I really enjoyed meeting this couple...the aloof glass queen and the down-to-earth PI. I'd like to visit with them again. Jane, yes?Set in an interesting area of the states. Lots of local color. Against that backdrop, the mystery was woven with great care.
Krentz has done it again. I love everything this book had to offer, love, humor, intrigue, suspense, danger and definitely great sex. I loved Cyrus and Eugenia. They are a fantastic couple. You'll love this book. Trust me!
Two unlikely strangers join together for a common goal brings us to the world of mystery that will give us something new to think about. Ms. Krentz truly shows her ingenuity in this book and she has the readers spellbound with her characters. Imagine two totally oppistes discovering love and finds happieness in each other. It's about time we take a look around us and see the goods in each other to understand that we're actually very much alike after all. I'd recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good book and expects quality that only Ms. Krentz can deliver. Ms. Krentz holds the strings that tugs at our hearts.
This latest Jayne Krentz offering shows her writing technique at its best. While not my favorite work, I thoroughly enjoyed it for all the qualities her work has always displayed: a fine blend of humor, adventure and romance and wonderful characters in both the main and supporting roles. But what makes this one rate well is the craft she exhibits in the plot development, which is better than in some of the other novels that I find just fun reads. One of the most interesting points which longtime Krentz' readers should pick up on is the parallels between this book and Grand Passion, with a little role reversal thrown in.
Jayne Ann Krentz has created another fabulous romantic suspense Novel! Eugenia's friend, Nellie, had supposedly committed suicide near Frog Cove Island, due to grief over the accidental death of her lover. However, Eugenia did not believe it was suicide. Eugenia suspected murder. When Adam Daventry died he left his entire glass collection to the museum Leabrook. Eugenia went to Daventry's house on Frog Cove Island to catalogue the pieces and look into Nellie's death. Cyrus Colfax was a private investigator. While delivering a valuable glass piece of art, called the Hades Cup, his partner, Damien March, stole it. Cyrus was shot and left for dead. Cyrus' wife, Katy, knew too much and was killed. After three years Cyrus had traced the Hades Cup to Frog Cove Island in his search for Damien and revenge. He used Eugenia to get there. Now it was a hunt a long lost glass work of art, before everyone dies. ***Exciting! Krentz is one of my favorite authors! Worth buying in hardback to keep forever.***
