The Girl with a Clock for a Heart by Peter Swanson

4.0

Peter Swanson's The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is a fabulous crime noir, complete with a beautiful yet mysterious femme fatale, a hero who lets his heart lead him places he never should've wandered, and a plot busy enough to keep any mystery fan satisfied.

Throughout The Girl with a Clock for a Heart, I felt really badly for poor George, though I will admit to getting slightly annoyed at how he kept repeating his mistakes. I mean, he already knows what Liana can get up to - though we don't, yet - but he still lets her lead him around by the nose. I found myself shaking my head at him more than once. On the other hand, I know why he'd let it happen, and I"m really glad he finally figured out what was going on. The dude's not dumb, even if he does selectively ignore what he doesn't want to know. ;)

All in all, The Girl with a Clock for a Heart is a very entertaining read that keeps you turning the pages. I could actually see this playing out in my head, which is always a bonus. Give it a whirl, and let me know what you think!This review was originally posted on drey's library
