"Loverboy" gave me a great time. Suspense, humor, love, twists, all the ingredients for a successful thriller.
Imogen is a heroine strong human character with a pig (as I like what!) Embedded in an investigation where the killer appears to have always one step ahead and where time is counted, the most horrible tortures inflicted on the victim several days before his execution. Flanked by a team in awe of her, she will have to deal with Benton Arbor, businessman and playboy of his condition, best friend of the victim, who oversees the survey.
The tense and funny situations, these two will face each other, to assess and eventually appreciate.
The survey is brisk style is fluid and dynamic, you never get bored. Michele Jaffe sow some pitfalls and false trails on our way to help keep the suspense of the final outcome.
Discovery with "Gaslight," Michele Jaffe is an author that I will continue to read his writings are so agreeable.
