Dead Write was a great read. Loved(?) the characters, and the twists. I never gave graphology much thought until starting this series, and loved the breakdown of her conclusions about the handwriting samples, what she saw, how she interpreted it, etc. Fun read. Reading Last Writes now :)

was okay -not great

It's quite possible I wasn't in the proper mood for this book, but I really could not get into Dead Write. I've read the previous two books in this series but found that I just didn't care about the characters and could not stomach reading any more dialogue from Grusha. The handwriting analysis part of the story was interesting but after trying to hang in there, I finally gave up less than half way through and flipped to the end to see how it turned out.

Fun! Not as good as the 2nd installment, but it was still entertaining. Dragged a bit in the middle, and I felt kept in the dark at the beginning. Ends with a bang! I would love to have my handwriting analyzed!

I enjoyed this book from start to finish, well written and nicely narrated, it had a good flow and the plot was easy to follow and interesting. Some great characters in the book, not all of them likeable, by design, but all described well so that I could visualise them. I didn’t work out until near the end who the killer was.

Part of this series’ appeal is that while it deals with a forensic science this is a small part and not the entire focus of the story and the details are described in a way that the layman can understand, not bogged down in the gobbledygook that some forensic books seem to feel is vital but which goes way over the heads of many readers. Kudos for that.

I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
