Good bye Lucy
I may get shot down here, but this series gets worse with each book. The first was ok, the second even more unbelievable. I had hoped that was a blip, or me not in right frame of mind for it. But after book 3. Don't think I will bother with a 4th if there is one. Lucy is so naive it is unbelievable that she could be a reporter. The story lines are so far fetched. I will stick with the DI Steele series by the same author.

You have to reason that Leigh Russell likes going to wonderful places as her third Lucy Hall novel is set mostly in Rome.
There is a sense of danger almost from the start and this heavy foreboding never leaves the novel even as the pace steps up.
Still out to become an investigatory reporter Lucy has arrived in the Features department looking into the disappearance of young women in Paris.
A misunderstanding leads her to interview Isabelle whose partner has recently disappeared.
The sets Lucy off to Italy to follow up this missing person; by association her questioning makes her vulnerable as they have more secrets than any journalist could write about.
A wonderful story when focusing on Lucy who is a great character, full of empathy, determination and foolhardy behaviours. Her career seems short lived when her search for Dominique leads her into life-threatening situations. She remains resolute, tenacious and open to others as she pursues the human elements of the situation rather than just the scoop for glory.
I like the storytelling, locations and sense of looming danger even if Lucy ploughs on eyes wide open into clear danger. She is bright and industrious yet naive and prone to repeat mistakes concerning her personal safety. Without this character deficiency though we would not have a story.
If you can accept this premise and care enough that she survives you will like the book sufficiently to forgive Leigh Russell this writer's short cut to thrills and tension.
If it was the only type of book I read it would become tedious and irritating. Take us somewhere interesting Leigh and I'll sign up for book 4.

The best of the 3 Lucy Hall mysteries but not a great book - the fundamental problem is the lack of a credible main character. Not at all convincing as an investigative journalist - this story set in Rome has no narrative drive and no depth of plot.

Sorry, but to read The Wrong Suspect gave me nothing.
To make a long story short I will say the story was: " How to say a lot about nothing"

Let's start by saying I won this book in a Goodreads Giveaway, this is the first book in this series that I have read, and this is the first book I've read by the author.
The pacing of the book was great, the story was pretty good, and the author is obviously talented. Having said that, I have a few problems with the book. The main character (Lucy Hall) is a bit of a dolt. She appears to have a problem thinking things through and misses a number of obvious (at least to this reader) cues from other characters. Lucy wants to be an investigative reporter and she has an eye for stories, but she has no ability to read people or to stay out of trouble. Add to that a constant perky attitude of everything will work out, there no need to report this, and you get someone who may get a story but only solves a mystery by accident. this is the 3rd book in the series so at this point I would have thought she would have developed some skills or her employer would be smart enough not to let her out of the office. May be she didn't get in as much trouble in the first 2 books.

This is book three in the series and, although the main story is self-contained, Lucy is a bit of a complex character so, to better understand her personality and motivation, it is better to have read the first two books in the series before this one.
Oh deary me! Lucy does get herself into a bit of a pickle here... again! After a year of being an investigative journalist, she has been relegated to the lowly level of a copy editor, honing others' stories and updating the website. Chomping at the bit for something more exciting, she is not overly happy when she is told she will be working with the paper's top features reporter Benoit as she deems him to be a bit slow and steady for her. But it's better than proofreading. The story he is currently working on is regarding missing women, mostly from an historical aspect but they are lucky enough to get in on the beginning of one such person's case. Sadly on further inspection, the woman turns out to be a man and so does not meet their criteria. Lucy however has her interest piqued by this guy's disappearance and his girlfriends pleas for help, combined with quite a few things that simply don't add up, and so she badgers Benoit to let her investigate. An investigation that takes her on secondment to the paper's Rome office. An investigation that has her fearing for her life. Well, she is Lucy Hall, investigative journalist, specialising in getting in too deep!
I have had certain reservations regarding Lucy throughout this series but even though I still question her motivations and decisions, I can't fault her guts and tenacity. Even when she is the only one that believes that there is a crime to be solved. The jury is still out as to whether I like her or not but then I don't have to like a character to connect with them and I am on my way to doing this with her. Not sure about the time it is taking being as we are already on book three but some people do take longer to get there.
Once again, the author has proved she has done her research with the streets of Rome. Either that or she knows it very well already. Some of Lucy's journeys did distract me from the storyline a bit at times as I found her "getting around" a bit repetitive.
The plotting was good. Had me on my toes throughout. I had a few theories and I do have to admit to being mostly wrong, occasionally right but for the wrong reasons. When the truth was finally revealed, it did come a bit out of left field but the explanations for the motivation and action were very well executed and wrapped the book up nicely.
Part of me feels that as I have still not connected completely with Lucy yet I should probably bow out of this series but something in the back of my head is telling me not to do this just yet. I have seen her mature and progress as the series has gone on and have watched several of my reservations about her and this series being resolved that I think I really should give her one more chance. Bit like a car crash, I can't just look away... and I can't help but wonder what on earth she will get up to next time.
My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book.

