Some of the men come across as sexual predators with the thoughts and the way they pursue the women. Her books have been so far translated into over 20 languages and have been been featured on various bestseller lists, including the New York Times, USA Today, London’s Sunday Times, and Germany’s Der Spiegel. Then, on the verge of turning 30 years old, she says her husband finally told her that she should do something with her talent.

I am so worried that I have only one more to read then I will be waiting for Karen to get cracking on another one. New York Times bestselling author Karen Rose, the popular international romantic-suspense author, was born as Karen Rose Hafer in 1964 in Baltimore, Maryland and grew up in a small town outside of Washington D.A former high school teacher of chemistry and physics, Karen lives in Florida with her husband of more than thirty years and her dog, Loki. She suddenly finds herself hundreds of miles away from the past, ready to build a new life with her son, free from the violence of her husband. Detective Kit McKittrick works homicide in the hope that one day she will find out what happened to her foster sister, Wren. It's been a while since I've picked up a Karen Rose book, so when I saw this, I thought as it's the first in a series set in New Orleans, it would be the perfect place to pick up from. In this nerve-shattering novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Alone in the Dark, special Agents Griffin Davenport and Kate Coppola are on the trail of a depraved criminal.

What’s more, Rose has become known for having multiple series of novels that take place in certain cities. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too. Despite his primary talent taking place in the kitchen, he does an amazing job working with Molly while trying to pursue his father‘s killer. All of her books are romantic thriller and suspense, a genre that I enjoy reading when I want to pick up something lighter than the hardcore thrillers and crime mysteries I usually spend my time with.

Molly is a former marine, on the surface, is unruffled, calm and organised, but underneath she's carrying pain from her and her family's past. Xavier is in great danger but whoever is targeting him has to get through his family and friends first, and one of them is carrying knitting needles! But when a family tragedy exposes the dark side of her local police, she joined up with her former CO Burke Broussard, who left New Orleans PD to set up a private investigative service for people who couldn’t find justice elsewhere. Gabe is a minor celebrity chef, who, like many in his profession, is a bit of a hothead, but his caring nature shines through. His lead role is different from the law enforcement types and yet he can’t be discounted as a team member.

It is a real page turner with likable and engaging characters, murder, mystery, intrigue, and suspense. Another popular series by Rose is the Cincinnati series, which follows a group of detectives investigating a series of gruesome crimes linked to a larger conspiracy. As expected, Rose continues reeling out the shocking surprises in this blistering, high-octane plot that never lets up. And the body count mounts as the witnesses and potential problems are eliminated with Molly and Gabe on the to-do list along with a key person from the past, Xavier Morrow. PI Molly Sutton knows what it’s like to lose a father in tragic circumstances and will go to any lengths to crack the investigation, as she tries to fight off her growing feelings for Gabe.In all his years in the Chicago Fire Department, Lieutenant Reed Solliday has never experienced anything like this recent outbreak of house fires--devastating, vicious, and, in one case, homicidal. The constant shift in POVs made it challenging to fully connect with the characters, diminishing my overall experience.
