Smooth Story Plot
This book was on my TBR list and I finally read it. I am glad I did. I enjoyed the mystery and suspense of the story. Though I can't picture some of the things described due to my lack of knowledge on the London layout, I find this to be a thrilling and exciting story and can't wait for book two

This was an incredible suspense/mystery with abit of sexual tension thrown in. The chemistry between the two main characters was really well developed as were the characters themselves. The complexity of their relationship had as many twists and turns as the plot. What makes a book great in this genre for me is not being able to predict what will happen and Hunter definately achieved that with this story.

I truly Enjoyed this captivating story!!
This is my first book by James R. Hannibal, and I hope that it is not my last one. I put him on par with DiAnn Mills and Lynette Eason in the mystery and suspense genre. Chasing the White Lion is the second book in his Clandestine Service Series, it can be read as a standalone. However, I have the first book on order already

One Man's Obsession
Unlawful Entry- is a really good suspense thriller. The suspense, the thrills, the drama, the mystery are all excellent.
The plot: Happily married Michael (Kurt Russell) and Karen Carr (Madeleine Stowe) call the police after a failed robbery. Officer Pete Davis (Ray Liotta) arrives and helps arrange the installation of a new security system. The grateful Carrs have Pete to dinner and strike up a friendship. Pete invites Michael to ride with him during a night's patrol and gives him the chance to beat up the burglar. Michael refuses and tells the disturbed cop to stay away, but Pete begins stalking the terrified couple.
Its a excellent film. Highly recordmend.

Lovely little short book that left me wanting more! I haven’t read A Good Girl’s Guide To Murder, but I got the feeling from this prequel that it was the murder mystery dinner that ignited the passion in Pip to try and solve the murder that happened in her little town 5 years previously.
The murder mystery dinner was written so well that I felt like I was there and solving the “murder” with the characters. There was also the suspense of the environment around the dinner party with the weird noises and lights going out, which really made me wonder whether there was something sinister going on around them or if everything had a genuine explanation. I think it added to the suspense of the murder mystery part and made you more aware of little things, which I guess is why people like murder mystery parties!
I loved the writing style and how the notes were included as though you were reading them off the slip of paper that had been found, which doesn’t very often happen in books. I thought it was a nice addition and really gave you the feel of being a part of the dinner party. <br/>This has definitely made me want to read on and read the next instalment from Holly Jackson.

Emotional drama with unexpected mystery suspense
I was a little hesitant to read this as it what I had seen about it indicated that it was an 'emotional', 'touching' story, possibly a tear-jerker - not my kind of thing, as I generally prefer books with a dramatic narrative rather than exploring character relationships. I was, however pleasantly surprised.
The novel manages to interweave the development of relationships and characters with the subplot of a mystery. I found myself invested in Eleanor as a character as we delve into her psyche and analyse it alongside her. Frustrating at times and funny at others, it makes for an interesting journey.
The underlying mystery is not overplayed - exposing itself naturally over the course of Eleanor's development and leading to a satisfying resolution.
