I know I have just read a rather fine thriller,and I hope my readers can see it was just my concentration, not Robotham´s. <br /><br />Elizabeth: it is not nearly as complicated as Stieg Larsson´s plots! <br />I also think loss of memory is a great idea for a plot, and Robotham handles it really well. I also found it interesting that he used Joe O´Loughlin as the main character of the first, DI Vincent Ruiz in the second, and as far as I know a minor character from this story as the protagonist of his third novel.Dorte Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535044092722418173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-14057748630108941782009-10-10T14:13:14.841+01:002009-10-10T14:13:14.841+01:00Usually conspiracy plots tend to confuse me (bad t...Usually conspiracy plots tend to confuse me (bad to admit!) This sounds good though...I like the idea of a lost memory. Thanks for the tip, Dorte. I'll put in a request for it and see if I can follow the plotline.<br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><a href="http://mysterywritingismurder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Mystery Writing is Murder</a>Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725252734697392575.post-78528835460727756322009-10-10T13:47:41.176+01:002009-10-10T13:47:41.176+01:00I thoroughly enjoyed Lost, too, Dorte. I found it ...I thoroughly enjoyed <i>Lost</i>, too, Dorte. I found it thoroughly engaging, as you say, right from the start. I understand what you mean about conspiracy plots, though. I stopped reading Robin Cook's <i>Toxin</i> for that reason. It was well-written, but I'd read too many "conspiracy" plots at that point and just didn't want another. Bad timing, I suppose...Maybe I should try it again....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
