Title: A Fresh Voice in the Mystery Genre
Review: There are so many books to read. Yet, I sometimes find myself bored with the "same old, same old" {even from "tried and true" authors). As I skim "new" books, they often seem so familiar that I cannot remember if I've already read them. However, Ms. Nichols' writing presents a new and fresh voice. Immediately, I realized that her characters, plot and situation were unique. The book is fast-paced -- a real page-turner which I found hard to put down. In fact, I put everything else aside and read it in one week-end.The plot is intriguing, and the depth of situational and character exploration make this book extraordinary. The realistic portrayal of young inner-city dwellers will absorb those who have "lived the life", as well as those who have not. Perhaps most engaging of all is Ms. Nichols' depth of character exposition -- this aspect brings to mind the writings of Elizabeth George and P.D. James. You are bound to enjoy it!
