I felt this was a good, fast paced, exciting book for people who enjoy a good who done it. Sophie Anderson is the kind of character you feel like you would like to emulate. She is like a sort of Aussie version of Jennifer Garner's old character in the TV show "Alias". I enjoyed reading this and makes me want to come back for more. This book doesn't talk about her karate abilities as much as "The Killing Hands" book but she is still a good sleuth and the author makes you want to be in her corner. She is a likable character.

Sophie is down to earth and like some women, finds her personal life a bit confusing when it comes to men. I believe a lot of women would find it easy to identify with her character therefore making it more believable and realistic. I think it is always more fun to read about someone I can identify with than a character that is too good to be true or lacks conflicts we all struggle with in real life.

There is a certain amount of humor making the story fun, eventhough the plot is serious. I had never heard of this author before I read another book about Sophie Anderson, "The Killing Hands" and didn't realize it was not the first one. Can't wait to read all PD Martin's books with this same character. If you like mysteries and thrillers, I think you will enjoy this.
