Finn’s review of Beg Me (Teresa Knight, Book 2) by Lisa Lawrence
Erotica released 29 May 07 by Delta
Beg Me is the second book of the adventures of Teresa Knight, a female private detective with a thing for kink. This book takes you from Bangkok, to New York, to Africa, and back to New York after Teresa is hired by Ah Jo Lee to investigate the murder of his sister, Anna. A sister who was in a BDSM cult in Manhattan that Teresa must infiltrate to find the murderer.
It would take some pretty heavy begging to get me to read this book again. Ugh! The first half of the book book is chaotic. It jumps from location to location, with so many place names and history lessons, it’s confusing. The actual investigation into Anna’s murder doesn’t start until half way through the book, after I already wanted to stop reading it!
When Teresa final gets into the cult, the story takes off and reads well. The ending wraps everything up nicely – we learn who Anna’s killers are and Teresa stops a mass killing.
Overall, I say don’t bother with this unless you want to read the kink in the second half of the book.
Grade: D
