White Diamonds

Highly enjoyable. A well-paced, well-told story that never lets the reader down. If you are new to the genre (like me) this book is a wonderful introduction.

I thought I was in for a by the fire, mind-numbing, read but what a surprise! Ms. Hailstock's work had my mind racing and my heart thumping! This was no romance, although there were several going on. This was an action-packed high speed chase. What fun! I can't wait to see what else Ms. Hailstock has in store.

This should not be labled Arabasque, this was a great romance mystery which sped you to the edge and kept you there. "Who to trust?" was the question of the day and No One was without suspicion. Ms Hailstock wove a tail so intricately, and involved all of the characters in such a unique way that you were left just shaking your head. When you thought you could relax and take a deep breath, 'wham' you were back on the run again. This truly did not end, until the end. Get your favorite snack and settle into a comfortable position and embark on the chase of your life. Kudos to Ms Hailstock on 'White Diamonds'. Now, I need a quite corner just to catch MY breath.

This story was so well done, it left me with only one question. Do the publishers read the stories? Why do the cover photos look so different from the descriptions we are given? Okay, so that was two questions, but it disturbs me and a number of the members of my book club to have such jarring differences between the literal and the visual. Get it together Arabesque, we're watching!
