Product Description |
COME TO ME
The first victim is found in a snow-covered Philadelphia field. Detective Vito Ciccotelli enlists the aid of archaeologist Sophie Johannsen to determine exactly what lies beneath the frozen ground. Despite years of unearthing things long buried, nothing can prepare Sophie for the matrix of graves dug with chilling precision. The victims buried there haunt her. But the empty graves terrify her-the killer isn't done yet.
SCREAM FOR ME
He is cold and calculating, the master of a twisted game. Even with Vito and Sophie hot on his trail, he will not stop. One more empty grave must be filled, and one last scream must be heard-the scream of an archaeologist who is too close for comfort and too near to resist...

Mystery writer of our times |
|
I believe Karen Rose is one of the better mystery writers of our time. Her writing is discriptive,colorful and full of punch! I will certainly be on the look-out for her next book. Fritzie Edwards |

A page turner... |
|
This book really grabs your interest and keeps you wanting more. A very good mix of murder, mystery, and romance. |

Very creepy, don't read alone! |
|
Ok, this was my first read of Karen Rose. I loved the book! Loved the characters, everything about it. The gore was sometime a little much, but I don't know if the "serial killer visualization" (for lack of a better description???) would have been near as good without it! This book really had me engrossed and involved in the plot. A little freaky to read when you are by yourself, but that's the best part! A worthwhile read. |

I can't rank this author high enough |
|
I will devour every book she writes...she's that good. Her murder/romance genre of book is intense, hot and something that I can't put down...no matter what the topic is. This woman knows how to write a good mystery with some hot sex thrown in (and in most cases I skip the sex scenes just to get on with the great story). |

Die or Scream-plenty of both |

I think the idea of a review is to let others interested in reading the book, know what you liked or didn't like about the book. This was my first Karen Rose book so had no preconceived ideas. After the first chapter I wasn't sure I wanted to continue as I definitely do not like scenarios of torture. However, I continued and found with the way KR writes I could skim the descriptions of torture and finish the book. I liked the way KR divides into sections of place, date and time and changes characters so it was easy to skim or even skip some of the more graphic details of our serial killer. I think KR is a talented writer who really keeps the story moving. Even though it's a thriller with some romance thrown in, there is also enough humor and family values with Vito's family to lighten it somewhat. I think I enjoyed Sophie's character because yes, she's a very independent woman who's very bright but yet not so independent that she could accept protection when warranted. I thought she handled herself well after being taken by the serial killer. (well that was a given wasn't it?) She did certainly help herself but yet the author has the (her) cop complete the final rescue. (So many authors have the heroine not need anyone and takes the villan out herself-yeah right). I just felt it was an interesting book that moved along and very well rounded story. Even the ending which builds to a sequel doesn't disappoint because the main characters have closure. If you can handle some graphic scenes, the story itself is pretty interesting. I just started the sequel so hope it's as good. |
