Elizabeth Adler Does Romantic Suspense Better Than Most

I often find romantic suspense silly and not worth reading. But Elizabeth Adler gives her characters such depth and backstory that I was hard-pressed to tear myself away from this one. Mallory Malone appears to be the woman who has it all. She is attractive, rich, and host of a program which appears to be as popular as Oprah's. When a series of grisly murders in the Boston area occur, homicide detective Harry Jordan enlists her help. Naturally, Harry is not your average cop. He comes from old Boston money and society, was once a lawyer, and lives in a glamourous home plus has an equally glamourous getaway place and drives a Jag. When the two meet, he begins to fall in love but cannot get past the hard and brittle veneer Mallory has encased herself in. The reader knows these two are destined to be together and the trip there is well worth it. Fast-paced action, a psychopathic killer that wears Gucci loafers and expensive cashmere sweaters, and a retrospective look at Mallory's past that endears her to the reader, all combine to make this a most-appealing and quick read. And did I mention the dog. Squeeze is about as lovable as any canine in fiction and lives up to his name in a thrilling climax. The plotting is quick and exciting, the romance is electric, and the total package makes for a highly enjoyable book.

GREAT MYSTERY

This book is very good. It contains all the elements necessary to hold the reader's attention. The hero is admirable and his dog (I always love a story with a dog) is fantastic. The characters are well defined and very likeable (with the exception of the murderer). I highly recommend this book.

Great Book!

This was one terrific book. The suspense kept me page-turning well into the night. I was just dying to know what Mal's "secret" was. All the characters seemed to really come to life for me. I don't think you'll be dissapointed if you read this book. I also enjoyed Sooner or Later, but I think I liked this one a little bit more.

Pretty cool

It was the first Adler I read and was a bit tentative at first but I must admit it was riveting.Great plot, believable characters and gory murders. I found myself praying for th women and enjoying the main characters. I had a lot of fun seeing Mal and Harry's relationship develop. I've always wondered about long- distance relationships but they kept up well.A great read, an un-put-downable work. I hope to get more of the same soon.

I truly enjoyed this book!!!!

I've never read any of Elizabeth Adler's work before and I must say, I did enjoy this book. I particulary liked the chemistry between Harry and Mallory and I found it to be refreshing. I couldn't wait to find out what the secret was that kept poor Mallory feeling so lonely and out of touch. Harry was a true gentleman and I'm thinking that all women deserve a man like him. I am planning to buy Sooner or Later. I can only hope that it will be just as good as Now or Never.
