Death on the Diagonal

Summary: it may be a bit chaotic...but hey, so is life !
Review: Allright, compared to the other 'Banks, this one's story seems a bit wobbly. But it's funny. Carolyn Banks has a sense of humor and reality that reminds me of the old tv-series "Soap". Really, they should make her books into a tv-serie. I'll watch.

Summary: OK But Not Great
Review: I haven't read any of her other work, but judged as a mystery and a horse novel it was OK. I wasn't particularly impressed by the plotline as it tended to be slow in many places. The ending, however, was an excellent surprise. This isn't a bad book, but I wouldn't read it again.

Summary: Death on the Diagonal by Carolyn Banks
Review: I thought the book was pretty good. That's why on the scale from 1-5 I gave it a 4. I thought the book had a great plot with a lot of crazy twists and turns. I thought it was great that it kept you guessing who killed Towns. I also thought that the book did a good job of explaining things so the average person could understand. Instead of just saying she was holding a knife to her throat. They went into detail, they explained that she was holding an X-acto knife to her neck the sharp kind where if the victim made any kind of movement the knife would have plunged deep into the victim's neck. I thought it was great that every character introduced had a purpose one way or another. What I did not like about the story was that it did not go over a character long enough, I have a hard time remembering names and it would have made it a lot easier if they would have told the first and last name of the person. I thought the book should have been a little longer, because the ending is blah. It also doesn't leave a window for another book, but that can be a bad or good thing depending on if you like sagas or not.
