This time it's personal

Reviewed by Mingjie Wang

The name of book what I read is <this time it’s personal> ,  the book’s author is Alan Battersby, it’s a suspense novel, like most suspense movie start with interesting crime and mystery ,end of truth.

The main character is Marley that is an investigator in NY, she was involved a problem, actually it’s not his problem but he deiced to detective the case, because his assistant-Stella’s brother was suspected a murderer, he was under police guard at hospital. He was found in Lexington Avenue and got a head injury that cause he lost memory of what he did, Marley investigated some information from policemen and some friends of Jose , he tried to find missing parts in the case, this murder case tract many other problem that illegal immigration from Russia. Someone trap Jose to bear the case, Zernov was the assistant of Mossolov who is the leader of criminal group , he threatened Marley not to tract the case, but Marley continue detective it, at last the Jose remembered what happened that night, meanwhile the NYPD also find some new clues , finally the truth is come out and Jose was innocent.

      The book is interesting because I have been very fond of the material as a detective, the story reads a little bit thriller and suspense, I think most suspense film or novel can grabs our attention. I like the book because the story keep the intrigue until end, the most interesting of the story is  last part that I think is the best part, because the criminal leader Mossolov is a woman , most criminal leader in other novels should be a man. I think I will not recommend the book because I think the author describe policemen as stupid men, because the evidences were very very weak that Jose is innocent.
