Review of Now You See Me

This was a really great crime fiction novel and I couldn't be more happy that I chose to read this book. It is so my taste. Enough about me! S.J. Bolton is no newbie to the scene and I'm almost ashamed to say that I haven't read any of her work before. If it's as good as Now You See Me is, I've been missing a whole lot. Bolton introduces us to the character Lacey Flint who is ayoung detective constable. She narrarates the story. Given from her point of view there is a lack of other character insight but I didn't mind at all. Bolton kept her foot on the gas and the action moving. It's a well paced novel.

I imagine this won't be the last time I read any of Bolton's work. There are currently two other books in the Lacey Flint series so I can start there. Lover's of Tess Gerritsen and Lisa Gardner will NEED books by this author to add to their collection. It's not an option! I'm a fan. It was very interesting how the author tied in the murders of Jack-The-Ripper with a present day killer. It makes me want to learn all I can about the mystery man. I can become a Ripperologist...

Now You See Me... Now You Don't...

I'm about 50% in the book Now You See Me by S.J. Bolton. As I'm reading I'm wondering to myself, why haven't I read anything from her before? Bolton writes well and is the English version of my Lisa Gardner (who I love). This is crime fiction as it is supposed to be. With all the guts, gore, and sadism, it is my genre exactly. I just hope the climax lives up to how explosively it's been all along. Fast paced and interesting.

Now You See Me by S.J. Bolton

I have decided to be super productive today. Now You See Me has been on my can't wait to read list for a few days now. I finally have the time opened up to read it and I hope it lives up to my anticipation.

synopsis: One night after interviewing a reluctant witness at a London apartment complex, Lacey Flint, a young detective constable, stumbles onto a woman brutally stabbed just moments before in the building’s darkened parking lot. Within twenty-four hours a reporter receives an anonymous letter that points out alarming similarities between the murder and Jack the Ripper’s first murder—a letter that calls out Lacey by name. If it’s real, and they have a killer bent on re-creating London’s bloody past, history shows they have just five days until the next attempt. No one believes the connections are anything more than a sadistic killer’s game, not even Lacey, whom the killer seems to be taunting specifically. However, as they investigate the details of the case start reminding her more and more of a part of her past she’d rather keep hidden. And the only way to do that is to catch the killer herself.
