Marissa received a review copy in exchange for her honest review from St. Martin's Publishing. Her review was first posted at Romancing the Book.
My biggest pet peeves in fiction writing are stilted speech, inane dialogue that just wouldn’t happen between two people, descriptions of the obvious, and errors in the time line. Unfortunately, this book is full of all of these things. For instance, when Catherine falls into an old cistern, becomes tangled in the hair of a dead body and keeps getting d...more

Unfortunately, this is one of the books I bought for my birthday.
What a waste of money. The lead character,Catherine, was someone I never connected with. She is whiney and very childish. the man she loved married someone else and his wife was a nightmare. After she had disappeared, he divorced her and finally, he and Catherine became a couple. As a psychologist, you would think she would be more logical and grown up than she is. His ex wife was found by Catherine on his family's propery, murdere...more

TO THE GRAVE by Carlene Thompson is an interesting romantic suspense.While this is my first time reading this author's work,it will not be my last. "To The Grave" has suspense,secrets,obsession, love, murder and and bit of romance. Set in Aurora Falls Catherine Gray and James Eastman on a journey to find the truth,a murderer,if Catherine can stay alive. While,a little slow and maybe a bit drawn out in the beginning,"To The Grave

This was one of those books that had me at the blurb but then lost me when I started reading it.

Catherine falls in a cistern and discovers Rene, the ex wife of her boyfriend! This is not the only murder in town- there follows a series of murders and attempted murders connected with Rene's death.
I really enjoy Thompson's books but this was not up to par in my book. I felt part of the ending [and solution to the murders] was a little weak.

Well written suspenseful thriller, To The Grave pulls the reader in from the beginning and keeps you guessing until the end. James is a compelling character and you want to know more about his loyalty to his ex-wife and his newer relationship with Catherine. I would definitely try another of Carlene Thompson’s books.

I could not get into this book. It was overly descriptive, like a high school creative writing student would be (a bad one) I have read her material before but after 85 pages I ended my misery and put it down

Ehhh, a bit contrived. not my favorite by Thompson.
I have never read a book that kept me guessing as much as this one. I have been a Stephen King fan for years so I usually do not do mystery/suspense books but this one had a balance of everything imaginable in a book and that made it a on the edge of my seat read for me!
I was very disappointed in Thompson's new book. I'm a huge fan of her earlier novels, especially Black For Remembrance. However, I just could not get into this one. I might try it again later, but right now there are better books to read.
