Short but enjoyable,

All Or Nothing by Elizabeth Adler, is a short but enjoyable book. The characters are fun, the dialogue interesting, and the plot had me swiftly turning the pages. An appealing combination.John SavoySavoy InternationalMotion PicturesB.H. California

A cute story

This is a very easy book to read, if you can read it in an airplane you will enjoy your flight and your book, the story of a private investigator and his girlfriend solving a very peculiar case (her first case) is really cute.

Very entertaining

Having read mixed reviews about this book, I was hesitant to read it. The summary of the story sounded good and I decided to read it. I am so glad I did; the book was great and had the right mixture of romance, clever dialogue, humor, and suspense. Some scenes may not be realistic, but frankly, I don't want reality, I have enough of that every day in my personal life. This book was refreshing and easy to read. I highly recommend it.

Passionate thriller

I enjoyed my first Adler because I liked her effervescent characters, even though they are too perfectly gorgeous. The heroes are breezy, flip, active, and passionately self-absorbed characters. They are presented as if nothing else existed in their lives: no legal class prep, no other clients; how nice. They like eating out, and we get their menus, as well as learning of their ever-changing clothing (or lack). The Baedecker's worth of restaurants seems worth visiting, but as a non-Angeleño I can't verify they're real. The cross-country sleuthing is clever, if expensive for a P.I. with no visible income. Adler is a good writer, with clever turns of phrase and capable descriptions. Is there any significance that she seems to have a dynamic Jewish P.I. duo pursuing a satanic, fallen Baptist killer? Adler has the tough lingo and soft manly man attitude to a T. She likes to write, and writes with a gusto that carrried me right along. I may read more of Adler, especially since other reviewers say her other books are better than this fluff.

Great read!

I loved this book. It was the first book I read by this author & I enjoyed it very much. I thought it had a lot of suspense.
