This is the "second" Mariah Stewart novel I've registered today! I finished one early in the morning, began this one and read it in a few hours. Riveting, to say the least.

A little too much inside the killer's mind. A little too descriptive foreplay. Otherwise, Stewart just keeps this story going.
As with the first in the series, it sets up for the next book in the series, so doesn't end here.
A sides story: Usually I request a book on-line and pick it up from the hold area of my branch. This one I actually looked for it in the library. Much to my surprise, it was in the Romance section. First I asked the librarian to keep lookout for me, as I di...more

This was such a good book! The only problem was I read the series out of order. If I hadn't of done that, it would have been even better. I didn't realize till the last two chapters that I did, so I guess it doesn't matter :) Mariah Stewart is a great author who gives good details, but I don't feel the same as I do with other authors; I don't feel like I become emotionally involved with the characters. Her books are good, the plot is good, the characters are good, details are good, I personally ...more
Mariah Stewart is listed as a 'romance mystery' writer....I'm not certain her books have any more (or less) romance than other writers of 'who done it' novels. That said, this one in particular is a good read. Stewart let's us in on the whole premise of the book in the prologue and then takes us through the the twists and turns by the police to figure out the actual killer. Quick read for these cold winter days in front of a fire.
Enjoyed the 2nd book in the "Dead" series as much as the first. My only complaint (once again) is that I wished it had a tad more romance in it. It has just enough that you can pick up the attraction between the two main characters, but it doesn't go much further than a few kisses. Also, both books have left me wondering what happens to the main characters in each story. Like another reviewer stated, one or two love scenes could have gone a long way in either of these books.

Excellent; one of three books tied to an agreement between criminals to kill each others' enemies; here a woman who had been stalked sees her friends murdered and realizes she's next.
Not her best book it ended a little abruptly. But, just like her other books it was a good read even though the ending was unexpectedly short.
Continuing quality reading.
This was just ok for me. I understand that the concept of the series (three guys in jail make a deal that requires each of them to kill the people another guy wants revenge on) requires that the books have similar plots, but this book just gave me a lot of deja vu. I’ll probably continue this series, but only because the 3rd bad guy is the weakest of the three and I want to see how that is handled.
Really enjoy this series.
Very enjoyable read. The characters in the story were interesting. Stewart is a good story writer. I'm ready to read another.
Creepy fun.
pretty good
