TART BLOOD ORANGE by Paul Wilson ElliottMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A gripping crime novel...
TART BLOOD ORANGE by Paul Elliott is a well-written and richly descriptive novel with brilliantly drawn characters and settings. The author weaves a well-crafted crime novel with intriguing twists and turns that will keep the reader engaged from the opening chapter. The story had every element a good story should have. A solid plot, attention to detail, but best of all fleshed out, well-written and well-rounded character development.
The author has created an intriguing story-line that demands the reader keep up with each twist and insertion of new information in order to comprehend fully what the main character, homicide detective Melanie Tomas is up against. Mel emerges as a powerful force in the book, as she makes capturing the criminal and saving prospective victims her mission. Her intelligence and compassion make her an attractive lead and a solid anchor for potentially future books in this series. Fortunately, Elliott successfully connects all of the dots and doesn't leave a single loose thread at the end.
Highly recommended and a well-deserved five stars from me.