(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)
After a year in Paris working as an investigative reporter, Lucy Hall is ready for her next big scoop. While researching a spate of missing persons, she learns of the mysterious disappearance of a young man, Dominique. The case is cold in the city of lights, but there’s another lead: in Rome.
When Lucy arrives, she realises that the eternal city is as dangerous as it is beautiful. She’s not the only one looking for Dominique: a criminal gang is hot on his trail, and Lucy’s investigation has put her squarely in their sights.
With her life in peril, Lucy will have to track down the missing man—before his pursuers catch up with her…
This is the third book in the Lucy Hall mystery series. While the story itself can be read as a standalone, I do think that Lucy's backstory is important to understand her motivations etc. in this book - so I do recommend reading the first two books beforehand.
Lucy Hall is an interesting character - smart and full of determination and tenacity. She has slowly warmed to me and I think there is actually a chance I might like her by now (three books in!) She certainly takes the award for being the main character - at times, I think we spend too much time on her and her travels around Rome, rather than worrying about the investigation.
The rest of the cast seem like filler - even her partner, Benoit, seems a little one-dimensional.
The plot, however, is a cracker. Missing persons, drug gangs, red herrings, suspense, and an ending that does the rest of the book justice. Too often we get led down the (mystery novel) garden path and get left high and dry at the end - not the case here. A finale that wraps up all the loose ends AND makes sense - what a bonus!
Easily recommended - the entire series should be on your TBR if you love a good British crime mystery novel.

Paris France, Simone (co-worker) had taken Lucy Hall (25, Current Affairs International Org., investigative reporter) to Comptoir Général bar (Canal Saint-Martin),
Office talk, employees & Simone’s current BF Davide were the conversation topics.
The next day Benoit Laurent (top reporter journalist, Current Affairs International) mentioned to Lucy that several women have turned up missing.
The 2 of them started talking to friends & family members of the woman who have disappeared.
Isabelle had reported her now ex-BF Dominique Girard just disappeared & left all his belongings behind.
Rome, Italy. Current Affairs International. Lucy went to see Matteo.
Lucy on her investigation just happened to interview Maria (Amalia’s mother).
Would Lucy uncover some vital information on the girl’s disappearances?
Would she find Dominique?
Warning: This book is for adults only & contains adult content or profanity. It may be offensive to some readers.
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written mystery book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great mystery movie, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is a very easy rating of 5 stars.

I am definitely somebody who enjoys Leigh Russell as an author and in particular her Geraldine Steel series. I have read the first two books in this series and although they weren't terrible they weren't books that left any impression on me and I was never in a rush to read another. I saw that book three was still on my kindle so decided to give it a go as sometimes the first few books in a series don't give the right impression.
I think my main issue with this series is the character Lucy Hall. She is an okay character but not one I felt drawn to as a reader. After Lucy spent a year in Paris working as an investigative reporter, she starts researching a spate of missing people which leads her to her next story. In this case the mysterious disappearance of a man named Dominique in Rome. It soon becomes apparent she is not the only one looking for Dominique and this puts Lucy firmly in danger with a criminal gang.
This story trundled along and wasn't one that I felt engaged in and in addition there was a fair bit of repetition which became pretty apparent and a little irritating. I managed to finish this book but it felt like an effort because I can't leave a book unfinished it drives me mad. However, in this case it felt like a necessity and not an enjoyment. I think for now I will stick to the Geraldine Steel series by this author which I really enjoy.

