Customer Reviews

I don't know what the other readers are talking about...

I really enjoyed reading this book! In fact, I'm going to re-read it again in the near future. I found the plot line very exciting and the ending was unexpected. I couldn't put it down because I couldn't wait to found out what would happen. Don't let the other reviews convince you that this is not a "must read" book if you are a true Heather Graham fan.

exhilarating paranormal psychological romantic suspense

That deadly incident triggered her to become a psychologist using art therapy to help survivor victims and as a consultant to the police. Her current assignment is to help locate a swimsuit model Colleen Rodriguez whose employer the Bryson Agency insists she went missing in the Keys for some fun in the sun. Her inquiry leads to British private investigator Luke Cane who is undercover as Jack Smith of Mermaid Designs searching for Colleen also. They soon find leads to the same cult leader who engineered the massacre of Chloe's friends ten years ago while the ghost of Colleen visits Chloe pleading for help. More homicides occur as Chloe and Luke are attracted to one another, but ending the cult leader's killing spree supersedes their feelings even as more ghosts visit her. The Killing Edge is an exhilarating paranormal psychological romantic suspense thriller that grips the audience from the opening Manson-like slaughter and never slows down as Chloe charges head first into the fray while Luke tends to back away until now as he finally has a purpose: keeping Chloe safe. Fast-paced throughout, readers will enjoy this fine tale as the ghosts of past and present urge Chloe on while Luke begs her to reconsider her face first plunges into danger. Harriet Klausner

Wonderful romantic suspense novel

I've read several of Heather Graham's contemporary and historical romances but this is the first romantic suspense I've picked up...and I'm glad I did. This is a great romantic suspense novel with twists and turns I didn't see coming. Graham is a veteran writer and her characterizations have depth and the suspense plot is tight and logical. All in all, The Killing Edge is an excellent read. If you enjoy romantic suspense novels, grab a copy of The Killing Edge or you'll be sorry you missed it. :) ~ Renee, [...]

Fine example of Romantic Suspense

Yes, this is a story of romantic suspense, a genre well known for many years. The Killing Edge fulfils all the necessary elements for an edge-of-the-seat thriller with, gasp, a strong relationship adding to the conflict. Heather Graham is a master of romantic suspense--or any other genre she enters. The roots of romantic suspense may have been in the so-called gothic stories. Taylor Caldwell wrote many including Penmarric. The Bronte sisters wer also outstanding examples. We can't all appreciate the same types of books, but we can be open to encouraging readers to experiment in areas that are new to them.
