Page Turner, Nov 21 2008
By Ruth R. King "Bookish Ruth" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dead Ringer (Mass Market Paperback)
Reporter Kendall Shaw nearly died at the hands of a serial killer last summer. Since returning to work, she's done her reporting from the safety of the anchor's desk. But when a young woman is found strangled by the James River, Kendall feels compelled to cover the story. She wants to prove that she can handle the tough stories - not only to herself, but also to her demanding boss and former boyfriend, Brett.Homicide detective Jacob Warrington and his partner Zack Kier have little to go on at the murder scene. The killer left no physical evidence and the only clue they have is a small gold charm engraved with the name `Ruth'.
When more victims are discovered, each with a gold charm of their own, an unsettling pattern emerges. Each victim was killed in the same manner, and they all bear an uncanny resemblance to Kendall Shaw. As Jacob tries to keep Kendall from becoming the next victim, he finds himself fighting a growing attraction to her.
Does the killer have his sights set on Kendall? And could a mystery from her past be the key to solving the crime?
While I enjoyed Dead Ringer, I felt two of the subplots should have been more fully developed. One promising subplot with Kendall's boss Brett saw no real resolution. Another subplot, this time involving Kendall's roommate Nicole and one of her photography clients, was more fleshed out, but it didn't feel believable to me. However, Dead Ringer offered up some great twists, an interesting protagonist, and a terrifying killer. These three elements made it a difficult book to put down.

Dead Ringer by Mary Burton-A Joyfully Recommended Title!!, Nov 27 2008
By M. Nix - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dead Ringer (Mass Market Paperback)
Television reporter, Kendall Shaw barely survived an attack by a madman and when women who bear a striking resemblance to her start turning up dead, it appears she may have reason to worry again. Detective Jacob Warwick doesn't want to be drawn to Kendall but can't seem to stop himself so when a demented killer sets her in his crosshairs, Jacob will do whatever he can to protect her. But can he convince her to take a chance on love?An edgy romantic suspense that keeps you turning the pages, Dead Ringer is not to be missed! After reading I'm Watching You, I wanted more and Mary Burton certainly delivered and has left me wanting more again! After immersing myself in Kendall and Jacob's story, Ms. Burton has left me impatiently wanting more of Tess, Nicole and David. An author worth stalking Mary Burton's Dead Ringer should be on every romantic suspense lover's reading list. Definitely Joyfully Recommended!

"Dead Ringer", May 23 2010

This review is from: Dead Ringer (Mass Market Paperback)
Most of the characters in I'm Watching You are in "Dead Ringer." I would recommend reading "I'm Watching You.""Dead Ringer" is a second book in a sequel "I'm Watching You." Kendall Shaw is a television Anchorwoman. She was attacked by a serial killer in I'm Watching You. In Dead Ringer she isn't as aggressive as she was in the first book. She was adopted when she was three years old. Since her attack, Kendall is having bad dreams. She is certain the bad dreams are related to her life before her adoption. Kendall decided to locate her birth parents and discovered that her's was a closed adoption.
There is an obsessed serial killer murdering women who looks like Kendall. Detective Jacob Warwick is investigating the murders. The two victims bear close resemblance to Kendall. The third victim had blonde hair and blue eyes. She didn't resemble Kendall. Jacob believes that Kendall will be the next victim. Jacob has strong feelings for Kendall. He has his own demons to work out before he's able to commit.
Dead Ringer is an exciting read. The ending left some loose ends for me. The author didn't say much about Cole Markham, only that he was a neighbor and was keeping an eye on Kendall. Dana Miller was a pillar of the community. There wasn't an explanation as to why Dana behaved aggressively.
A few shortfalls. I recommend!
