Oh my, I'm managing to catch up slowly with this series, and you know what, i'm thrilled I've had the chance to read these last few books back to back, because each one just leaves me wanting more.
I absolutely love the character Rosie Gilmore. I think the fact that she's a journalist rather than a detective really helps make Rosie stand out. Each book just shows tat for Rosie there is no boundaries, If she needs to get the full story, she had no limits, she will go all out to get it. It doesn't always do her any good, and sometimes she ends up in a bit of a scrape or two.
This really is a first class gritty thriller, and really does leave you wanting more. This could be read as a stand alone, but I really can't recommend enough how much better the books are, when read in order.
This book really does deserve more than the 5 stars given. Each time I finish one of these books, I just think there is no way Anna Smith can improve with another story, yet each one really does get better and better. This author is by far one of the best around for pulling you into each and every page, keeping your attention the whole way through and throwing in one or two things you just really wasn't expecting. I really can't stress how much this series of books needs reading.
I would like to thank Netgalley and Quercus Books for an advance copy of Kill Me Twice, the seventh novel to feature super sleuth Rosie Gilmour. Kill Me Twice was another excellent read which took hold of me from the start and I couldn't wait to.finish it. Recommended!!!
Hey, guys!
I need to thank NetGalley and Quercus for giving me the opportunity to meet Rosie Gilmour. I would really like to be her friend, in real life. No kidding!
Rosie is a reporter from the Post, and she is covering the apparent suicide of a very famous model – Bella Mason, that happened in a hotel in Madrid. However, Rosie feels this does not feel like a suicide and that some parts of the puzzle just do not fit right.
To add more spice to it, Millie Chambers, the wife of a very important politician, was in that hotel that very night, and she is the only one who can shed some light to all the investigations – but this is far from being an easy task to be done.
Everything comes to its peak when Mitch and Dan come on the scene, and more secrets are revealed. Together with Rosie, Millie Chambers and the lovely Bridget, they become a kind of a league to find the truth about Bella´s death and expose many other criminals, its shameful crimes and network.
Kill Me Twice is not only a thriller… It of course has its plot built around Bella Mason´s death, and it is very well written. Nevertheless, it also touches very sensitive issues such as drugs, political scandals, corruption, child abuse, etc. A book made me think of many situations I have seen on the news, and I was able to relate all of the passages of the book to the real world. This was creepy, but awesome, if you know what I mean.
I would (and certainly will) read more of Anna Smith´s books, especially those with Rosie Gilmour – I get attached to the characters, I confess.
Hope you get a chance to read this amazing book, and see you on the next trip!
