complex and a little scarey!! - By: Penny Harvey, 12 Jul 2006 
I have enjoyed alll of Ms Rose's books & this was no exception. It is fast paced, twists & turns & the characters are reallly superb.
Tess Ciccotelli is a psychiatrist - the psychiatrist who testified against the police in a high profile case & instead of death row a murderer was confined to a three meals a day psychiatric hospital.
When one of her patients commits suicide Aidan Reagan is assigned the case - he knows of Ms Ciccotelli - but does not know her. As more of her patients meet their maker Tess & Aidan begin to bond & as the web becomes tighter they are pushed closer together.
The emotional intensity is fraught at times, with good central & ancilliary characters & a fast pace; the story line is good as well - but I NEVER get the murderer anyway, so that doesn't mean no-one else will!!
A superb read!
Chilling! - By: Kristi Ahlers, 29 Apr 2006 Doctor Tess Ciccotelli is a psychiatrist & when her troubled patients begin to die in suspect ways the police think she may be the killer. When detective Aidan Reagan & his partner Todd Murphy catch her case Aidan is quick to judge the one woman he feels alllowed a monster to escape his punishment. Tess knows she's going to have to cooperate with the police she only wishes she didn't see Aidan as a man, a man who makes her want a the security of his arms.
Aidan Reagan is prepared to hate Tess for her role in alllowing a murdering monster to escape standing trial. He is convinced she is the enemy. But, when the murders of her patients begin to climb & she is ruined & her friends an family are in danger he realizes that he is wrong about Tess. She cares & despite his best effort he finds out so does he. He now needs to find a killer who wants Tess dead before he looses the one person he'll ever love.
Ms. Rose has done it again. She is one talented writer who can draw out a suspense read to the final spine chilling end. It was fun to re-visit with Abe, Kristen, & the rest of the Reagan family. Aidan & Tess are compelling characters & the nightmare Ms. Rose creates for them is top drawer. This is one author I highly recommend.
