4.0 out of 5 starsNeeds more pop!
August 22, 2017
I always enjoy reading Cooper and Quinn's next case. I would like to see Quinn's character developed more so in reading a story that involved him in some way. Someone he knew, etc. so we see more of how his life is outside of work. This was not a favorite read, it's getting a little stale for me.

2.0 out of 5 starsGreat cover, lacking story.
October 5, 2017
I had a hard time with the amateurish writing style, the juvenile story, and the questionable editing. The characters all ran together until I was almost done with the book. Cooper and Quinn were interchangeable as were the forensic techs and uniformed cops. None of them stood out for me and they all seemed rather childish in both their actions and thoughts. The mystery might have worked in the 'YA' genre for young kids, but it didn't work for me. Too simple. Great cover though.

3.0 out of 5 starsOver simplified.
September 25, 2017
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
It's a soft, fast read, but if you're looking for reality, look elsewhere.
I don't know how they solve crimes in Australia, but these goof balls don't secure the murder scene, and the next day find a suspect sitting in it. So it's contaminated, there's no chain of custody for any evidence, and a first year law student would get any evidence thrown out.
However, these murderers are more forgiving, and make it easy for them.

If you have more than three cats, this is for you.

Storyline was interesting, but i couldn't keep all characters straight. Maybe i just couldnt envision the setting, since it was located on an Australian island. Just light reading.

3.0 out of 5 starsAn unpredictable who-done-it.
December 20, 2018
Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
The author and the setting is in Australia; so some of the words aren’t U.S. English; which I find to be a distracting nuisance. The story is quite good. I definitely couldn’t predict who-did-it, or how it was going to end. I liked the main character, but wished the Author had developed him a bit more; she could have also done more with setting the scenes in terms of the natural environment. It is what it is and worth a read.

Breezy who-done-it set in an Australian vacation locale. Idiomatic terms and lots of cultural flavor (no aboriginals, tho). Who murdered the reality show contestant? We find out who and why in good ord r.

This book illustrates that not all competition is good. I like the characters of Cooper and Quinn. If you like crime fiction, you will like this book.

The novella Dark Paradise delves into the real reality of a " Reality Show". Turns out the show is not very real at all but the lives of the contestants, host, and producers can become very twisted and deadly.

I didn't really get into the book. I didn't care for the characters or what happened to them. I would not recommend this author.

A little bit on the far fetched side of reality tv. Too many characters to follow and keep track of. A mystery with a little twist.
