Summary: Great Suspense..Wondderful book
Review: This book will keep you guessing until the very end. Here is the basic plot:
Kate Chandler is trying to find out what happened to her brother. He disappeared while transporting the 'seven sins' (seven blue sapphires). The FBI won't listen to her and think she is a nut job. Kate runs into FBI SA Sam Groves while she is trying to track down the sapphires. He believes her story. When people start dieing he realizes that if no one keeps Kate safe she will soon be dead.
This book was a GREAT read. I had to back up in the beginning because I forgot who was who. So pay careful attention in the first few chapters, don't read too fast like I did. This book has great suspense and a wonderful relationship between Sam and Kate, you will want to give Sam a big hug yourself at the end. What a great hero. As the book nears the end you'll think you have figured out who the killers are, but just wait. I gasped out loud when the book finally revealed the real leader. Ann Maxwell (Elizabeth Lowell) had delivered, yet again, a wonderful book.

Summary: the color of coincidence
Review: Too many characters with implausible relationships and convienent coincidences.

Summary: BORING.... (yawn)
Review: When I first starting reading Elizabeth Lowell, her characters were sexy and smoldering. Now she writes treatises on gem cutting, art collecting, etc. with a tiny bit of sexy and smoldering thrown in to the mix. Well, it's not enough for me or for many of her former fans (read the other reviews). Too bad - she used to be one of my favourites.
