Customer Reviews

Very likable heroine, interesting plot...

I enjoyed this book as much as the first in the series, if not more

Don't know who I'm craziest about...Rachel or Jessica!

I've been watching for this book ever since I finished Ms. Speart's first novel. I fell for Rachel then and continue to be a big fan after this second adventure. I'm male and really enjoy finding a female character to cheer for. I love the series so far and although I hate the wait between books...it IS fun to have Rachel's next escapade to look forward to. Ms. Speart has a way with words that truly amazes me and keeps me turning the pages. I actually paced myself on this one though so I wouldn't read it all in one night. Okay...I'm addicted...what can I say? Please keep those Rachel Porter Mysteries coming! It's a wonderful series and I hope it continues for a very long time.

Terrific book - Can't wait for more!

I love the Rachel Porter books and can't wait for the author to continue her escapades. Her stories tackle disturbing issues and are bound to generate anger and empathy in any animal lover or environmentally-sympathetic reader. However, Rachel does the right thing, and is an enormously engaging heroine. The plots are labrynthine and both books are page-turners. More! More!
