A review by gillianw
Object of Desire by Dal Maclean

5.0

4.5 stars

Oh my gosh, what a ride this book turned out to be! I had some concerns that Dal MacLean’s sophomore novel wouldn’t live up to her absolutely stellar debut but I needn’t have been concerned. Object of Desire was equally as thrilling, engrossing and entertaining as Bitter Legacy. And that was despite making one of her MCs incredibly frustrating and, at times, damn near unlikeable.

I loved the mystery, with it’s twists, turns and red herrings (one plot twist that had me gasping out loud as I ran out of my room muttering “no way, no fucking way”) that kept me guessing right up until the very end. Dal MacLean has created an intricate but entirely coherent plot that will please mystery lovers and anyone who loves police procedurals.

I don’t want to go into any details about the story because when it comes to mysteries, the less you know is better. But you can have faith that this book delivers a tight, fast-paced storyline that will keep you engrossed throughout.
