McNaught goes off the boil in a big way
AFter enjoying McNaught's historicals and other modern romances such as Paradise and Perfect, I found Night Whispers very disapointing. The book takes an eternity to get the hero and heroine together - feisty Bell Harbor cop Sloan Reynolds and shady Palm Beach billionaire Noah Maitland - and then gives them virtually nothing to do. McNaught wastes a lot of time at the start on fairly insignificant and annoying characters - such as Sloan's horrid police chief - and then seems to wind it up at the end in very perfunctory fashion. The big break-up scene that was done so well in McNaught's Double Standards is here handled over the phone leaving the reader feeling cheated when we skip straight to the kiss and make-up moment. I won't go into the big undercover conspiracy that drives the plot, because McNaught doesn't seem to have a lot of faith in it herself - hence the many inconsistencies. All in all, it has the feel of a half formed piece with a few good scenes - I did like the seduction on the yacht - but far too much extraneous information at the expense of real character development.

Even so... Don't miss it
It's not Paradise nor Perfect, but it's still good reading. What I missed the most was the detailed relationship between Sloan and Noah, the same way JM did with Julie and Zack for ex. But even so... don't miss it, at least you can have your own opinion....As always, thanks JM

OH DEAR-MORE PERIOD ROMANCES PLEASE
Oh dear, contemporary writing for Judith McNaught is really not her strong suit. I absolutely love her other works, I think in particular "Whitney My Love" is fabulous but this totally lacks the ability to enthrall and entrance the reader as her other works do. I am most disappointed in it's irritating characters with no more depth than shadows and it's boring plot with a yawningly predictable ending.
