The Ghost

Rating:
Summary: Engrossing and realistic, yet oddly cold and unemotional.
Review: I found the characterization stimulating and engrossing, as well asthe subject matter. But what should come across as emotional and tenseseems exactly the opposite of that, as if the cold and calculating Ross is actually writing the story, deeply denying and burying any pretense of feeling to protect herself. If that is the authors intention, it is done well. I found it difficult to latch onto because of this.

Summary: Move over Ed Mcbain
Review: Moving away further from his Eastern Spiritual themes, Marc Olden writes another fascinated book full of twists and turns.

Based in New York, it has all the ingredients of the "bad Big Apple" . Corrupt politicians, undercover police, prostitution, drugs and stalkers.

Like Ed McBain, Olden builds strong characters that the reader relates and sympathise with, while his use of police procedures and lingo gives the book a feeling of "reality"

A most enjoyable read.

Summary: Who's Watching Your Back?
Review: New York City Police Detective Rosalind Magellan is working undercover. She is tracking a crooked judge and his lawyer who seem to be involved in every kind of illegal money making scheme. Ross needs to get the evidence ? without blowing her cover. An engaging methodical story that gets complicated by the fact that someone is tracking Ross' every movement. Someone knows what she is up to. Marc Olden has created some excellent characters for Ghost. Ross Magellan is a keeper. I would follow her investigations anywhere.
