- Thin Blood
on Nov. 29, 2010
A thoroughly enjoyable read. Believable characters who each contributed to the storyline. A descriptive style that gets straight to the point without surperfluous words. The description of Melbourne is spot on! An exciting build to a surprising end. Can't wait to get my teeth into another of Vicki's books, well done.
- Sleight Malice
on Feb. 10, 2011
Sleight Malice was my reward read after getting on with new years’ projects. I love to have a good read up my sleeve… and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
Vicki’s story telling skills are such that I instantly feel I know her main characters very well. No turning back to the first few chapters to check on details.
In this story, Desley is a loyal, trusting soul who is confronted with confounding deceptions, and reacts in a very human way. She has a quirky side too … who would’ve thought of preparing a Vegemite snack the way she does!
Desley is surrounded by a gamut of strong characters all with their own agenda and seemingly plausible reasons for their actions.
A well thought out, entertaining story.
Keep writing Vicki. I also appreciate the research your stories contain, in addition to the excellent editing.
After reading this story, Thin Blood and Brittle Shadows, I will have no need to check out a preview of your future books... I know I’m assured of a quality read, thank you for that luxury.

- Old Poison
on April 17, 2011
A top story. Exciting adventure and mystery - totally devoid of any slow bits. Very cleverly thought out with characters whose personalities shine through. Narrative transports the reader to exotic locations.
- East Coast
on April 19, 2011
A down to earth story of a hard working, world weary couple striving to make the right choices in their chosen careers; as well as for their family unit. Good mix of police and hospital drama.

A pleasant read.
- Fugue
on July 24, 2011
Fugue was a thrilling read - it kept me guessing right to the end. Each character's individuality shone through in this fast-paced action fantasy.
It was the sort of story that I couldn't imagine what the ending would be... it didn't disappoint.
Well written, good editing.
You have a brilliant imagination Chris! Thank you for the story.
I'd thoroughly recommend this book.
- Fatal Liaison
on Aug. 17, 2011
Vicki has unleashed another compelling story, chock-a-block full of just the right mix of ingredients that we've come to expect from her stylish hand.
A simmering mystery that erupts into highly charged emotions combining with dramatic and sometimes confronting encounters, all cleverly woven with an intriguing psychological twist.
Vicki's editing is seamless. Her words flow with an ease that is pure delight to read.
Her main characters, Greg and Megan, have heart and warmth. I was nail-bitingly, lip-chewingly, carried along not wanting to leave their sides all throughout their harrowing journey.
Very highly recommended.
