Private Viewing

by Geoff Palmer

Jane Child doesn't think much of her boss when she's passed over for promotion. Nor does Matt, the mysterious homeless guy camped across the street. But Jane finds consolation in the shape of the man she was passed over for. Celebrity banker Damien Trotter has it all: rock star status, wealth, dashing good looks ... and a shocking secret.

As Jane falls under his spell, she finds herself trapped in a web of intrigue, vile secrets and murder. Suddenly, even her most private moments are no longer her own.

Now she must confront the shadows in her past and the deeper, darker shadows in her present. Shadows that may cost her the man she loves, her happiness ... and her life.

And who is that homeless guy ...?

About the author

Geoff Palmer is a writer, which is astonishingly convenient as you appear to be a reader! He’s climbed mountains in Africa, picked grapes in Switzerland, sold cameras in London, programmed computers in Fiji, and spent eight years working as a professional photographer. He’s also quite tall.

Geoff’s first novel, Telling Stories, won the Reed / North & South Fiction Award, and in 20+ years of freelance technical writing he’s won four Qantas Media Awards and been a finalist for Columnist of the Year. His second novel, Too Many Zeros, was published by Penguin in 2011, and a number of other novels have followed since.

He writes, every day if he can, subject to the demands of his cat, Heidi, who regards him as her personal servant, portable cushion and entertainment centre. In return, she kindly allows him to share her house in Wellington, New Zealand.

Reviews

[Claudete Takahashi · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author has a very straight forward way of writting and telling the story. Information keeps on being added and the reader just wants to reach the end to understand the whole plot. Corporate life is described as it really is, sometimes not the best ones get the higher positions but only the ones with the best recommendations or surnames/families. I was hooked by Geoff Palmer's writting in " Dead Men's Shoes" which is a prequel to Private Viewing, now I can't wait to start reading the next book in this series! I received a copy of this book through the author

[Christmas Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

What happens to a woman who gets drugged and violated yet has no memory of it? Every woman's worse nightmare lives on in the pages of this book. Disturbing but too often true. A page turner with perfectly placed characters. Well written, well paced, un-put-downable.
Given freee by the author. This is my honest review.
