I read faithless a few months ago and have just got skin privilege from the library .

I am really enjoying them and just wondering if anyone else is too?

Haven't read her yet, but I read an interview with her in the weekend papers, and got interested. So, watching this thread for opinions...

I've read a few of hers and her plots and characters are great. It's all very fast paced and the books are real page-turners.

The only niggle I have with her is that the misery is a bit unrelenting. All her characters are either evil or emotionally traumatised by some horrific event in their past. Even when the crime is solved the misery continues. I can't say much about the ending of Skin Privilege as you haven't read it yet, but I think I'm a bit of a romantic and would like to have at least a hint of a happy ending.

I think these books are laughably bad, and she frequently gets facts wrong.
OK for a quick read if you are bored, but I wont be buying any more of her books.
