Another cracking mystery/suspense from Vicki Tyley has hit my Kindle and, as usual, I thoroughly enjoyed it. All of her books have been excellent but Fatal Liaison seemed to shine even more, if that is possible. The suspense is leavened with humour and a hint of romance.The scene is set when Greg's sister Samantha goes missing. Meanwhile friends Megan and Brenda attend a singles social event called Dinner for Twelve, which introduces some of the potential villains - some of whom I'm sure I've met in real life ;-). During his attempts to find his sister, Greg also discovers Dinner for Twelve and thus the main characters connect. Dead bodies and red herrings increase the complexity of the plot and we are led on a wild, exciting journey until the final showdown is reached. And, no, I didn't guess who the villain was. I didn't even come close!Vicki has really pumped up her character development in this book (not that it wasn't good in her other books) but these were people you could imagine talking to at your local cafe or bar, or at a Dinner for Twelve. When I reached the end of the book I felt sad that I was leaving the company of these fictional people and, to me, this is the sign of a great book. It has taken me out of my world into its world.As usual Fatal Liaison is immaculately written and formatted. Vicki's books are always a pleasure to read for this reason, and make several traditionally published books that I have read lately look very amateur.I've recommended Vicki's books from the time I read her first release,Thin Blood. I have no hesitation in also recommending Fatal Liaison and will continue to look forward to more exciting tales in the future.
