Die For Me
Karen Rose just keeps pumping out these books. I love her for it, because her books are entertaining, and I am amazed. I love to write myself and wish I could be like that too. Anyway, this book is about Vito Ciccotelli, who was introduced in I think the book Don’t Tellwith Tess and Aidan. This continues the story with Vito (with an appearance from his sister Tess) and Sophie Johannesn. Sophie is an archaeologist who is brought in by the police department (Vito and company) to determine how many bodies are buried in a filed outside of New York. Because she becomes entangled up in the mystery and murder, she herself becomes the hunted.
This book had its ups and downs. Again, Karen introduces the killer in the beginning of book which I love. Andy is always complaining about watching shows and not really having that guessing game to figure out who it is, like Without a Trace. But Karen keeps you guessing. The love story between Sophie and Vito is believable. The attraction they feel for one another seeps off the page. The only thing I didn’t like was Sophie’s character. She was too bullheaded and kind of snobbish at times. I like to associate with the main character and up until the middle half of the book, I really didn’t like her that much.
This book was pretty good. I’d give it a 7. I would say if you are looking for suspense and love, this is the book for you.
