Charades - Jasmine Cresswell (Comment)

MIRA - FICTION

I have read a few romance books of Jasmine Cresswell and I have liked them.But this books is actually a suspense thriller, though it failed to thrill me overmuch.

Abigail Dean realises that she is in danger when she gets a threatening call, even when the bank manager she was supposed to meet and her newly discovered half-brother ended up dead with the same bullet.

Fortunately for her, her hero Steve Kramer lives in the apartment above her and he also does his best to try and get himself killed along with her.

The killer is revaled to be a long-forgotten mistress of Abigail's father and finally gets killed while her accomplice detonates the dynamite meant for Abigail and Steve.

For a lady who embezzeled a bank and sets up two fall guys, kills Abigail's bogus half-brother, and two bank officials, stalked her and contrived to get duplicates to her keys, enters her home and leaves nearly unnoticed, managed to procure a devoted, much younger lover cum accomplice etc, she just walked coveniently under an avalanche due to the explosives she set up to kill Abigail and Steve....

Lame...
