To Play the Fool

Summary: Her Best Kate Martinelli
Review: I've enjoyed all of her Kate Martinelli books, but this is by far the best of them. It ranks up there with some of my favorite mysteries! It's a highly original creative book -- one that builds on the typical "woman sleuth solves mystery" but adds interesting complexity and fascinating characters to the mix. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: The Fool is the most memorable book I've read in years!
Review: Kate Martinelli continues to enrich my world. Erasmus lives in my neighborhood. The subject matter, a cultish offshoot of christianity, was absolutely facinating to me. To learn more a bout a character I like and a brand new subject, what a delight. Kate and her lover continue to be richer characters with each novel.

Summary: The Best of Martinelli
Review: This book has made me a huge fan of Laurie King. I really liked her other Martinelli books and love the Russel series, but this book is far and above her best. It was very hard to put down and when I finished, she kept me wanting more. Readers who love interesting characters will love this book. Brother Erasmus is the best of the supporting cast. I just wish we could have more of him! The plot is exciting and unique as well. A great read!

Summary: Did I miss something?
Review: Throughout this book, I felt like I'd missed something. Since I bought four books together, I kept double-checking that I wasn't reading them out of order. That point aside, the story is a very good one and I felt really connected to the characters in this book. I would give it a better rating, except that I think that the first and third books are better.

Summary: Absolutely Captivating
Review: What a sensational read! The San Francisco atmosphere, the subtle but brilliant plotting, and the unforgettable character Erasmus make this a book to relish. I've read it several times since it was first published, and it never fails to entertain and intrigue me. Buy it and read it -- it's a keeper. (And don't miss the other books in the Martinelli series.) Three cheers for Laurie King!

Review: Wow - a book worth re-reading, just to savor the delicious prose and extremely human characters! Everything about this book is delicious. The plot is a good blend of suspense and fun, the characters have soul, and the writing is superb. Some chapters and passages were so well crafted that I went back to enjoy them two and three times. It's amazing what King can do with black ink, white paper, and 26 letters. King's books are all good, but this has got to be the best of all. I think I'll go read it again!
