Customer Reviews

My Favorite book ever!

This one tops my list of favorite books. There's murder and romance mixed together so well as well as being fast paced. Plenty of suspicious characters to make you wonder who exactly did it. A great read and I highly recommend it.

Not Quite a Ghost Story, But a Real Grabber

Is it a ghost, or did her fiancé not die in South America as she'd been led to believe? Rachael had only been nineteen when Tom vanished on that flight. Now, ten years later and back in town because her parents had been killed in a plane crash, she sees someone who looks enough like Tom to be his twin. The mysterious stranger is Adam Delefield, a friend of her father's, or so he says. He also says he owed her father money he wants to repay. Her life is in a turmoil. Someone is trying to kill her, her emotions are out of control. Businessmen aren't supposed to have guns. People are lying to her. Who can she trust? Adam, can she trust him? Wow! What a book. I was enthralled with this five star romantic thriller. Yes, I said thriller. This book had me on the edge of my seat, panting, heart racing, it was a thriller. Reviewed by Vesta Irene

Compelling! Hard to put down! You want to know Who's Adam?

This book completely draws you in. You'll stay up all night wanting to learn the secrets that are lurking. The underlying love that develops adds just a bit more of suspense, as you wonder "Who is Adam?" I found this book exciting and easy to read. I hated for it to end....This book was pure gold for having just picked it up based on the back cover!

I liked it!

This was my favorite book of Hooper's, after the Caroline book. Much better than either Finding Laura or Amanda.

A Mystery for Romance Readers

Kay Hooper has written a book of suspense and mystery for women who read romance. She understands us. Terrible things have happened to Rachel Grant. As a young woman, she lost her finance and her world was dimmed, seemingly forever. For years she has gone through the motions, numb. Now, she must deal with the aftermath and guilt of her parents sudden death. She returns home and things begin to happen to her, at once strange and frightening. A man steps into the center of the mystery, Looking like her fiance he seems a saviour, but who is he really? Her uncle seems to be searching the house frantically for something, but what? Her fathers lawyer seems to want to protect her interests but what is he really doing? Ms. Hooper has taken these elements and more, weaving them into an amazingly complex tale with many of the dramatic elements Alfred Hitchcock put in his still thrilling films. Like Hitchcock, humor gleams thru the mystery at the most unexpected moments. When I finished this book, I closed it with the satisfaction that comes with a good read. Like a good meal it leaves a pleasant memory. I recommend it highly.
