 Death Strikes a Chord June 2, 2009
Nash Black (Jamestown, KY)
Catherine Coulter's FALSE PRETENSES was her first contemporary suspense novel and it was an excellent beginning in a new genre.
The plot is intricate as Elizabeth Carleton's good life erupts in shambles. Elizabeth is a concert pianist and her husband, wealthy tycoon Timothy is murder with an icepick while she is taking a walk. No one believes her story and she is arrested for murder.
A fast read that will keep you guessing until the end.
Nash Black, author of WRITING AS A SMALL BUSINESS and HAINTS, both of which were finalists in the 2009 Indie Awards.
 Too Contrived to be Plausible August 31, 2006

This book didn't really make too much sense. It actually felt like a daytime soap opera, with plots moving too quickly, just to finish up the storylines. The main character, Elizabeth Carlton, just didn't feel real. She does a complete about face, but still stays totally naive. She acts like a small child who will throw tantrums just to get what she wants. Overall, this is one of my least favorite Catherine Coulter books. Stick with Nora Roberts, at least her books are more enjoyable.
 Over The Top & Some Unappealing Characterizations December 31, 2005
G. H. Giroux (Phoenix, AZ United States)

Although this was a fast read, too many of the characters were unappealing and associated loose ends were too neatly tied up with life changes that seemed forced. Also, any woman with a shred of self-respect would never have done an about-face and fallen into the arms of a man who spewed such initial cruel venom and vicious words at her. That's not the kind of role-model or object of admiration one wants to project for any gender.

The wall was falling in 1989 and this writer must have felt the tremor and rumbling. The words cry out.
