Two people die of rabies, neither of whom appears to have been in contact with an infected animal. This must be murder – but by whom? And what is the motive? The police find a surgeon who has connections with both victims, and are inclined to charge him with the murders, but detective Aisha Sawyer has other suspicions. Meanwhile, Aisha’s husband is offered a chance to return to work in the music industry, a job he loved until his wife’s jealousy made it too difficult to continue. Poor communication between husband and wife and the stresses which it brings to their marriage means that they don’t see there is a connection between her case and his job offer, the connection being the wealthy widow Chosen who has recently bought a hip-hop recording business from the mother of her late fiancé, Trap, one of the murder victims, Chosen having been the beneficiary of a huge life insurance policy taken out on him. I thought the plot and storytelling were excellent, and was intrigued by the fact that the murderer was made obvious to the reader from early on in the book, leaving us free to follow the complexities of the police operation. And I thought the ending was unusual and interesting and was left wondering what will come along in the sequel. However, and it is a big however, I don’t think this book will be a great success here in the UK. American police methods and ethics are very different from the UK (although people who watch a lot of imported crime dramas might be familiar with them, but as far as I’m concerned watching TV wastes valuable reading time!), American hip-hop culture and lifestyle are almost unknown to the average British reader and most of all, the slang and dialect used in many of the conversations left me floundering around without a clue what was going on. I would love to know what happens in the next book in the series – but I’d want a translation of some sections of the book!

This was a somewhat unexpected crime novel.

A fiction novel written in third person, set in current times and in America. This was a somewhat unexpected crime novel. At first I wasn’t sure if I liked the book but was soon proved wrong and actually really enjoyed it. I came to quite like Chosen (the main character) despite her wrong doings as I think in a way you began to justify what she was doing or rather like everyone else pehaps just fell for her charm! I was also surprised with the ending as I felt we were left with a bit of a cliffhanger, although I am not detailing this in my review so that I do not give the game away! The story centres around two confident and feisty women, one a detective. The other a murder suspect. Both are very intelligent women and good at what they do.... Read Full Review

It is a very interesting book. The ending leaves you wanting to find out more.

Strange deaths are occurring and Aisha Sawyer has to solve them with her partner, Travis. There is no explanation to some of the deaths. Aisha has special qualities, especially when pregnant. She sees visions of things that are about to happen. Finally, Aisha interviews a suspect and immediately says she is the guilty one. No one believes her, as there is no proof. “Chosen”, the suspect, has another name but it takes a while to find out who she really is. A Doctor is also questioned. Then the twist and turns happen. It is a very interesting book.... Read Full Review
