Before I Wake is a Great book! You are drawn into it from page one.

Realistic characters. Interaction builds relationships. Plot is not simplistic. Fast read as one can’t put it down.

Before I Wake (Series #1)

Excellent for the mystery lovers! I think I know who the top dog is but am not 100% sure. I can hardly wait until #2 is available. Please don't keep me waiting too long!!!!!

A Great Book

This Book was great, It makes you feel like you are part of it.

Another Great Book!

This is yet another great book from Dee Henderson! The start of another series that I will be getting as well! I can't wait for the next book... just like her other series. Once you start you can't put the book down and when you're finished you want more!

Awesome!

Finally a new Dee Henderson! This one definitely lives up to her other novels! The characters are people you just want to get to know! Plus you even get a few mentions of people from past books, which always makes me happy. This book is set in small town Illinois. Rae is just moving there to join an old friend, Bruce, in a private investigations business. She is former FBI and retired from there after a really bad last case. Bruce and Rae met when they were both with the Chicago PD. Rae's first case as a private investigator turns into a huge case that involves the apparent natural causes deaths of three women. The local sheriff, Nathan, already has his hands full with a huge factory strike and these cases are closed off because there is no evidence of foul play. Rae is hired by one of the dead woman's parents to find out more. Nathan, Bruce and Rae work mostly together throughout the entire book. The case ends up involving drug labs. It is very involved and definitely gripping. A warning - this is a cliff hanger and Henderson does not wrap up all the threads at the end of the novel. Hopefully there will soon be a follow up to this book! While Rae has two possible romantic involvements (both Bruce and Nathan are interested), there really is no movement on that front in this book. It is a book of friendship ties. Hopefully we'll get a little romance in the continuation! (I'm rooting for Bruce, but you have your choice). Definitely worth the time to read as are all of Henderson's books. Just don't plan on getting much sleep once you get into the book!
