You probably won't finish this novel in one sitting. You'll have to pay close attention to keep track of all the different players in the programme. If you relax your concentration for a moment, you'll have to go back and do it again or be lost.
Alana Woods has written a tale that is filled to the brim with deception, criminal impersonation, betrayal, greed, exploitation, sexual manipulation, murder, and some just plain pretty rotten people. There's only one character in the entire bunch that I'd consider inviting over for Sunday dinner. You'll have figured out who it is when you get toward the end of the yarn.
In short, it's exactly what any card-carrying crime fiction fan is looking for.
With her portrayals of human beings at their basic instinct worst, I completely believe the part of Ms. Woods' resume which tells us she was once a certified Court reporter. The reader gets this story straight from the lady who heard it all and wrote it all down for the record, in real life during sworn testimony.
So, by all means, enjoy this journey, hand in hand with Alana Woods, through the wilderness of well-financed criminals, laboring hard at their nefarious work. But it's a treacherous, winding, narrow path. Be careful. It's hard to tell who's really who.

This is the second novel by Alana Woods that I have read. I loved her book 'Automaton' so much I couldn't wait to read something else by her. So it was with a positive heart that I started reading Imbroglio and boy oh boy what a great read it was. I was hooked early on and throughout the story I could feel the tension that surrounded the two main characters. I just fell hopelessly in love with Noel and David and was wishing with every page that things turned out ok for them! I won't say how it did but it was well worth the read to find out. I fully recommend this book and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

"Imbroglio" is an absorbing plunge into the life of Noel Valentine: an ad executive who boldly pulls helpless David Cameron from a burning car. Normally such an act of courage would merit a heroine's welcome and afford her the accompanying spoils. But instead, Noel's deeds simply spoil her life. For soon, the man she saved--and the man who saved her job while she recovered--press into action every ounce of Noel's determination as she finds herself a damsel in distress. One spinning out of control and being dragged down by the powerful currents of a consuming conspiracy of corporate greed and lust. It confuses a clear view of who is Noel's friend and who is her foe. That is the suspenseful essence of "Imbroglio."
Alana Woods skillfully constructs an authentic conspiracy-mystery that shines with strong characterization throughout, particularly where leading characters Noel Valentine and David Cameron are concerned. Noel is a thoroughly modern woman (whose traits shift appropriately from quiet and careful to driven and a bit hasty when necessary). Her voice and actions also come across as believably feminine in quality. David Cameron's physical and mental recovery (and his careful immersion into the plot) is handled with deliberate attention to detail, enhancing "Imbroglio's" nebulous air. And Woods's villains are suitably sinful, but not easily seen--perfect for setting up one of the story's biggest surprises.
Also admirable is the story's vivid setting: a modern, cosmopolitan Australia. Centered largely in metropolitan Sydney, the scenic cityscape provides a welcomed relief from the outback, jack-and-jillaroo station image that many foreigners too-easily associate all of "the land down under" with.
"Imbroglio's" only flaw is its rather involved network of secondary characters. While the definition of imbroglio (a confusing situation) would justify an elaborate cast to handle the task, most classic mystery-suspenses have a faster, more direct pace. Imbroglio's secondary players sometimes detract from that point a-to-point b flow, thus stalling the building suspense and intensity in places.
So overall, if you want a quick, roller coaster ride of a read, "Imbroglio" probably won't do it for you. But if you're looking for an intelligently-written, maturely-crafted conspiracy-mystery (and one also wonderfully set against the sumptuous scenery of a rarely seen city) "Imbroglio" is a satisfying, high-quality novel well-worth losing yourself in.

REVIEW OF ‘Imbroglio’ by Alana Woods
Review by R.L.Bailey
4/5 angel wings
No truer words were EVER spoken “No good deed goes unpunished” for Noel Valentine than those five words. Her story starts out when she saves a man from a burning car, and things only go downhill from there. Noel is an ordinary woman, with all the flaws and foibles as the rest of us. The man she saves David Cameron is… well not what he seems to be. He slowly draws her into his world, and his is NOT all sunshine and lolipops.
Ms. Woods tells a tale wrapped in layer upon layer. Its not a fast read, but it is a good one. I like it when an author takes their time to really put a story together. Set in Australia, Ms. Woods brings Sydney to life and even though I have never been there I can picture it in my minds eye. Greed, Lust, murder, this is a whopping ride of a mystery, some of the things that happen to our Noel just make you hold your breath. And David? Well I won’t give out any spoilers but damn!
My only complaint, and it is small is all the time she spent on the secondary characters, at times I wanted to scream I don’t care about you I want to see whats going to happen to Noel! But that’s just me.
I have never read this author before, but after finishing this book, I know I will be reading more of her.

