3.0 out of 5 stars
Not as good as previous novels, but still ok, Feb 3 2010
By S. Bivins "southern reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dead By Midnight (Paperback)
I waited a long time for this novel to come out. This is once again, the Powell Agency. I love Ms. Barton and I am from Alabama, so that in itself is worth 3 stars. However, I did not think this one was as good as her previous novels. She did tie up some loose ends from her last novel and left some untied(?) The book did keep my interest, however,it seemed to get "Bogged Down" somewhat with so many characters. I would recommend reading her previous Powell Agency books first, but if you don't this one can stand alone. I know Ms. Barton will finish this series with a bang. I have faith in her and am looking forward to her next novel. This one was just not as good as I had anticipated. As I have said before, she has set the bar so high with her previous novels, it is going to be interesting to see what she comes up with next.

"Dead BY Midnight", Feb 23 2010

This review is from: Dead By Midnight (Paperback)
Lorie Hammonds and Mike Birkett were a High Schoolloving couple. Lorie decided she wanted to be an
actress. She tried to encourage Mike to go to
Hollywood with her. Mike had his own plans he
wanted to go into law enforcement.
Lorie left Dunmore, Alabama to California and tried
to make it into show business. To her astonishment,
she was unsuccessful after six years of trying to
get a big break. Lorie played a small role in a Porno
movie.
Lorie moved back home to Dunmore as a failure.
She made a mistake making one porno movie.
Most of the town's people had seen the porno
movie Midnight Masquerade. Nine years later,
Lorie received two death threats. She hired
Maleah Perdue from the Powell Agency. The FBI
believes there is a serial killer that's murdering
the cast in Midnight Masquerade. State, local
enforcement, and the FBI are working with Powell
Agency.
Dead By Midnight could stand alone. Although, I
recommend also reading The Murder Game. This is
the book where Nicole was an FBI agent and met
Griffin Powell. I would recommend reading the
Silent Killer. Most of the characters in The Murder
Game and Silent Killer are in Dead By Midnight.
Dead By Midnight has too many characters; too
many story lines going at once with two serial
killers. One serial killer, murdering the cast in
Midnight Masquerade. Then, the other serial killer,
killed two Griffin Powell Agency employees. Ms.
Barton left the Powell Agency for another series.
I like Maleah who works for Powell Agency as a
detective. She is intelligent and sassy. Derek
Lawrence is a retired FBI Agent who works for
Powell Agency as a consultant. Beverly Barton
will be writing a book about these two characters.
I am looking forward to their story.

5.0 out of 5 stars
fascinating romantic suspense, Feb 5 2010
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dead By Midnight (Paperback)
Lorie Hammonds dreamed of making it in Hollywood so she left Dunmore, Alabama to pursue her dream. She left behind her boyfriend, now the town Sheriff Mike Birkett (see Silent Killer for the back story).She came home after her fantasy failed and her BFF widow Cathy Cantrell needed her (also see Silent Killer). Mike remains angry with her to the point it impacts his job as he ignores death threats aimed at her. The widower tries not to be short with his kids, eleven years old M.J. and nine years old Hannah while not understanding why they reject caring Abby Sherman who reminds him of his late wife Molly. However, Powell Agency detective Maleah Perdue takes the threats to Lorie seriously as a serial killer is methodically murdering the cast who performed in the nude in an adult film that Lorie would prefer to not count on her credits list. She will show her inner strength when the two kids become the target.
The latest Dead By romantic suspense thriller tied to the Powell Detective Agency is a tense direct sequel to the Silent Killer. The story line is fast-paced from the onset as a serial killer methodically murders the cast of a porn film with Lorie listed as an actress. As she and Mike learn via Dead by Midnight that a person cannot run from their deeds as regret and remorse are powerful feelings that never quite leave. Fans will relish this strong sequel with a fascinating unexpected potentially deadly twist that does not require reading the previous novel, although that helps with the past that haunts the present.
