And here’s a neat review for Sharp Turn.

‘Set in Perth the story winds around the drug market, unrequited love, low level lust, bad guys, good guys and unexpected guys to make a very readable story … A great summertime read; light, enjoyable, fast paced and almost believable!’ Blue Wolf reviews.

And here is a rather cool review for Sharp Turn.

Sharp Turn is the second book in this series about Tara Sharp, a private investigator of sorts.  Tara is a sexy, car loving, West Australian girl with the unusal ability to read auras. The series is similar to the Janet Evanovich books, but with a unique Australian flavour.  Sharp Turn has motorbikes, gorgeous love interests, an assistant with narcolepsy and a runaway teenager. Fun, action packed and well written, they are a joy to read for all fans of sassy women heroines. — Leanne, Kiama Library

Wagga Book Buzz says: If you like Janet Evanovich you will love this series. It is set in Perth and Australian author Marianne Delacourt keeps you entertained … I can’t wait for the next book.

And Batgirl’s Book Blog says: I … found the book(s) to be funny, clever and worth reading.

Fingers crossed my In Conversation will also be up there. The 13th Street website has recently undergone a face lift and some of the content is still to be reinstated. When it is, you MUST check out Tara’s In Conversation with crime authors. They are really fabulous interviews. I particularly love the ones with Kathryn Fox and Neil Cross.

They finished by saying, ‘I’d recommend reading this extract if you’ve never read any of Marianne’s books before and reckon you’ll want to rush out and pick up a copy shortly after.’

She said Says:

Sabotage, murder, kidnap and simmering romance – what more do you want when you are by the pool? A heroine who investigates noises in the night, confronts the dodgy stalker, and breaks into the baddies house at midnight – all on no sleep.

Delacort has invented a Stephanie Plum character who is just as ballsy and loveable but this one lives in Perth and has 2 pet Galahs instead of a hamster. An easy read with multiple story layers, Sharp Turn will keep you guessing till the end, pick it up this summer if you like Janet Evanovich and Val McDermid’s, Blue Genes.
