Great Characters
Typical La Plante. Never writes a bad novel in my opinion. Great characters.

Lazy, badly researched junk
I love the Anna Travis series and had high hopes for Lorraine Page - I was sorely disappointed. Overwrought, under-researched, completely improbable and way too long. If you want to read great present-day stories about LA cops stick to Robert Crais and Michael Connelly.

a great read
This book is really good for showing the fallibility as well as strengths that lie in all of us, provided there is passion for life.

Cold Shoulder
I always enjoy reading Lynda La Plante books. I have read Cold Heart and Cold Blood, which are the 2nd and 3rd of this series, so, I was very glad to read Cold Shoulder to see how it started. I would recommend any of Lynda La Plante books, as they are so well researched and written and get you in.

cold shoulder
This is the original book in a trilogy of Lorraine Page and having read Cold Heart and Cold Blood it was interesting to see how the tone was set and then played out to the full.

Recommend Lynda La Plante for all readers.
I have just started to read it and as usual Lynda La Plante is a gripping read. Shame about the condition of the book though.
