QUICK ON THE DRAW by Susan Moody
published by Severn House
MY REVIEW
Interesting easy to read book by author Susan Moody, also known
as Susan Elizabeth Horwood and known as the Step-mother of Crown Princess Mary of
Denmark. Moody has her own titles as does her step daughter, but Moody’s are
more of the book type of titles.
This book, Quick on the Draw, is the third book with
character Alex Quick, a former police detective as its star character. Alex has
a very young and very handsome friend who calls upon her to help save him from
his Uncle’s wrath. After holding a dinner party in a swanky apartment on loan
from his uncle, Sandro finds some very expensive baubles missing. Well, maybe
not baubles, more like an outrageously expensive ring and painting missing. He
needs to get them back in the apartment before his uncle misses them. Even more
so, one of his friends has sticky fingers and he wants to know which one it
was. As a former cop, he feels Alex is his answer and begs her to help.
There is a lot to this story. I guess you could call them
twists and turns but my best description would be that while this is not heavy
reading there are enough things occurring that you do need to concentrate.
You’ll notice I said this was easy to read and I would still describe it that
way. It kept my attention well enough to move along quite quickly, no pun about
the character’s name intended.
Much of this story takes place in Vienna and since Alex also
has a background in art, the art conversation and scene descriptions are very
enjoyable. The characters were well-defined. Alex was defined enough that I
found I liked her very well and when a reader begins to like a character,
well…they are usually hooked.
Susan Moody has several other books too. Check them out.
