HEADING NOORT BY NORTHWEST: SASKIA NOORT GOES BACK TO THE COAST

My review of Saskia Noort's first novel, Back To Coast, has been posted at Crime Time; you can click to it here. It's difficult when someone's first novel is actually the second translated and published, because one expects it to be better. Although the story becomes somewhat obvious, and the lead character is not particularly sympathetic, Noort does a good job of getting us into her head, and it takes some courage to make your first heroine less than perfect. Interesting, if not totally convincing...
