A brilliantly executed work of fiction "A Trail of Blood" by Peter Goldman with Nicola Malatesta, which focuses on a former ravishing and irresistible star Sophie Guichard, and she was the toast of two continents. She gets attracted to a man Tony Orsini who is half her age. The superb character development appears to make it captivating.

A Trail of Blood by Peter Goldman with Nicola Malatesta, PI is an interesting story having a great theme. It's a family drama, but there is a loneliness in the main character. I liked that.

A thriller suspense that is fast-paced with believable dialogue has me hooked. I like that one of the themes is finding one's self regardless of how it comes about. Great review!

The plot is very intriguing. It seems to be a good fast paced crime thriller. The characters seem well-built. Can't wait to read it. I would like to read other books in the series too. Congrats on BOTD!

Sophie actually reminds me of me 😂 I also actually try to write stories like this and this story is really enlightening especially after your review. You made some interesting key pointers which have now made me want to read it even more. Thanks for this!

I've never read a plot quite like this before. Not sure if it's for me. Nice review.

This seems to be a well-developed thriller plot. I believe Sophie's character development is noteworthy in the book. The use of dry humour would be good for engaging the readers. Thank you for the detailed review.

With the characterization of this book being a fast-paced, action-packed easy read with dry humor woven in for good effect, I'm sure there's a little bit in it for everyone.

This sounds like a good sleuthing novel, but without being a murder mystery. A rare find! I will have to check it out! Great review!

Sounds like a complex and interesting premise, but I think I’d like to read books 1-3 first for the sake of continuity! Great review!

I'm glad Sophie finally woke up and saw Tony for who he was. I just wish J.J. hadn't had to have almost died for it to happen. Not really my cup of tea, but for those who love the genre, it sounds like a thrilling book. Thanks for the excellent review!

A movie star that becomes victim to a pimp is an intriguing plot for sure. Not sure that I would be interested in this one, but congrats to the author on BOTD! :)

Aw shame on Sophie, I can only imagine what she was going through when she dated young boys; half her age in an attempt to nourish her sense of self. In the end, I am glad that she realised that she doesn't need affirmation of sex to satisfy her sense of self. What a wonderful review!
