It is a screwball comedy-mystery, combining murder and mayhem with romance and chick-lit, and the first in a series featuring feisty, larger-than-life insurance investigator, Amber Fox. Written in a similar style to Janet Evanovich and Myron Bolitar, The Fashion Police is Stephanie Plum meets Harlan Coben.

Look Behind You af Sibel Hodge

This was a fun for a quick read, but the plot line was a little cliché and things worked out just a little too conveniently for the heroine. Of course, that made the story flow off the page, so it was easy to sit back and forget about the time passing as pages slipped away.

The most intriguing part of the book was the detail and information pertaining to mental disorders - very accurately portrayed and explained in interesting, relatable terms. These snippets kept the plot moving and really were the backbone of the entire story. Without them I might have decided to skip the frustration of having to watch Chloe take one predictable misstep after another.

Instead, I found myself rooting for her to regain her memory and work things out in a logical, reasonable fashion before it was too late. But does she unravel the mystery in time?… (mere)

Where the Memories Lie af Sibel Hodge

I had a hard time deciding on a rating for this book. I detested the main character from the beginning. I could find nothing about the story that rated anything other than the 1 lonely, solitary star that I gave it. Olivia, the heroine, and I use the term loosely. was a despicable character that I just couldn't find any reason to even begin to try to like. Her father-in-law suffers from Alzheimer, but he confesses to a murder. A murder that only may, and probably is, only in his jumbled mind, but Olivia disregards the advice of everyone...her husband, her brother-in-law...her sister-in-law who all said he was a sick old man, and the "murder", if it indeed there ever was a murder, was supposed to have happen years ago. Off Olivia goes to the police with the information. The police determine that no murder had occurred. The father-in-law divulges additional confessions and Olivia is off and running once again. Oliva thought that the supposed murder victim was a former friend of hers, so she decides it is her "duty" as the former "best friend" of this person to solve the mystery. Sometimes things are best left alone as Olivia soon learns that her "best friend" was not all who, or what, she thought she was, but hey, let's rally to her defense anyway. What added to my dislike of Olivia was that every time she thought she had a clue she immediately jumped to the most negative response that went from her weak little mind to her uncontrollable mouth. Anyone who was associated with the new clue was immediately determined, by her, to be guilty. Even her husband was accused of some horrific crimes. As for Olivia...Can we say "sanctimonious"? By the middle of the book, I had thoughts of closing Olivia and her goody two shoes' opinions, tightly between the pages, but I wanted so badly to see her get everything that she deserved. Sadly, I was disappointed. I do believe this was the worst book I have EVER read. I'm going to post this before I take the 1 star away.… (mere)

Be Careful What You Wish For (Amber Fox, #2) af Sibel Hodge

I love it when a book has you page turning by page 2 and this Amber Fox mystery certainly did. There is never a dull moment and she is a very aimable character. Her slightly chaotic, even scatty, exterior cloaks a head-screwed-on, worldly and shrewd ex-policewoman. She is, of course, pretty and slim with the enviable dilemma of having to decide between two gorgeous hunks. But then, she IS the heroine, so these qualities are a must !! I was momentarily very slightly crestfallen when it was apparent that the story was centred around boxing - one of my least favourite sports - but, that moment passed very quickly, as Sibel only uses it as a setting for the perpetrators and never goes into detailed technicalities of the sport. The story is fastpaced with just enough characters to make it intriguing but not too many to lose track of who is/does what ! I love Sibel's easy going style and she makes it very easy to identify with Amber's thoughts and ponderings. The fate of each (living!) character is nicely tied up, as is Amber's own - Sibel can be trusted to guide you to a very satisfactory conclusion. The characters' names are a tad corny but that aside, this is a thoroughly enjoyable chicklit - if you have already read Amber Fox, this will not disappoint and if you have not, welcome to her world, you will be wanting to read more.… (mere)
