 Reader from Oxford October 1, 2006
Mary (Oxford)
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Having really enjoyed her first book, I was a bit disappointed in Cutting Blades. The trouble is the rather ineffectual plot, and the illusion that Sam is running a Detective Agency. I do not believe that her agency could survive for a week. The character development is fine, but why try and pretend that Sam is any good as a detective?
As I am familiar with Oxford I can follow the local geography, but without that I think I would find it irritating trying to follow the street names and progress around the city.
I will read the next book, but maybe with less excited anticipation than I started Cutting Blades. I do worry about her cat.
 Cutting Blades - an excellent second novel. April 1, 2005

"Cutting Blades", Victoria Blake's sequel to "Bloodless Shadow", builds on the world Ms Blake established so effectively in her first novel. It draws the reader in while keeping the action going, the plot twisting and turning. Sam Falconer becomes an increasingly complex, interesting and engaging lead character, and we can't help wanting to know what will happen next (next novel, that is,)in her life, let alone the lives of her clients.A second novel can sometimes be a bit of a let down. "Cutting Blades" is nothing of the kind. I really enjoyed it and, rather like a wonderful meal which took a long time to prepare but is eaten in an hour, I am rather shocked that I've finished "Cutting Blades" and must, presumably, wait another year or so to find out what's next for Ms Falconer. So good luck with number three, Ms Blake, I think there'll be a great meny of us queuing up for it when it comes out.
