Couldn't get into this; was bought as a present.

Amazon Product Description
The third in Linda Fairstein's gripping and authentic series of crime novels featuring Assistant D.A. Alexandra Cooper. With aplomb, style and sharp compassion for her 'clients' Coop again unravels the truth behind murder in partnership with homicide detectives Mike Chapman and Mercer Wallace. The victim is Deni Caxton, third wife to the heir of a steel baron and a leading New York art dealer in her own right. As Coop, Chapman and Mercer investigate her brutal killing they strip away the elegant and refined facade of her marriage and the international art world to reveal a tangle of cut-throat business dealings, over blown egos and distorted passions. They find that the rich have the same motives for murder as the poorest killer - money, revenge, love and hate - and they rapidly discover that a veneer of artistic 'civilisation' doesn't prevent the use of blackmail or violence, not even when officers of the law stand in the way.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Sent to the winner of the International Sweepstakes I couldn't find anything on your wishlist so I hope you enjoy this.

a crime author I haven't read, thank you

I finally got to attempting to read this one. It's wonderfully soporific! I had to give up after 200 or so pages though because it dragged so much. Hopefully the next reader will enjoy it more. Thanks for sharing anyway.

foe some reason i couldn't release...

over to you

Good book took a while to read through as others in the queue. Have passed to my daughter to read as she is a frequent visitor to Manchester.