Lucy Hall is wanting to do something more interesting than the work she is doing now so when called to help a reporter look for missing women she jumps at the chance. Now the latest turns out to be a missing man. That is not what the article is about so she is given some time on her own to look into it and then get back to the article she was working. Dominique has gone to Rome to collect some money he hid there. It was hidden at his old girl friend's house. He goes there and then wakes up not remembering but in some type of tomb. Lucy goes to Rome looking for him and learning more about his past the further she explores but is it safe for her? Can she find Dominique in time? Read to find out what happens.

This is the third in the Lucy Hall series from prolific writer Leigh Russell. The first was set in the Seychelles, the second in Paris and now in Rome. For a young girl who travels alone a lot chasing criminals, she has not really developed any sense of self-preservation. As a reader I find that inwardly I am constantly trying to rein her in for her own safety, and this is what is great about the Lucy Hall books.
I recommend reading them all to get into the character. I didn't predict the end, and it was so compelling it didn't take me long to read.
Looking forward to the next in the Geraldine Steele series, also by Leigh Russell, out soon I believe.

This is a well written, story that I found hard to put down. I like stories that take place in different cities than the one I live in, and I also like characters in series, so I get to know their quirks and foibles. The chapters are more than a minute long, so I get get lost in the moments and let my imagination roam. Leigh Russell's styles reminds me of watching a movie, and I love movies. While not an action movie, or a romance novel, it has aspects of both, with some thriller, and mystery to be solved. I found it to be a satisfying book. I wasn't surprised to discover that a television series is in development.

On reading this book I hadn't realised that this was the third book in the Lucy Hall series, but I found it was fine as a standalone. It seemed a little slow at the beginning but was certainly worth sticking with. Lucy, the central character is a little scatty and makes very questionable decisions but is very gutsy! The book has a well written plot and twists and turns that are very difficult to predict. I will now have to read the first two books in the series to learn more about Lucy.
Thanks to Net Galley and the,publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Well written and plot driven, with a good intrepid character in Lucy. Some of this is a bit implausible but go with it and you'll find yourself trying to think ahead of Lucy in her search for Dominique. No spoilers; this tale does have some twists as well as a few red herrings. This can definitely be read as a standalone. Thanks to net galley for the ARC.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway and it is another great read from Leigh Russell. The third book in the Lucy Hall series and set in Rome. It can be read as a stand alone. The only issue I have is the danger that Lucy gets herself into! She is a very tenacious and determined lady but that aside, I really enjoy these books.

Not exactly fast moving
A change from the usual scenario but I little but too far fetched for my liking. Lucy seems a touch naive and extremely lucky to have survived
Some unnecessary padding to fill pages. But at least a break from the serial killer genre most murder mysteries cling to

I love, love, love getting free books. I love it even more when they're worth the time to read. This one was fantastic! Great suspense, likable characters, believable story. I'm gonna have to search up the previous two as this is my first Lucy Hall novel. I'll definitely be reading more!

Some good imagination in the plot, but somewhat run of the mill characters. I received the book as a Giveaway and upgraded to the audible version. I did not care for the narrator. In this case, reading the book might have been a better choice.

Dire
Really like the DI Geraldine steel books and tried the first Lucy hall book and was unimpressed. Decided to try this one 3rd in series) to see if they’d improved but dreadful. No more.

Not badly written, but it just didn't capture me. Didn't care about the protagonist. Putting it aside for now.

I liked this book enough that I will try another one by her. I did like the ending a lot.

Badly written & preposterous storyline. Shallow and unbelievable characters.
Can't believe anybody was prepared to publish this rubbish.
Don't buy it!

I received this book free of charge in a goodreads giveaway.
For me this book started off slow. I would read a chapter and not have a desire to continue. This all changed as the story went on. I finished the last half of the book in one sitting.
It follows my expectations for most mystery novels. The main character is a little clueless and doesn't ever really realize what she is getting herself into or what the possible consequences of her actions could be. Many times I sat there thinking, "come on, you know this is a bad idea." I thought I had the book figured out in the end and it turned out to be a different outcome two times which I enjoyed.
The book is written from two different point of views which I thought really enhanced the story and helped build suspense.
