but half way through it took a turn that left me feeling misled. There were a number of editing errors, which also detracted. I did have sufficient interest to read to the end.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CSI with sex!!!
Review: I've never read any of Michele Jaffe's historical novels, but I love mysteries so I picked up this book because I heard there was forensic stuff in it. Well, there's not just forensic stuff...there's thrills, chills, and...sex! Actually, there's a nice romance thrown in. And all set in Las Vegas! I had no idea who the killer was until the end, which for me makes any author an auto-buy. I'll be eagerly awaiting Lover Boy, which I hear is the sequel. More more more, Ms. Jaffe!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gripping
Review: Much to my surprise this book is catagorized in the romance section at the local B&N. But this book is so much more. The love story takes a back seat to a serial murder story that gave me nightmares for the first two nights. Great characters, great story, great from beginning to end. I literally lost sleep just to read this book. I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next.

Summary: Bad Girl is a good read
Review: Pages kept flowing and I couldn't stop. The ending was given a way a little to soon but overall a good read.

Summary: Bad Girl, Bad Bad Book
Review: Surely this is not the worst book that I ever bought, but it comes close.

The writing style is simplistic; the characters lack development, and most of all, the prolonged descriptions of the decapitations are unnecessary to plot development.

Too bad there's no way to give it no stars.

Summary: If Your Looking For A Romantic Suspense..
Review: This novel may not be for you. Although there is romance present it is waaaay back on the back burner. This is more of a mainstream suspense book packed with a lot of twists and turns that leave you wondering who the bad guy really is. Although the answer to that question is answered before the end of the book it is still interesting to see how Windy and her team work to get the same answer.

If your squimish you may want to avoid this story. The author goes into great detail regarding the murder scenes but I feel this only addes to drawing the reader into the story. There are lags in the story but they are few and far between. Still this was a strong novel and should not be missed.

Summary: Bad girl? Great book!
Review: Whew! What a ride! Adult readers who enjoy tight, multi-faceted mystery/thriller/suspense novels will relish this book by Michelle Jaffe.

Las Vegas police criminologist Chicago Thomas is obsessively drawn to solving the particularly gruesome serial murders of several families. Using her keen eye for crime scene detail and an uncanny inner sense, she gets a good jump on pursuing the criminal. But things are not always as they seem even for an incredibly talented criminologist like Thomas and she finds herself as as the hunter and hunted at the same time.

That short synopsis, however, does not tell the whole story. Jaffe has populated her story with many excellent characters and several compelling plotlines that simultaneously grip the reader until those lines converge in a tremendous deneouement at the end of the book. No loose ends are left untied. This is a masterful novel.

Beware, however, that there are some lurid details here that will disturb some sensitive readers. While Jaffe deftly avoids graphic sexual description until a disappointing scene near the end of the book, the gritty detail of murder and life on the seamy side can be disturbing.

Jaffe's writing skills are ver impressive. She has bettered conventional, boilerplate fiction by creating great characters (even minor characters are real) who live in the reader's memory and by spinning tale intricate and succinct at the same time. A true winner.
