Good way to spend the weekend

I first stumbled across Mr. Prescott at my library when I was looking for a good mystery to read. My first book by him was The Last Victim. Since reading that novel, I've read his other books. Mortal Faults did not disappoint. It was fast-paced full of twists and turns. The bottom line is do you trust your friends? Caution: never turn your back on your enemies. Read it and be prepared to give up your day to finish it.

He' s Done It Again !

Michael Prescott never disappoints his readers. "Mortal Faults" is definitely up to his standards. Abbie Sinclair and Tess McCallum are together again, working on a case infolving a U.S. congressman and a mystery woman from his past. This novel has enough twists and turns to make you dizzy. The excitement builds in typical Prescott fashion and though it gets a bit scary for Abbie and Tess, the conclusion is most satisfactory.

Another winner

In Mortal Faults, Michael Prescott brings back two familiar and very likable (though not always to each other) heroines. Private Operative, Abby Sinclair, and FBI special agent, Tess McCallum, are thrown into the same case but from different angles. The story, which begins as hunt for a congressman's alleged "stalker" and expands into something more sinister, is wonderfully paced and takes numerous unexpected turns. Prescott creates a vivid, at times seedy, world that left this reader constantly guessing. As expected, Prescott has delivered another intelligent thriller with memorable characters and a cleverly layered plot. A fun, easy, enjoyable read!

Help I couldn't put this book down!

I have not read any of Michael Prescott's books before but as soon as I finished "Mortal Faults" (which I stayed up all night to finish), I went out and and purchased "Dangerous Games" where our plucky heroines did meet. Don't pick up this book until you have cleared your schedule, caffenied up, and made a cozy nesting space. Then cuddle up and enjoy.
