Lock up Your Daughters - an exciting and taut psychological thriller, featuring policeman Simon Grant and entourage.

From the beginning pages the story unfolds, with many twists and turns. Characters are introduced regularly, and the yarn gets off to a great pace.

Each chapter has a title heading and date - and you need to keep your wits about you as Simon flits between different periods in his life, both present and back to university days.

And you have to pay particular attention to these periods as numerous clues are slipped in catch the reader unawares.

So, masses to think about and I have to confess I did NOT know who the murderer was until Mira K-B revealed all.

I would have given this the full Monty of 5*****, but for 2 minor things. I did have a bit of difficulty in the initial chapters, in keeping up with the rather largish cast, and I didn't really take in the dates - and these are very important, as I've already explained. Perhaps the fault lies with me, but I believe there might have been too much thrown in, in too short a time.

Saying all that, it is a rattling good story, lots of unique things to think about and I would read another of Ms K-B's books given the chance.

I wish there was the wherewithal to award this 4.5 stars as this is what the book merits.
Good luck, Mira - a great read that kept me engrossed for days!

Leí este libro tras Hiding the Elephant, y creo que no está a la altura del primero. Es confuso en ocaciones - muchos personajes, demasiados flash-backs, y además se echa en falta el juego de perspectivas que hacía elprimerlibro tan intesante. Los personajes,aquí,están menos 'vivos'.

I've probably read about a million books in my lifetime. But nothing quite like this. The plot was good, but you had to dig it out of run-on sentences, missing words, spelling erros, and unmemorable characters.
The book jumps right into an interplay between two characters, neither of which has been given a personality. New characters appear in the same fashion. The angst of several marriages doesn't contribute a thing to the plot, and in fact when I finished the book I was left in a vacuum about most of the characters. What happened to them? The ending was like the author had run out of ideas and steam.
This book was not edited; if it was, it was edited by a person with English as a second language. Someone should have gone through the manuscript and, besides correcting missing words and spelling catastrophes, should have shortened the sentences and thrown out all the unnecessary bumph. I would not read another book by this author, even at 99 cents. The only reason I finished it was to find out who the murderer was. And that question was only partly revealed. Sorry, I'd give it a miss.

This book made me cringe throughout, with its countless spelling and grammatical errors. It seemed like it hadn't even been given a cursory proof-reading by someone with a good command of the English language. The mystery had some good points, but overall, there were too many characters to keep track of, and I couldn't wait to get to the end, not because I was in suspense, but so I could be put out of my misery. I will not be reading any more books by this author.

This sequel to "Hiding the Elephant" is in desperate need of an editor. The number of grammatical/spelling errors, typos and plain old misuse of words was abysmal.

The story wanders all over the place with characters popping up, disappearing and then reappearing much later.Thank heavens for the "search" feature.

I don't have any idea if the author ever reads these critiques, but if so I would chastise her for letting errors such as the following ever make it into print:
Whishing for wishing (three times!), style for stile, flack for flak, neigh for nigh, dogged for dodging bullets, " hey-fever," pluming for plumbing, desert for dessert, a smooth loan for lawn, loped for lopped, looser for loser, "chentrelle, cep and morelle" for chanterelles, cepes and morels, ad infinitum...truly depressing that such a poorly edited book would ever make it into the market.

The story itself has so many branches that the reader gets lost or ends up not really caring who did it. The infidelity theme carried over from the first book did almost nothing to further the story line.

For the sake of literate readers of murder mysteries, please, please do not subject us further to this kind of horribly edited verbiage..
