Description

With Every Turn In The Case. . .
After moving from Los Angeles to Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, homicide detective Claire Morgan has at last adjusted to the peaceful rhythms of rural life. Until a grisly celebrity murder at an ultra-exclusive "wellness" resort shatters a quiet summer morning. . .

With Every Twist Of The Mind. . .
One of Dr. Nicholas Black's high-profile clients, a beautiful young soap opera star, has been found dead, taped to a chair at a fully set table. . .submerged in the lake. Back in L.A., Claire investigated the rich, famous, and the deadly--but she never expected the problems of the privileged to follow her to this sleepy small town. Just as she never imagined crossing the line with her prime suspect. . .

With Every Beat Of The Heart. . .
Immersed in the case, Claire finds herself drawn to the charismatic doctor, spending more and more time in his company--and in his bed. Now, to catch a killer, Claire will have to enter the darkest recesses of the human mind. But is Black leading her there to help her. . .or luring her ever deeper into a madman's grip?

    What a page turner!! The suspense is amazing, the plot so very unusual. Felt as though I was right there with Annie/Claire, fighting for answers, for her friends. Quite a "Cliff Hanger". Will enjoy more in the series.

  • Wow! Great Find of New Author

    Completely surprised by finding a new (to me) fabulous author. Read HEAD TO HEAD as quickly as possible, really got into it. Lots of hints along the way, but never any detail to slow the pace. Never saw the answer coming. Beautifully paced, great characters, a truly thrilling read.

  • Love this series!!

    Wow, what a breath taking book! Just kept me scared to read but to enticing to put down. Certainly read all Clair Morgan series.

  • Don't look at the table of contents!!

    Honestly a good read. Great suspense and well developed characters. HOWEVER...the killer is obviously identified in the table of contents. I felt like I spent the whole book trying to figure out the killer's history instead of trying to decipher who the killer was. That's the whole thrill of a murder/mystery book, and it was stolen away. What a disappointment!

  • Awesome read

    This was a thrilling read. I throughly enjoyed every page. The author is a great writer. She takes you through her story as if you are really there. She has just the right amount of characters. Not too less, where you get bored fast and not so many that you can't keep track of them all. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a page turning book full of excitement.

    Would have been better if the killer hadn't been given away in the Table of Contents
