Customer Reviews

Very enjoyable!!

I must say, this was one of the best books I've read in awhile. Abby's comments were just hilarious! Abby and Ike make a great mystery solving team. Although a little unrealistic near the end, I thought Until It Hurts was excellent. I actually laughed out loud during many instances of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries, basketball, or just a good laugh. In my opinion, Polly Whitney's Until It Hurts definitely deserves five stars!!

Roller blading detectives are at it a third time

"Until it Hurts" is Polly Whitney's third "Until" novel. This time the TV news director Abby Abagnarro and his ex-wife Ike Tagart are at New York City's Madison Square Garden. They are granted an interview by the Icemaan, a New York Knick player. The Garden floor is pelted with buckshot. The Iceman is dead but not from the gun shots. He has been knifed. There are other shootings and yet another murder. The two, both Abby and Ike, are bickering as they have in the other two "Until" books. Abby's attitude is bit more flip this time around and that's why I rated it as an "8" as opposed to "9s" on the two precious novels. As with "Unil the End of Time" and "Until Death," "Until it Hurts" is worth the search for at booksellers and libraries. Get they now, read them and wait for the next "Unil" book which I hope is in the works.

Ike & Abby are at in again,bickering their way thru a murder

It has been a few years since the New York Knicks have been legitimate contenders for the NBA championship. This year, thanks to Archie "The Big Chill" Thorpe, the team is one of the big favorites to take it all. In spite of his importance to the team's success, The Big Chill receives an icy reception in the city because he is destroying the South American Rain Forest to make way for his ranches. As a result of his actions, he has become the most hated person in the city and refuses to give out interviews or make public appearances. ..... Ike Tygart produces the daily Morning Watch TV show. Ike maneuvers the reclusive anti-celebrity into giving an exclusive interview. She assigns her ex-husband Abby to direct the interview because she believes he is the only person who will give it the right touch. As Abby sets up the recording instruments on the basketball court, shots suddenly are fired. Every player on the court receives a minor wound, but The Bug Chill is put on permanent ice. However, Archie did not bleed to death from a bullet wound. He died from a knife wound. Ike and Abby begin to investigate the case even though it places them in the faces of the NYPD's finest. It also leaves a killer nervous enough to want to add to the body count. Polly Whitney's third Ike and Abby mystery is as witty, charming, and delightful as the previous two novels, UNTIL DEATH and UNTIL THE END OF TIME. ...... The chemistry between the two protagonists, who still love each other, enhances the engaging story line, turning a murder investigation into a fun experience for the observing audience. It will be near impossible to patiently wait for the next book in this enjoyable series. .....Harriet Klausner
