Review: A treat for Sasha fans
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 22, 2013
For some reason I didn't get round to reading this novella which is part of the Sasha McCandless series, and as a result, some (admittedly minor) detail of Melissa F. Miller's latest novel,Improper Influence (Sasha McCandless Legal Thriller No. 5), didn't make sense. But better late than never, and even if I'm now one step ahead of the storyline, I still really enjoyed this interlude between novel no. 4 and 5.All the ingredients are there - Sasha, Connelly and the trouble that inevitably follows them. As usual, every page is a delight, thanks to Miller's knack for writing tight, fast-paced prose that never loses its thread in unnecessary meanderings. Melissa F Miller is a writer who follows the rules of fiction writing the way many famous writers could only dream of: every sentence contributes to the plot, or to character development. Nothing has been left into the final draft by accident - and that is a rare quality to find in modern writing.I won't let these novellas pass me by again, so expect a review of Miller's latest offering,A Marriage of True Minds: A Sasha McCandless Novella (Sasha McCandless Legal Thriller No. 5.5)very soon.
