Hatchet Man
I completely agree with the previous reader: incompetent, angry and totally biased story. I do not recommend it even to Democratic readers-the account will confuse them only.

I have finished reading the "Suspects" in three days. And enjoyed it. It's a mystery/love story of a wealthy woman and a top echelon CIA detective who saves her from the mob, set to rob and kill her... The writing is perfect, if at times repetitive. And at the end of the book-the heroine sounds too patronizing, controlling even to her lover -the CIA agent, who saved her life and wants to build a special security system for her. But she offers to "hire" him, instead, as one of her workers to pay him a salary...even if in future they get married. That notion of her had a bad aftertaste for me.
This was non- impressive, commercialized read to me. Like "Much ado about nothing". Also, text had too much slang in it and was not was not eloquently written. I usually like stories by Carolyn Keene, but not this time. Besides, the book missed good illustrations. I would not recommend this particular item: "A NANCY DREW CHRISTMAS" to anyone.
It's well written, clear and understandable. Not a pleasant group of characters and truly dangerous situations present, but Nancy Drew and her team of teenage "detective"-friends solve them all.
I didn't like the book: it's very confusing and was overall not a pleasant account for me. Though, I usually like many of Carolyn Keene books.
