The story kept me riveted-and turning the pages
After meeting Tempest in the first book, At The Edge, we've come to expect what she is like. Honestly, we get a whole different view of her in this book. It all begins with her playing a cat burglar-and gets more and more intense. Marcus, a one night stand, has set up an intricate plot to get Tempest to help him figure out who killed his parents years ago. Once Tempest begins delving into ...

Joyce Carol Oates

Harvest Books, 2007

Chilling and insightful
Scripture says that the sins of the fathers are visited on the sons. The meaning of this verse is commonly taken to imply the consequences of sinful parenting. For Oates, the sins of the parents are visited on the daughters. Here is an outstanding collection of women and girls of varying ages and circumstances who have in common both a horrible past or current hurt/injury by the one who they ...

Tonight You're Mine: A Novel Of Psychological Suspense

Carlene Thompson

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 1998

the best thriller I have read lately
I have been reading a lot of thrillers lately, and have decided that Carlene Thompson is by far my favorite writer in this genre. Her books are very well written. Her characters are much more intelligent and self reliant than most. I have been distracted and annoyed by the poor grammar, characters' names changing out of the author or editor's carelessness, and overly elaborate descriptions of ...

Start with this book by Carolyn Wheat
Carolyn Hart, Mystery Maitresse, suggested this book to me. She was right. I was gratified to discover just how many things I am already doing correctly without any understanding of the structure provided by this book. Ms. Carolyn Wheat provides valuable insight into a great many other issues. Yes, this book will provide guidelines for the next several weeks. Thank you.

William Noble

Writers Digest Books, 1999

This book rocks!
This is the most helpful book on writing that I've ever read. Period. Every time I read through it again, or page through to reread my highlighted sections, I'm amazed by the mixture of common sense, insight, alacrity and experience that fill every page. Noble's secrets on subtly and misdirection, finding ways to let scenes, storylines, and themes converge, and insights on character ...

Marta Perry

Steeple Hill, 2008

A Ripping Good Story
Most of Jennifer Pappas old schoolmates attended the ten-year reunion at Magnolia College. Josie Skereritt couldn't attend. Her skeleton had been discovered by a construction crew breaking ground for the new library. Penny Brighton isn't there either, probably because she's the prime suspect in Josie's death. Mason Grant is there, though. He was Jennifer's closest friend back in school, but their ...

Diane/David Munson

Faithwalk Publishing, 2005

From today's headlines and last week's church bulletin comes a new legal thriller from the Munson team.
Both Dave and Diane have such interesting legal backgrounds and that is evident in their first legal thriller. I felt like I had a behind the scenes pass to see how our justice system really works. I was very impressed. I believe we will be seeing many more novels from this duo. Their book will stand out in the marketplace as I do not know of any other authors who are writing with the depth of ...

Creepy Thriller
If you're seeking something creepy, twisted and bizarre, you'll find it in Robert Walker's latest work of fiction, Psi Blue. Walker is the author of more than 40 novels, including the critically acclaimed City for Ransom, and Psi Blue is his most recent achievement in thrills and suspense, though hopefully not his last. Psi Blue is a psychic sensory thriller filled with truly evil characters ...

Kathy Herman

Multnomah Books, 2006

A wonderful book
All Things Hidden is the third book in Kathy Herman's Seaport Suspense series. Ellen and Guy Jones (whom we first meet in Herman's five-book Baxter series) face one of their strongest challenges yet: caring for their aging fathers. They move the gentlemen into a local retirement community, and everything seems to be going along smoothly. One day, Ellen's father wanders into town and becomes ...

Protecting His Witness (Silhouette Romantic Suspense) (Silhouette Intimate Moments)
Marie Ferrarella

Harlequin, 2008

Undercover police officer Zack McIntyre couldn't make sense of the beautiful, mysterious stranger who had saved him from death. She cared for him with skilled, gentle hands, awakening passions within him, but her haunted eyes spoke of secrets, lies and terrible fear. And he knew he couldn't rest unless he kept her safe from harm—and made her his own. Endless months in the shadows, hiding from a killer, had taught Dr. Krystle Maller to trust ...

Nancy C. Johnson

Penwyck Publishing LLC, 2007

Compelling and Suspenseful
Highly recommended. Well-written and suspenseful. Johnson succeeds in balancing plot and characters, no easy feat. This story is full of people so real you feel as if you could call them on the phone and chat with them. At the same time, she seamlessly develops a very suspenseful tale for them, enmeshing them in intrigue and sometimes danger. You really feel for the main character, Gwyn, who ...

Susan Page Davis

Steeple Hill, 2008

Staying One Step Ahaed of a Killer
I know Susan Page Davis from posting on "ShoutLife" and "Edgy Christian Fiction Lovers" and since the title was intriguing, I decided to order "Witness." I was not disappointed. The plot twists kept coming. I enjoyed the read tremendously. One day when Petra Wilson was out on her back deck, throwing a toy to her beloved golden retriever Mason, she turned to look toward her neighbor's ...

Ariana Franklin

William Morrow, 2006

One of the Best Books I Have Ever Read
My husband and I purchased this book to read on vacation. We paced ourselves so we could make the book last longer. The story, characters, writing was so compelling, very hard to put down. Ariana Franklin is an excellent writer, I am SO glad I found her, and yes I have read her other books which are equally well written. This is a historical mystery, but we were disturbed by the parallels ...

Margaret Daley

Steeple Hill, 2008

Who, What, When, Where, Why?-
I always enjoy a Margaret Daley book and Don't Look Back was no exception. I wasn't even sure what a continuity was until I was well into this book and realized I'd already read the first in the series as well, Hidden in the Wall by Valerie Hansen. I liked emotionally shut down journalism professor Jameson King. I wanted to slap him and yell at him to get on with his life, but I really ...

Patricia Highsmith

St. Martin's Griffin, 2001

Interesting and entertaining
I'm glad I bought this book. As an author of suspense myself, I found it very worthwhile. It won't teach you how to write--but I've found no book can really do that. In the same vein as Stephen Kings book On Writing, it is more an account about how this highly successful author developed her craft over the years, her successes and failures. If you want a how to guide you would be better off ...
