Kat’s Review:I am definitely somebody who enjoys Leigh Russell as an author and in particular her Geraldine Steel series. I have read the first two books in this series and although they weren’t terrible they weren’t books that left any impression on me and I was never in a rush to read another. I saw that book three was still on my kindle so decided to give it a go as sometimes the first few books in a series don’t give the right impression.
I think my main issue with this series is the character Lucy Hall. She is an okay character but not one I felt drawn to as a reader. After Lucy spent a year in Paris working as an investigative reporter, she starts researching a spate of missing people which leads her to her next story. In this case the mysterious disappearance of a man named Dominique in Rome. It soon becomes apparent she is not the only one looking for Dominique and this puts Lucy firmly in danger with a criminal gang.
This story trundled along and wasn’t one that I felt engaged in and in addition there was a fair bit of repetition which became pretty apparent and a little irritating. I managed to finish this book but it felt like an effort because I can’t leave a book unfinished it drives me mad. However, in this case it felt like a necessity and not an enjoyment. I think for now I will stick to the Geraldine Steel series by this author which I really enjoy.
