Starting now

Well im sure the police wouls NOT be telling a random stranger that someone had tried to kill himself ..not a good start

Johnathon is getting on my nerves . I hate it when they call their partner ' lover' i used to work with a girl who did it and it made me cringe . Love is fine but not lover

And im not liking that both Domonic & Johnathon are eyeing up every man that comes their way

Im presuming this books is set in 2007 ( when written) but reads a lot earlier

So theyve sort of got an open relationship

The mystery is keeping me entertained & we've got snazzy james bond gadgets

To trust ...or not to trust !!!!

Finished

From the author blurb at back
....During the growing AIDS crisis in the late eighties, he is proud to say that he directed the first demonstration of putting on a condom on British television.

I'm starting this book tonight.

so far so good.

can we say evil pharmaceutical company? someone just tried to get into Simon's hospital room with ketamine.

Can I just say I don't really like Jonathan. Also the clubbing while Dominic away is just inviting trouble....probably the sauna too.

I'm not sure if its just me and my mood, but I'm not really getting into this one.

The fact that they were able to leave the accident site and go on to another club is amazing...

BTW. The Lost Story

Amanda just finished it. Jackie and Kirsten are currently reading and I'm starting tomorrow.

Amanda says: Very whimsical feeling too. Maybe we should tell Janine it’s MM in case she wants to join us

she also said she absolutely loved it.

**Most are reading for Lies, but Amanda is for unreliable Narrator for Quills.

I didnt like jonathon either , they just didnt seem suited together at all, even at the end i dont think he fully redeemed himself

It took me a while.to get into it and all the way through i didnt really trust anyone .

Did you finish this one Lisa ?

Yeah. They both kind of annoyed me so I didn't really like it. I think the story was great if we could have taken out a lot of the way they interact.

Domonic was ok although he didnt fit the image of a lawyer ..seemed a bit wimpy and Johnathon was very OTT

For sure. Will I read more in the series? Maybe? I liked the story a lot.

That was really getting on my nerves.
Once, I could have overlooked. But he said it multiple times.

I'm okay with open relationships sometimes.
Like I was fine with the way Three Nick Nowak Mysteries handled it. It was, when your ready to be with me openly, then I'll only be with you.

But it doesn't seem like both of them really wanted it an open relationship. And it's not like their relationship is secret.

The relationship, I wasn't onbaord. I was starting the think maybe it's me. I've been having that problem in several books this month. Maybe I'm just a big bah humbug. Glad I wasn't the only one feeling it.

Genetic manipulation to make everyone "normal"?
Funny how that hits different today, than it would have just a few years ago.