The Life You Save May Be Your Own
from my blog review:
If the title of my review seems far less original than that of the novel it explores, that's because there are some clichés that well-earn their familiarity. For example, if overheard conversations, mistaken and assumed identity, and misdirected letters (nowadays more prevalent as lost or stolen e-mail correspondence and hacked computer files) are not fresh enough for your taste in fiction, then the entire suspense/thriller genre probably isn't either. Alana Woods deploys them all--there's even a diary--but recombination is everything.
Far more compelling than these stock conventions are the book's two main characters, David Cameron (you may need a pen handy to keep track of his several aliases,) but more especially Noel Valentine, a heroine worthy of a series--though Woods doesn't appear to be setting us up for one. Among all of fiction's many self-made detectives, few are given a motive for their investigations--which lead them into all manner of professional and personal hazard--more credible than simple money. The universal catalyst, serviceable for everyone from Sam Spade to Jim Rockford. Oh, other reasons have been invented among the better writers: egomania for Sherlock Holmes, or the occasional impressment into service (Rick Deckard.) Woods' David, like Hamlet, was bequeathed the task by his dead father. Good thing for audiences, too--for it doesn't always wash, that the motives of those seeking truth are the identical ones held by those seeking to cover it up.
For Noel Valentine, the impetus necessary for the pursuit of semi-comatose David's nearly successful assassins, leading to discovery of several convolutions of corporate wrongdoing, surfaces from the depths of her very plausible, damaged psychology. "Why not go to the police?," she's asked at several points, and the answer simply lies outside the realm of logic and reason.
Sure, she wants to ensure the man she dragged from a fiery car wreck heals, she wants a prestigious account at her PR firm, she wants the perks of her boss' favor. It all makes sense, yet none of it is really accurate. In fact, one of the latent enjoyments of the novel is witnessing how many different misogynistic interpretations of her behavior can be put upon Noel by the old boys' network, projecting their own malfeasance onto a vulnerable target. "If there's one thing I hate, it's a dirty, double-crossing dame," says one of the villains of the Hollywood noir classic The Killers, and apparently little has changed in three-quarters of a century. Woods' heroine must also endure multiple layers of claustrophobic pressure: from the confines of her tiny flat invaded by her healing counterpart, to sexual pressure from her boss and a nefarious client, and finally to the crushing depths of the sea itself.
No, for Noel, investigation is first about living dangerously--perhaps subconsciously attempting to carry out a long-time suicide wish of her own--and later, about simply living. In fact, when the bad guys provide her with the perfect opportunity to slip quietly into that good night, guiltlessly in the world's eyes and her own, it's only then can she recover the id-energy to carry on and survive that her efforts on David's behalf have been attempting to revivify all along. That scene of crucible is worth the price of admission alone, straying so far as it does from the strictures of the genre, and invoking naturalistic archetypes from more high-brow literary fiction like Kate Chopin's The Awakening, and even some Hemingway.
What difficulties there are can be faced down within the first half of the novel, which gathers much steam afterward--though thankfully eschewing many of the predictable action-elements we may expect (no car chases, and just a little obligatory gunplay.) Sex, naturally, plays its role, though not overdone. Woods provides several of her majors with fully stocked families, and various minor characters fill out the cast, necessitating full attention to relationships. As for the geography, the locales of Cairns and Sydney, while well-described, may feel less familiar to non-Australian readers than we'd like. However, it's exactly this transportation of time, place, and generally stretching beyond the constricting neighborhood of the known-comfortable, among landscapes ranging to the deep psychic, that many will appreciate most.

