Great Book

This was a very good book, and once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. I read TONS of books. I bought this book not knowing about or ever hearing about Jane Holleman. It must have been fate! This book has loads of action, a great lead character, a story line that keeps you reading the book. Very fast paced, which I love in a book (I hate for things to drag along for half the book). Anyone who likes Patterson, Kellerman, Cornwell, Evanovich-you will love this book. A writing style that I fell in love with, and went out to get her other books.

Good Book!

Found this book at our local Dollar Store and was surprised that it was so good! The characters were interesting as was the plot.

A pleasant surprise

Picked this book up for an amazing price, and I wasn't disappointed. Holleman writes extremely well, and this first novel is a true delight. To the reviewer that thought it "jumped around" too much, you couldn't be more off-base. Holleman's genius is in tying up all these disparate threads into a cohesive and surprising ending. Her use of strong female character leads is refreshing as well. Pick a copy of this up; you won't regret it. I promise.

A very good thriller!Try It-you'll like it.

Allison Robbins, the spouse of the District Attorney, is a battered individual who wants to die. Going into the most dangerous part of the city, Allison chances upon Monty Jones, a drug dealing hit man, snoozing in his car. She enters his vehicle and pleads with him to kill her. However, like her selection of her mate, Allison picks the wrong killer since Monty has a conscience. He does not kill anyone who does not deserve to die, even a socialite who has observed his work. ...... Police Officer Mike Shiller killed Monty's son, leaving an enmity between them that will not end until they both are dead. When evidence surfaces that Monty is the probable killer of some lowlifes, Mike is certain that he will be able to rid himself of his nemesis forever. That desire quickly crumbles when Allison provides Monty with an alibi. All three of these scarred individuals appear to be on a collision course with a destiny that could lead to death, renewal, or both. ....... Jane Holleman's novel is a gritty, hard hitting expose that demonstrate that the lives of the rich and famous are not always any different from people residing in the slums. KILLER GORGEOUS is a work that deals with justice, not the law, for people who fall through the system's cracks; thereby, making this a rich, complex, and multi-layered suspense drama. ......Harriet Klausner
