Carolyn Carver’s novel set in Australia, Dead Heat [ISBN 0 75285 917 X] has a fair plot with many twists and turns which makes for a pretty complex kind of process – and the narrative reveals terrifying ordeal after ordeal for our hapless heroine. Its another of those relentless books that never allows you to take a breath. Deep characterisations often get in the way of a pacy read, and that is probably why I don’t now remember much about them.
