This is 5th book of Ginna Grays I have read. Started reading this author because I read somewhere that if you enjoyed Nora Roberts books you would like Ginna Gray. Have enjoyed all 5 books and will look for more.

Predictably plot, I caught on to the supposedly surprised ending before third chapter. Me Gray is a new author to me and I picked this book thinking it would keep me entertained, there was action but it wasn't really what I thought it would be. Was this going to be a series? I hope not I have feelings for the characters.

Detective Casey O'Toole and her partner Dennis are called to a crime scene that appears to be related to a series of killings from another jurisdiction. When Casey is selected to head a multi-department task force, she is met with resistance from the inept county sheriff but manages to rise above the muck. When the victims are linked to a sexy and prominent plastic surgeon, the widowed Casey finds herself attracted to a potential suspect. Dr. Mark Adams is soon cleared, but continues to find reasons to bump into Casey as the attraction is definitely mutual. Casey shares an attribute of the victims - her curly red hair. When an attempt is made on her life, she has to wonder if she's the next victim.

Light on suspense (as many have mentioned, it is easy to figure out within the first few chapters), overall, it has an interesting plot. With the exception of Casey and Mark, most of the characters are not fully developed, the dialogue is pretty stale (do you know anyone under 70 who says "oh dear?"), and Mark's premature protestations of love within days of meeting her make the romance unbelievable. There was just too much going on - between the murders, the office politics, the delivery of her cousin's twins, the family dynamics, and the romance... the story just seemed incomplete. I love Gray's plots, but her inability to create realistic dialogue and overpopulated storylines keep her books from being 5-star reads.

I enjoyed the romantic elements of this book, along with the charming family characters. My main problem with it is the lack of suspense. There were tense moments but, unfortunately, I guessed who the murderer is fairly early on. I won't give it away, but there were some very obvious clues and none of the other potential suspects came across as being very likely. Overall, it's an enjoyable read but don't expect any "knock your socks off" surprises.

I liked this book. Kept my interest and finished it in one day. I have always enjoyed Ginna Grays books.
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2005
Despite the fact that I guessed who the killer was rather quickly, I still think it is undoubtedly a great novel. Some might argue that it is your basic cop chases killer novel which seems to overrun the world today, but it is written with such elegance that it cannot be so simply lumped into that category.

Her characters are colorful and somehow this writer just sucks you in. It's almost impossible to put down. She has a unique style of writing that flows into your mind.

With a lot of books it is sometimes difficult to keep all of the details straight because you're supplied with too much information; she gives you just the right amount. A lot of books that I have read also have unnatural dialogue, and oftentimes characters seem to do things that just don't fit with their personalities, Ginna Gray does not have this problem. In this book the characters are not only fascinating but also well written, and well liked.

This is the only book that I have read by this author, but I do fully intend on buying another one of her books. I found it to be a good book to read in the bathtub, and that is when she transported me to Mears Colorado.

2.0 out of 5 stars No Suspense - Recommended if you have trouble going to sleep
Reviewed in Germany on June 3, 2014
You know that you're in the 21st century when you read a real, printed book and just stopped yourself from tapping at words to look them up... Yupp, after 45 ebooks so far this year, this just happened to me. Real books: lacking a god GUI, font is not changeable, but at least it smells good. Got this book cheap, used and lucked out in getting a copy that looked like new, an easily removed sticker from the shop showing that it was not (given back unread? stock from a closed shop? I will never know).

Skimming a few reviews despite a fear of spoilers, I guess I already know who the Killer is and that is at least one star this book will not get, if it proves right (and the reviews point in that direction).

Past the 30% that I set myself as the point where can last I abandon a book, I will try to finish it, but it drags, more personal stuff, than suspense and murder. What I would really like is if the killer turns out to be someone different from my guess, or one of the main persons, like the female detective, gets killed - yeah, like that will happen. A real major twist could save it, but so far I am nearly into FF-mode, will soon start only skimming the pages. Never felt so much the urge to read the ending.
This could get 2 stars although I have trouble justifying the second star at this point in the book.
Too much family, too much thinking of the main characters about romance and partnership. If at least one of the characters where gay, or a real pervert or something else interesting.

No twists, everything as expected from the beginning, 1 additional star as I wonder how a book with a redheaded detective chasing a serial killer can be as dull. Oh, wait, she is not really chasing the killer, more like she stumbles into him, as she has more family live and dull romances and nearly no sex (one boring plain sex-scene). Not at all realistic. She would have been better of taking the offered job at the FBI and doing real work. If you want to read a good romance-suspense book look elsewhere, no suspense here to be found. Should have abandoned it. Recommendation: the early romance books by Tess Gerritsen. Maybe it is too long ago I read them, but still, they cannot be as bad as this one.

Recommended if you have trouble going to sleep...
