Book Description:
TRUTH HAS DEADLY CONSEQUENCES
Twenty-six years ago, even before a series of brutal murders rocked the idyllic town of Bowers Inlet, Cassie Burke lost her parents, her sister, and nearly her own life to a transient befriended by her father. Back then, Cassie was a scared kid-now she's a homicide cop. Back then, the suspect was caught and convicted-he died in prison. But now the killing has started again. And all signs indicate that the Bayside Strangler has come back for more.
With too many victims and too few suspects, Cassie has her hands full investigating the case, while working through the old trauma it has brought to the surface. Luckily, FBI agent Rick Cisco is dispatched to lend support. Together, Cassie and Rick must uncover the link between the dark past and the dangerous present to bring this small town's long nightmare to an end. If they fail, an elusive fiend will slip back into the shadows . . . to watch and wait-and kill another day.
In matters of crime, there are many versions of the truth.

Initially I was skeptical of this book because most of the reviews quoted were from romance reviewers. However, since PBS thiller readers seem to like her I thought I'd give this book a try.
I am not sure why this book is marketed as a romantic thriller, because there is no more romance than in your average Sanford Prey novel, which is to say not much. Instead this is an enjoyable, though fairly ordinary, suspense/thriller novel. Would make a good beach or airplane read since it could be finished in a long day.

This is the first book I've read by this author. I will definitely read more. Very talented writer. This is the first in a series of 4 books. I am waiting on the other 3!!! Keeps you going until the end and a very good "who done it".

What a great book to read since I don't typically read murder/mystery books. The twists and turns in this book kept me wanting to read it constantly - of course I couldn't put it down the closer to the end that I got. Great book!

One in a series. Very good book. Can't wait to read the others. Mariah is fast becoming a favorite.

I recently discovered this author and have been reading everything of hers. This series I especially liked as it continues along the same story line w/the same characters. She does a great job of weaving it all together down to the last page of the last book in this series.

Excellent book by a new to me author. Kept me guessing right till the end and didn't have any boring parts at all. It is the first in the series, and I can't wait to read the others.

Edna M P. (This was a great suspense story with a little romance. Cass Burke, a detective in a small idyllic town called Bowers Inlet must face an old trauma from her childhood. Her mother, father and sister were killed and she was the loan survivor of six years of age. Twenty-six years later, the killer returns to town to finish what he started.
I enjoyed this very much. I enjoy suspense. Some characters introduced in this book may appear in the next one entitled "Hard Truth."
Ann B. (good reading - she really keeps you on edge.

Lani C. from BRIGHTON, MI wrote on 3/31/2007...this one I liked the best of hers
Cassie lost her whole family to a murderer befriended by her dad. Now she's a cop and the killing has started again. The first murderer died in prison. So who's the Bayside Strangler now?
Truth Series (Hard Truth, Dark Truth, Cold Truth . . .)
Fanny A. from Wake Forest, NC wrote on 1/18/2007...Book is in great conditions!
Although this series of books contain some romance, I would say mystery is parmount in the story.
