About this listen
What should have been a routine afternoon on the witness stand for forensic handwriting expert Claudia Rose turns into a shocking assault that leaves her bruised and bloodied. Following on the heels of a series of other traumatic events, the attack sends Claudia to the brink of a breakdown. Her fiancé, LAPD Homicide Detective Joel Jovanic, learns of the attack while leading a homicide investigation into a mailbox bomb.
An innocent housekeeper in the tony Venice neighborhood is dead, and the homeowner is the CEO of a major pesticide-producing corporation that has been targeted in the past. When a notebook found in a geocache near the crime scene leads to the protest group People for Safe Food, Jovanic needs Claudia to identify the handwriting of a suspected eco-terrorist.
Though she may have recovered physically from the assault weeks later, Claudia’s fears continue to plague her. Desperate to get away, she accepts an invitation to lecture in the UK, but her trip turns into a nightmare when she runs afoul of both the FBI and New Scotland Yard. Jovanic’s homicide case has followed her to London where she finds herself unexpectedly allied with the chief suspect.

Interestingly unique
Format: audiobook
Narrator: Anna Crowe
A throughly interesting and highly entertaining story, I was totally immersed in the book and couldn’t put it down.
It can be read as a stand alone but be warned if you read one you will want to read the others.
Great characters who are real and relatable combined with a fantastic storyline, what’s not to like.
Anna Crowe again delivers a great narration, I’ve not yet looked up what else she’s narrated but it’s high on my to do list.

Mystery & Suspense!
The thing I love the most about suspense thrillers is what I can learn from the author. This well researched story had me riveted to my seat! Claudia is an expert witness for forensic handwriting and after a prominent case is badly beaten. From this, the fear of more retaliation is real and Claudia goes to her friend Daphne's to heal, leaving her fiance Joel behind. He is a cop and is investigating a mailbox bombing. With so much going on, Claudia finds her skills in demand and she is busier than ever. Will she find her confidence again or is the fear warranted? This tale of mystery, intrigue and international crime leads us to all kinds of suspects. The writing is impeccable and kept me fascinated. I loved learning about handwriting and what an expert can derive from a loop or a slant. It's incredible to know so much is stored in a line of handwritten text! I would definitely recommend this and look forward to going back in the series.
Anna Crowe does an amazing job narrating this story. It's my first listen by her and I love her voice! She is just as mysterious and entertaining as the story, giving each character their own personality and made the listen intriguing.

Yet another enjoyable book in this series
This was such a fun listen, both in terms of the story and the narration. With each book I am learning more and more re forensic handwriting but it is explained in a patronising way which is great. The relationships are developing.
Thoroughly recommend.
I was given a free book by the author but the review is entirely my own.

So interesting!
Still absolutely love the idea of a graphologist! I found this story not as exciting as the previous book, regardless, it was still fun and interesting! Can't get enough of these books!!

Fascinating insight into forensic handwriting
Not my usual genre of books but I really enjoyed it and will likely buy more in the series.
Claudia Rose is a forensic handwriting expert and whilst giving evidence in court she is brutally attacked . Her friend in the UK invites her to lecture over there so she accepts hoping to get away from her recent attack and to build her confidence back up. Her Fiancé is a LAPD Detective and his homecide case seems to follow her to the UK where she runs into trouble with both the FBI and New Scotland Yard.

A tangled web, and all that.
Whilst appearing as an expert witness for the prosecution, Claudia is badly beaten up and almost strangled when the accused manages to leap free during a contrived incident in the court. Bruised and terrified, she finds her confidence gone during her convalesence, afraid to leave her home. To get far away from the streets where she fears further retribution from the attacker's gang of friends, she accepts the offer of an all expenses paid trip to London as the headline speaker at a conference being held there by girlfriend, Daphne, leaving her police officer fiancee behind to continue the investigation into the death of a maid in one of the more affluent areas of L.A.
But London holds it's own dangers and Claudia finds her skills as an handwriting expert in demand from more than just the conference as the case in L.A. seems to intertwine with others in England. Once again, she finds herself reluctantly drawn into possible danger.
Sheila Lowe has, with Outside the Lines, written another intriguing thriller of corruption, murder and double dealing, this time with international implications. As a Brit, the time Claudia spends in London, and later in Cambridge, are especially enjoyable as the author conjures up the atmosphere of both the place and the people well. The handwriting analysis passages are also fascinating, causing this reader to want to know much more. The book is performed with skill by Anna Crowe, whose very pleasant voice delivers the text with expression, good pacing and excellent intonation. Her voicing of the individual characters is also distinct, and, although her Irish accent certainly needs refinement, her narration overall adds to the enjoyment of the book.
My thanks to the rights holder of Outside the Lines, who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. Another good stand alone story in the forensic handwriting series.

Another crime thriller with a fast paced story
Sheila Lowe's protagonist, a handwriting expert, stars again in this story which is set both in the USA and London. The cast of characters includes some amusingly drawn individuals as well, of course, as villains. The backdrop is the use of poisonous pesticides. A great story, which shows the deepening of the relationship between the central character and her detective boyfriend.
