2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Introducing outspoken female sleuth Alex Quick in the first of a brand-new mystery series When her business partner, acclaimed art historian and university professor Dr Helena Drummond, disappears, Alexandra Quick is consumed by guilt. Shortly before she vanished, Helena had complained of being menaced by a stalker, and Alex had dismissed her fears as groundless. Now Alex, a former police detective, is determined to use her finely-honed investigative skills to find out what’s happened to her friend and colleague. But the more she uncovers, the more Alex realizes how little she really knew Dr Helena Drummond. As it becomes increasingly clear that the woman she thought she knew so well has been keeping a great many secrets from her, Alex must decide: is Helena a victim ... or is she a killer?

I like British crime fiction but this was unevenly written. Alex Quick is an ex-detective turned art book author who discovers a dead woman in her friend‘s house. She unofficially investigates. There are a lot of characters, and many are interesting, but too many to keep track of. Alex‘s conclusions often made no sense or were redundant and some of her actions were just plain brainless. I had a hard time paying close attention to this. #LitsyAtoZ

Amanda Quick is a bit dumb. Hard to believe she was a police detective.
