Fatal Liaisonwas a fair-to-good mystery. It started off a little slowly, then picked up the pace. The plot line wasn't terrifically original and the plot development was rather thin. The characters were a little flat, but ok, and the protagonists were likable. The sleuthing was ok, too, with a mix of good ideas and good luck. Once or twice I became a little annoyed with the characters' semi-stupid actions. The police were of very little help in solving the mystery-- just providing some background nuisance.I found myself guessing some of the plot developments before they occurred; two were especially obvious. The book held my interest (though it was a close call until I got past 20%). The ending was satisfying, though a little too neat. Writing style was good. Profanity and sex were kept to a moderate level.Overall, I'd recommend it as a quick, light read, unless you want to hold out for something more sophisticated.
