Customer Reviews

That's not true!

I don't know who wrote that Ingram Review but it's completely innacurate and they obviously didn't read the book. I'm reading the book right now, and that's not what happened at all. A man is murdered in Kit's home during one of his notorious parties, and the widow, Norah, comes the morning after, to see the place where her husband was murdered. Kit is immediately taken with her. At no point does he suspect her of murder, as far as I can tell, and he's not trying to clear his name about it either. He befriends her because he wants her, and practically falls in love (or becomes obsessed, as far as I can tell) with her as soon as he meets her. He also feels guilty that someone died in his own home, and he wants to find the murderer because he's worried the killer will try to hurt Norah too. The book is pretty good. Not as good as some of Smith's other books. The hero, Kit, is awfully sensitive about his Hindu heritage, and takes every insult to heart, which is a little annoying. But i like it, just the same, and have enjoyed it so far.
