Helpful Score: 5
I love Mariah Stewart. Her books are very easy to dive into and read in one day. I have read all her books and this one is just a good as the rest. It grabs you from the get go and makes you want to keep reading. Highly recommended book and author.
Helpful Score: 2
Romance and suspense. Good one.
This was a perfectly competent novel, just not the sort of thing I really enjoy. It's exactly like that slew of Ashley Judd -starring thrillers in the 90s/2000s -- there's no real mystery about who the killer is, and there's no real tension in the romantic element, but if you like the leads you'll like the book. I couldn't say it was badly written, but it was obviously written; there was no real atmosphere or character development, but the plot moved quickly and the resolution worked.
Very good book!!!
Awesome plot....couldn't put this one down....Mariah Stewart is fast becoming my favorite author
Mariah Stewart is one of my favorite authors of the Romantic Suspense genre and this one definitely didn't disappoint.
Of the 10 or so Mariah Stewart novels I've read, this is the best.
A great mystery.
FBI sketch artist drawn into a series of cases that brings he into contact with her past and a past lover.
enjoyable read.
enjoyable read.
Sketch artist Kendra Smith, the heroine of Mariah Stewart's (The President's Daughter, etc.) Until Dark, has experienced more than her share of sorrow: her father died of cancer, her brother and cousin are presumed murdered and her mother recently committed suicide. Still, she agrees to lend her skills when her ex-boyfriend, Special Agent Adam Stark, asks for her aid in searching for the Soccer Mom Killer, who targets blonde single mothers. The sexual chemistry between Adam and Kendra simmers on the back burner as they work the case, which may disappoint those looking for more sparks. But when Ian's watch shows up near one of the murder scenes and victims turn up bearing crosses and butterfly clips identical to the ones Kendra wears, tension of another sort heats up. Savvy readers may immediately suspect who the killer is, but this thriller packs a few extra punches for those who are overconfident in their powers of deduction.
This author knows how to keep me on the edge of my chair throughout the entire book. I just cant put her books down until I've finished.
Mystery/Thriller very engrossing.
Good plot.An artist that draws for the FBI is getting over the death of her mother when draw into a FBI case.She will be drawn into more than that before it is over.
