Karen Rose's DIE FOR ME is her best romantic suspense to date. Sexy homicide detective Vito Chiccotelli, with the help of a beautiful archaeologist, Sophia Johannsen, uncover a field of graves that are not yet all full. Together the clues lead them through a trail of ancient history, full of armor, swords and torture devices as fascinating as the DiVinci Code. The serial killer is a cold and calculating villain that puts Hannibal Lector to shame. Rose masterfully blends the villain's computer savvy with an artistic flair to give the reader a fast pace whodunit. The closer Vito and Sophia get the killer, the closer he gets to them. This is a must buy page turner.

Detective Vito Ciccotelli is investigating a series of unmarked graves and the likelihood of a serial killer. He enlists the aid of archaeologist Sophie Johannsen when he finds clues pointing to the use of medieval torture devices. Sophie joins in his investigation and in turn puts her own life in danger. Rose writes an intricate, compelling and often fascinating plot although the identity of the killer was fairly east to uncover. Recommended.
If you like extreme violence,gore,and torture, this is the book for you. I don't. I tried to skip the worst parts, but that was most of the book. I finally stopped reading about 1/2 way through. It is well written, and there is a nice romantic part, but I couldn't take all the graphic torture and violence.
was a very good book. enjoyed reading it and will be reading more of her books
When a body is found in a snow covered field Decretive Vito Ciccotelli requests the help of archaeologist Sophie Johannsen to see what else may lie below the surface. Despite years of unearthing things Sophie is horrified when her search leads to a matrix of dead bodies but some of the pre-dug graves remain empty. Obviously the killer has more victims in mind. The killer is a cold and calculating monster who has devised a series of tortures in order to become famous in the world of games. There are several interesting suspects as Vito and Sophie pool their talents and try to stop a madman before he can fill all the graves. Chilling story I was unable to put down. Worth the read.
This was an excellent read. I'm not usually one for mysterys, but I was sucked into the story and couldn't put it down until I'd finished the story.
This book was a really great read. A very chilling killer and gruesome details, but the characters are wonderfully developed and I could hardly put it down.
Very good book! This was my first by Karen Rose but it definitely won't be my last.
