I read NOW YOU SEE HER with a couple reading buddies in my online book club, The Reading Cove.

It's a quickly paced book--and that's about the best thing going for it, IMHO. I actually enjoyed our discussion more than I did the book itself! LOL

This was all plot by coincidence. WAY too many coincidences! Which meant the story had little credibility and I quickly lost interest. I thought it was obvious where another writer took over, the transition was very disjointed.

There was also a disturbing theme of characterization by race--for any character that wasn't white. The white characters are described using their features, but the non-white characters weren't afforded the same treatment, they were always described as a race. Interesting.

I can actually see this as something I may have gobbled up in my teens, though, because that's pretty much the stage of intelligence you have to put yourself in to enjoy it. If you're able to dumb yourself down, suspend disbelief and turn your brain off, this may be for you, but for me it was a total waste of time.

I give it a D+. 1.5/5 stars. I really can't recommend it. You're better off reading an oldie but goodie by Sidney Sheldon instead, like MASTER OF THE GAME or THE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT. :)
