I enjoy this series so much! I love all the aspects of headhunting, the technical information, and the business practices of Pippa, and James. Gloria is a great side character! The books keep my attention from beginning to end.

Have to admit, this one was a bit of a struggle to get through although the second half did improve. Didn't like that even though the main character was British and living in the States that the people around her would also use very British phrasing for things (expected the authors to be English, but no). Tons of little asides - 'but she would learn that later', 'but that was the last time...'. Distracting and don't always like being told/warned of what's coming next. Just seemed a bit amateurish in the writing department.
Another thing that took me by surprise was the large part religion took in the story. Not what I expected to see in a mystery book. Many of the characters discussing religion, quoting scripture, attending group meetings at church and using their religious beliefs to get through situations. Not sure that I appreciated this addition to a mystery story.