This one, for me, was a rather difficult book to read – not because it was bad in any way, but because there were so many layers to the story and characters that I had trouble keeping up sometimes and often had to re-read certain parts again to remind myself. Because of this, I’m not going to reveal too much about the plot as I want to keep spoilers to a minimum.
Essentially, the story begins when our heroine, Noel Valentine pulls a man out of a burning car – whilst the other one lies dead. Being a thriller, we can assume that this wasn’t your standard car accident. But, to twist an old phrase, “No good deed goes unpunished”, as Noel soon finds out when she is thrust into a world of danger, betrayal, secrecy and (of course) murder. The kinda things that Thrillers live on!
The bulk of the story follows Noel, our heroine and the survivor of the crash David Cameron (yes, that’s his name), who is a rather shifty character at the best of times and, even though he is technically a protagonist, I never entirely trusted him for whatever reason. Still, I did like the heroine Noel and felt really sorry for the problems she found herself in. Noel isn’t like most protagonist’s in Thrillers I’ve read – she’s no wise-cracking, gun toting secret agent or detective – she’s a real human being and, as such, goes up against problems that real human beings wouldn’t be able to cope with under most times. What actually happens to her you’ll have to find out for yourself, but all I will say is that I did hope things turned out all right for her.
The other characters that make their way into the story all have their parts to play. Even though you can sometimes spot who the heroes or villains are, the motivations that they have will take you by surprise. There are a couple of shocking twists that did actually take me completely unaware, which is a good thing. Even though I did find the story a little complicated, it didn’t stop me from wanting to know what happened next. And while I’m not going to spoil the ending, I will say that I was a little sad that it didn’t end how I wanted it to. But then, that’s (usually) the mark of a great book – going against expectations. Hell, I do it myself so respect to Alanna Woods for doing this.
Imbroglio is not, in my opinion, a book that you can read casually. Like with many Chris Nolan films, you need to invest all your time into the story and pay attention so that you don’t miss important information and plot points. But, if you do, then you’ll find a treat of a story and one that I am sure that will keep you hooked the whole time you read. This book not only requires your full attention – it deserves it. If a person like me, who doesn’t generally read thrillers can enjoy this, it HAS to be a great read. Be sure to add this one to your “must read” list in the near future.

This book was pretty good with one twist that I didn't see coming. It is not typically the type of book I read however, which might contribute to it getting three stars instead of four. I was draw into the book and what was going on, but at times I was confused by some of the wording and what the author was trying to hint at. Overall though it was good and I would recommend the book to others.

After a rather exciting start the story turned to the ins and outs of corporate dealings and percentages of shares held by various people in a company, and I thought "Oh! Should I be making notes, are these figures vital to the plot, do I want to read a story about corporate intrigue?" Being a bit of a miser, I decided that as I'd bought it I was certainly going to read it. Boy, was I rewarded!
It develops into a fast-paced, page-turning, fingernail-biting rollercoaster of a tale. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing – who's good and who are the bad guys, and just how bad are they? All this action is interspersed with some rather sensuous "scenes of a sexual nature", as the TV warnings would put it. But I had to read them, though, as they may have been vital to the plot – that's my reasoning, anyway.
This is a very well-written story, with central characters that are likeable, even though I wasn't sure at many points if they were good or bad. The motivation is very credible and that is what makes Imbroglio really terrifying because it could happen – anyone could be like Noel and accidentally hear something that they follow up on – and then find themselves up to their necks in... Well, read the book and you'll find out.

I found Noel’s character absorbing and entirely likable. And the increasingly insurmountable challenges she faces as an ordinary individual that no one ought rightly to have to face made it all the easier to empathize with her; increasingly it seems that is the plight of us all in this crashed global economy. So while the specifics of her situation may vary from yours or mine, at the heart of it are some real struggles we can all relate to. And the fact that she’s caught in a web of intrigue certainly doesn’t make her situation all that different—not for anyone who’s spent even five minutes navigating today’s business and corporate world.
The Australian locale and characters, and that of Sydney in particular, add some local flavor for those of us who might otherwise be reading travel lit if we couldn’t happen to find a suspense story that didn’t kill two birds with one stone.
I have to agree with some of the other reviewers: this is not a book you can speed read; you have to go slowly and make sure you’re taking it all in, but it’s worth the effort. I found James Blakely’s comments on Goodreads especially poignant and thought they echoed my own take on the story’s strengths as well as its challenges.

IMBROGLIO is a psychologically gripping thriller that delivers in a big way. It is well-written and ingeniously constructed. As a reader, I could not help but turn the pages.
Not all good deeds go unnoticed; some are rewarded badly. Noel Valentine pulls an unconscious David Cameron (not the Prime Minister) from a burning car, only to become deeply embroiled in a plot of murder, deceit, and corporate greed. Australia, namely the metropolitan city of Sydney, serves as the intriguing backdrop to this story. The novel is fast-paced and delightfully complex. Entangled personalities, as well as motives and a twisting plot, keep the suspense alive throughout. Book fans, especially those who like mystery-type thrillers, will love this one.
