I really enjoyed this character driven story even though the romance was almost nil, there was only an HFN, and there were unanswered questions about the other guy. But I couldn't put it down because Tom was a stitch to read. Not laugh out loud funny, but sarcastic and sweet and snarky all rolled i...

I made a bound-to-grow list of what I favour the most in J.L. Merrow’s stories :- the front seat in her characters’ head - her chameleon gift- her language- her unlikely couples- her catsNo item was missing in Pressure Head. The romance and murder solving plots were simple but well done and I enjoye...

I want a plumber like Tom Paretski. The ones I've dealt with so far were either trying to rip me off or grope my ass. Or both. And they never call me 'love.'I want a PI like Phil Morrison. Because he's got class, he knows how to dress, and he cares about his clients. He's not half bad to look at, ei...

I love J.L. Merrow and was looking forward to reading this one for a challenge. Like many other reviewers have noted, this book is more a mystery than a romance. The first kiss didn't occur til over a 100 pages in. I felt a bit frustrated with the super slow build up at that time, as it felt like ...

So I enjoyed this well enough while I was reading it even if I thought it was a little lightweight. I read it in one sitting and went to bed. The next morning I was fishing around my ereader trying to find my next book. I opened up something and started to read when suddenly I remembered a bit about...

I started reading this with a 4 star rating in mind. But got bored along the way and ended up with only 2 stars.There was nothing to hold my interest of pique my curiosity as the story progressed. There was a murder. Contrary to every other time he'd been called to help, Tom gets involved in the inv...
The Book High
The Book High rated it 12 years ago
There were several elements in this book that seemed formulaic, such as the tall, strapping, silent and intimidating PI/cop; the open, friendly, easily-imperiled sidekick brought along to encourage witnesses to open up. There were enough fresh, new, fascinating things thrown in here that it never f...

I really enjoy this author's writing. I'm not always a fan of reading British slang, but it never seems to bother me with J.L. and I often find that's one of the things I enjoy about the story. I loved Tom with his bum hip and keen ability to find lost things/people. Phil, I wasn't so sure about ...

A bitter indictment of Britain's uniquely vicious history of homophobia and the inevitable results thereof—cunningly disguised as a cozy, cuttingly funny, hedgerow-piercing murder mystery with romantic m/m elements and a publican tour.Also, two cats named Merlin and Arthur. Obviously.The shame of th...
