Bettesbooks | Dec 25, 2016 |   Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. on the one side I was glad that this book was so short as it wasn't very captivating, on the other hand there were too many threads going on for such a short book.Most of the characters just didn't work for me and the "sex" parts were too much carried out compared to everything else. (  ) Releanna | Apr 10, 2013 | Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. This is a fun little murder mystery. If you want a quick read, with quirky characters, a little sex, and multiple murders, this would be a great book for you. It's the beginning of a series of a female P.I. whose best friend joins in the problem solving. Of course, they get more than they bargained for, but there's lots of action, and the whole thing makes for a nice piece of escapism. (  ) sitnknitn | May 3, 2012 | Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. An intriguing mystery introducing a man/woman duo. Rebecca is a P.I. Her partner in sleuthing turns out to be her highschool best friend, Gabby (WEIRD name for a dude.. but he is a bit metrosexual) The case: Rebecca is having words and tequila with a man she doesn't get along with well and she wakes up with a smoking gun in her hand and a dead body on her office floor. Did she do it? Well, she's pretty darn certain SHE didn't do it and thus, she's been framed. The story is pretty action packed, never a dull moment as the bodies start piling up and it becomes a major whodunit. What I liked: I was never bored. This isn't one of those 400 page novels in which 100 pages of it are full of long descriptive details. What I didn't like: The lack of emotion in the characters. Um, your shop, your business, your clothes have all burned down. A little more reation would be appropriate in instances like that. I guess you call that character developement. It just needed a bit more of that. Four stars. (  ) Soniamarie | May 29, 2011 | Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. A quick read but more of a sketch of a book than actually plotted story. Neither of the main characters does any real detection and neither seems to have a clue about their chosen lines of work. Cliched scene follows cliched scene until, with only a few pages left, the actual perpetrator of the various crimes conveniently blurt out the facts of their guilt. (  ) mmyoung | May 5, 2011 |
 I loved the storyline for Naked Frame. I am a dark star when it comes to crime and I love my murder and sexually based crime plots. So this story really pulled me in. It was thought provoking and I found myself questioning humanity at times and asking myself why greed is so important in the world and what it does and can do to people. I'm in the middle with writing style. In places it flowed so easily and was enjoyable to read and others it was a little dull and bogged down, which made it a struggle to get though. For me there was to much dialogue and most of it sounded the same which made it hard to distinguish a lot of the male characters [because they all had sex on the brain]. Sometimes the scenes were jumpy, skipping from characters perspectives without much dialogue or detail and the execution of the storyline needed more work. More description and a smoother flow with scene transition would make it an easier and more enjoyable read. I would have to say out of all the characters Gabby was my favourite, although at times his personality was at question. I didn't feel a connection with the main character, Rebecca and would have liked to delve into her personality a bit more. There were a lot of minor characters which at times was confusing. I think with a little less development with minor characters and more with major characters I believe the characters in this book could evolve and I'd love them. One thing that really annoyed me about the characters, especially Gabby was their lack of emotions. In certain scenes when you expect them to feel or show something there a void and the scene transitioned. It frustrated me because I wanted to feel the pain he was feeling, wanted to worry when someone he knew was in danger, wanted to cry knowing that his livelihood was lost. I'm still looking forward to reading the next book in the series when it comes out. I loved it, despite the small issues I had. I would strongly recommend it for lovers of crime. The romance of the book is more of a dull sub-plot and the action of the book is what kept me reading to all hours of the night. Kudos to Robert Burton Robinson for a fast read. I read this in a day and haven't done that with a book in a long time. P.S I hope the suggestions and honest critical feedback are helpful to the author as I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series and seeing if it gets better. ***.5 Three and Half Stars

It's an odd time to reconnect with her best friend, Gabby, from high school. But he wants to help Rebecca.The two of them will unravel the mystery. Or die trying.Praise for Robert Burton Robinson's NAKED FRAME:"An exciting read from page one to finish. A complex plot that keeps you guessing until the last chapter. Having read and enjoyed the "Greg Tenorly" stories I wasn't disappointed with Rebecca Ranghorn and her unlikely partner and their adventures. Naked Frame was fast moving and the characters colourful and interesting. It's a non-stop, can't-put-down read. Looking forward to the next Rebecca Ranghorn adventure!" - Karen T., New Zealand"I thought Mr. Robinson couldn't better Greg Tenorly with any character, but Rebecca Ranghorn is brilliant. I read the whole book in one sitting and loved it, and can't wait for him to write the next ones!" - Anne Shapiro"Great book! Once I started reading I couldn't put it away. I HAD to find out what happened. Nice twist in the end. I can't wait for part two of this series." - Heleen, The Netherlands"What a brilliant, complex, yet easy to follow plot. Rebecca is a brilliant investigator and indeed free spirited. She kept me going. Its official, this mystery series will be part of my life as an aspiring writer. Good work, Mr. Robinson. It's a THUMBS UP for me." - Patrick Seitiso"A light-hearted read, which is fast paced, full of suspense and twists and turns. Rebecca's friend Gabby is quite a character. The easy rapport they share and their constant banter makes for some delightful reading. I am interested in finding out what happens in the next book of the series and what other adventures Rebecca goes through." - Maddie Kanekar Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

It felt like a loose series of events tied together by the storyline
Lots of twists and turns, lots of action. Fast paced read. (
