Amanda and Ted are both damaged individuals but somehow together they make a great, if quirky team. Amanda went to prison for murder. Ted was accused, but never convicted of abducting and raping a young girl. They come together to work on a murder case. There’s a lot going on here. Some of the reviews say this book was slow, as if that was a bad thing. It may be slow-ish at times, (I prefer “methodical”), but definitely never boring. . Several mysteries are intertwined in this story...some come to a satisfying resolution, but not all. The ending is bit of a cliffhanger, so I really hope there will be more Amanda and Ted mysteries to come!

Crimson Lake A Novel Candice Fox 9780765398482 Books Reviews

I want more, more, more Candice Fox. I pre-ordered Crimson Lake, just brilliant. Have read and enjoyed all previous books so when is the next one please?
Interesting new set of characters. Lot of good stuff on the insights to how investigations affect everyone. But that aside good book, good pace, a little jumpy round, but probably couldn't be told any other another way. Will look for next one.
The plot and writing style are good. The ending though, is overdone. Unfortunately the main Male character is quite the wimp, always getting beaten up and never standing up for himself. That took away a lot from the book. At the end of the book is a preview of the next book in this series, and sure enough, Ted gets beaten up again right at the beginning. For a big guy who used to be a cop, Ted can't even seem to defend himself. Stupid. No one gets beat down I real life like this guy. The author needs to give that a rest. I will have to think really hard before I pay money to read her next book.
First Sentence I was having some seriously dark thoughts when I found Woman.

Ted Conkaffey was tried for the rape of a teenage girl but was released when enough evidence couldn't be found to convict him. Now he lives every day with the fear of being re-arrested. Amanda Pharrell served eight years for murder, was released and is now a PI in Crimson Lake, Australia. When a wealthy woman hires Amanda to determine whether the woman's missing husband, author Jake Scully, is dead, Amanda insists that Ted help her with the case. What did happen to the husband? Is Ted really innocent? Was Amanda really guilty?

One of the best types of openings is one which intrigues the reader, draws one in and insists one follow without having any idea where the path will lead. It is also on which creates such a strong sense of place and character that one is immediately involved in the story. Fox achieves both goals.

Fox creates excellent visual images—"Moss and vines grew on every surface they could manage. Along the rivers, broken-down houses with yawning doorways squatted in the brush, peering out, not a brick or patch of wood that composed them showing through their cloaks of lush leaves."

It's the characters which compel one to keep reading. Interesting, unusual, well-constructed characters are a reader's dream. Fox makes that dream come true. Learning of Ted's former profession is a nicely-done twist. The more one gets to know about Amanda, with her set of rules, the more fascinating she becomes. Yet Fox doesn't ignore the secondary characters, especially forensic pathologist Valerie Gratteur. Although there are a lot of different characters, Fox segments them into the story so that one never becomes confused as to who each is.

While the characters are a strength, Fox doesn't ignore the plot. Periodic inclusions of anonymous letters which had been sent to the victim are a bit of a cliché and not entirely unreminiscent of the story "Misery," but they do cause one to wonder down what path they will lead, and the more we learn about the victim, the more interesting even he becomes. With the addition of the second thread—questioning whether Amanda really did murder her friend—and the third thread—Amanda not believing that Ted raped the girl--one is given a lot to consider while never losing track of each plot line. Fox does a remarkable job of laying out the primary investigation step-by-step while making us understand the trauma Ted and Amanda suffered from their individual experiences.

"Crimson Lake" has a very good escalation of suspense which may result in reading very late into the night. Ted and Amanda are a team of whom one wants to see more. This is a wonderful read with a perfect epilogue and ending.

CRIMSON LAKE (LicInv- Ted Connor (Conkaffey)/Amanda Pharrell– Australia-Contemp) – VG+
Fox, Candice – 1st in series
Forge – Mar 2018
From the very beginning the reader is certain of the innocence of the two main characters. The vigilantes , and police, and nagging press, are awful. The suspense had me up very late to finish the book. A very good read.
I bought this book a year ago, and for some reason I didn’t get around to reading it. The sequel ‘Redemption Point’ has just been released, so I decided I’d better get going before reading the sequel.

I started it yesterday. It’s an incredible read, with great characters, marvellous plot twists and an ending I didn’t see coming.

The sequel follows directly on from where ‘Crimson Lake’ finishes, and has a short recapitulation of what happened previously, so it could be read separately.

But for maximum pleasure, it should be read first.
Enjoyable read, interesting characters, enough mystery to keep you curious. Will read another Candice Fox.
