Lethal Love

pavlos

A body is discovered in the first chapter and a tale of mystery, murder and intrigue follows peppered throughout with integral erotic segments.

 

The opening chapter finds the body of a woman in a water tank belonging to the restaurant owned by two Greek men. From here an investigation begins. Difficulties arise in solving the woman's death as no cause can be ascertained nor motive. Why did somebody kill her, a relative nobody with few friends? Are the Greek restaurant owners the innocent parties they appear to be? More deaths occur. No one knows how they die. No one know why they die. Many questions go unanswered to entice the reader to keep turning the pages. A unique form of bio-warfare is on offer to the highest bidder. Towards the end of the novel a military style fortress becomes the focus of attention, where a wounded hostage forges an allegiance with the on-site doctor and an action packed escape is attempted. Do they succeed? Who is double crossing who? Will the cause of all these deaths be solved? Who is ultimately at the bottom of all this conspiracy?

Energetic and colorful. Andres is well portrayed and so too Nicos. I really enjoyed Lethal Love.

Right away you got me hooked, I needed to know what was in that tank. This definitely moves along at a brisk pace, I'd be intrigued to see where it goes.

Pavlos:

Lethal Love is a perfect title for your novel. It has a solid premise and flows at a good pace. Just a few things broke up the pace for me.

Chapter 3 - "The cause of death is still unknown!" Seems to have an exclamation where one is not needed. Also, in Chapter 4 - "It was only when I saw her laid out on that table that I realised I knew who she was!"

I didn't feel the emotion from the character leading up to the quote justified an exclamation.

I still enjoyed your story. Backed.

Pavlos, I saw your comment in the forums, so I decided to check out the book and ended up backing it. Nice first chapter--I always like it when a body turns up right off the bat.

Lethal Love:

Pavlos, I saw Lethal Love on Suzannah’s shelf so this prompted me to check this out.

I didn’t read your pitch before reading so wasn’t sure what to expect.

I love lot’s of dialogue in books and you certainly have tons of it here. You can really feel the panic in the kitchen but I wondered if there weren’t a tad too many explanation marks! ;)

And boy, I wasn’t expecting that ending. :o. Great motivation to turn to chapter two.

All the best with this.

Already on my shelf.

Excellent beginning. I like dialogue driven writing, it gives an intimate first hand experience of what is happening.

Many people will say that narrative is necessary...of course it is, yet you have managed to convey so much without needing to rely heavily on it.
this is fast -paced and intriguing , the hook at the end of Ch1 is perfect, a page turner to be certain. I would suggest breaking the pitch down into 2or perhaps 3 paragraphs....readers tend to be in a hurry, white space and clear definitions will draw the eye and the backing. Your writing deserves to be seen.

Backed with pleasure.
