Gail's Reviews > The Night Charter

Camaro Espinoza (fantastic name) is the main protagonist in this story and what a character she is. I love her. Sadly this book didn't do it for me and I became increasingly annoyed with the whole thing. I breathed a sigh of relief when I turned the final page.

I'm not sure if it was the style of writing that I found off putting as, from the outset, the constant reference to Camaro's name started grating on me. For instance "You want the personal touch?" Camaro asked. "If I can get it". Camaro nodded. On and on it goes.

I won't go into the plot details as the synopsis says it all, save to say that if our eponymous heroine returns for another outing, I might just give it a try as the character is akin to my beloved Lisbeth Salander (Stieg Larsson) and I think she has a lot to offer for future books.

I just hope I enjoy it more than I have this and at £8 for the kindle book, it certainly wasn't cheap. Sadly I saw a lot of rave reviews, not least in the Sunday supplement of a newspaper, and thought I would give it a go. Note to self, go back to basics and read the synopsis not the reviews!

I think this is either a love it or dislike it book; sadly, of course, I fall into the latter.
