Another fast page turner from Tami Hoag and I enjoyed it so much more the second time. Sharply defined characters, especially Elizabeth with her sharp wisecracking dialogue.. Story was good and the slow burning friendship between Elizabeth and Dane blended nicely along with the murder investigation.

Pure escapism. Very professionally written, very - dare I say it? - American thriller, a bit too much "written by the book" to my liking, but a perfect passtime when you're a bit under the weather.

Still Waters was a very good book. There are a lot of details about the murder, and she describes scenes very well. It takes a very creative person to describe in detail what a person is wearing so you can see them as if they were really here. The story is written so you don't want to put it down.

Along with the "who-done-it" storyline, it has an ever thickening plot. The “on the side” romance though, could use a tone down. I’m not a prude but this was “too much information.”
